how is it gonna get approved before the interview? yo i485 has to get approved or not after the interview

that’s what I meant lol

interview can be schedule weeks, months, years from “case is ready for an interview” depend on ur field office working permit approval time : 8-10 months

@stephano what’s your field office/place you live?

I live in Orlando and my field office is the national benefit center

@stephano field office is Orlando for your I-485…. EAD is processed in NBC…since you applied in August, I’m guessing you might get your work permit in about 2-3 month… Currebtly May and first week of June filers are receiving EAD

thanks for the info🙏🏼

We both from Perú

I sent them both at the same time and my I-130 was approved in like two months

taya : are u outside US ? OP probably do it inside US

Taya : what visa are u applying ?

@Taya Shavers well you received bad information girl, my lawyer told me to file both forms so the process would be faster.

taya : outside US u have to wait until ur I-130 approve first ( consular processing )

@Taya Shavers I don’t know about that. My dad was the one who did my file since he’s the petitioner. He filed the two forms before my 21st birthday so I could be F1 category.

@Taya Shavers well actually in my uscis account, my i-130 has no upgrades. It just says It was received and that’s it, like if it had never been approved. On the other hand, my i-485 has all the upgrades, the biometric appointment and it says my case is ready for an interview. Maybe that’s happening to you. Try to talk to your lawyer and ask him if you can send your i-485

@stephano you’re case is different than Tayas. For child under 21, I-130 will remain as case received… once I-485 has its final decision , then I-130 will update. As for @Taya , she has to wait for her I-130 gets approved. I-130 might take months or years to approve. Once both PD under F1 is current and with an approved I-130, then only she will be able to travel to US. I-485 is only for those who are living inside the US

@Waiting 4Ever ah yeah I forgot that point, cause I’m adjusting my status inside the country. You’re right.
