I-485 application query
Hello everyone
I'm a permanent resident who filed an I-130 petition for my spouse in November 2025. Although it's still being processed, the priority date is current. Can I proceed with filing the I-485 application for my spouse while the I-130 petition is still pending?
thanks

you have to waited for the application for I 130 to be approved first ...

Is your spouse in the US? If so, you can file 485 while 130 is pending. It’s called concurrent filing. USCIS will schedule interview for both of them and approve them together.

My spouse resides in the US, and from what I understand, concurrent filing applies to spouses of US citizens.

@Mr MSK If your PD is currently, file the I-485 immediately.

@Mr MSK the answer is yes, you can file the I485 whem the priority date is current and your spouse is in the US.
