I-485 Finaly approved!!!
I’ve been waiting for this since 2020 when I first start my EB2-NIW process. Here is my journey:
• 2018: Entered the U.S. on L-1 visa.
• Jan 17, 2020: Filed my first I-485 (based on EB-2 NIW) while in valid status.
• Dec 5, 2022: My first I-140 was denied.
• March 1, 2023: Filed a motion (I-290B) to reopen the denied I-140.
• March 15, 2023: Filed a new EB-2 NIW I-140 and request to transfer the I-485 to this new I-140.
• June 2023: My new I-140 was approved.
• April 15, 2025: USCIS ignored my request to transfer and my first I-485 was officially denied based on the denial of my first I-140.
• April 23, 2025: Filed a brand-new I-485 based on the approved I-140.
• July 2025: Received approval of my new I-765 (EAD).
• July 17, 2025: My new I-485 was APPROVED!
Wish you all the best on your journey! Don’t give up!! When you do the right thing you will deserved!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Congratulations, has your L1 visa been valid all this time?
Felipe Muniz ToledoJul 28, 2025
No, my L1 visa expired in 2021. But I was with the I-485 pending all the time, so I was on a lawful presence.

how you save status ?
Jackson USep 5, 2025
@Felipe Muniz Toledo Is it just lawful presence or also maintaining lawful status? I was told it's not about being lawfully present but lawful status
