I-485 before I-765?
Has anyone had their green card (adjustment of status based on marriage to a US citizen) approved before their actual work permit? My I-485 seems to be moving more smoothly through the process than my work permit

@Mauro L Yes, the 485 can be approved prior to the work permit. If the 485 is approved then everything else is approved.

@Kingsley B thanks. that (485) process seems to be running smoother, so I’m hoping that comes in soon. thanks 🙏🏼. Never wanted to work so bad in my life 🤣

@Mauro L YES! my husband got his 10 year green card and never received a work permit. We went to interview and greencard approved in 4 hours and a couple months later they closed the case for the work permit. Goodluck

@Mauro L I got my approval to work 6 days ago I think and my card was produced today. I was approved at day like 238 I believe. I am from Canada and our records are shared instantly so I was very worried there was something wrong. I sent an injury the first day I could. You can check to see when you are allowed to send an injury. I agree, never wanted to work so much. The green card is highly dependent on which field office will adjudicate your 485 and if you get a REF. I wish you the best. I am on this app everyday. It is helpful to know you are not alone.
Asking Emma is not helpful. Nor is chatting with live agents. The best way of contacting USCIS is to call.
