I-485
Hi friends,
I have applied for adjustment of status (I-485) in October 2025 and still showing case is received Biometrics was done in November 2025. I am wondering how long it will take the decision/approval?

With an October 2025 I-485 and biometrics done in November 2025, you’re still very early in the process. Most I-485 cases take around 8 to 18 months from filing, sometimes longer depending on category and field office.
It’s completely normal to see no updates for many months after biometrics with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. At only 4 to 5 months in, there’s no reason to worry yet.
