I130 approved but I485 still actively review, US Citizen filing for parents, concurrent filing
I am a U.S. citizen filing concurrent I130 & I485 for my parents. My mom’s I130 and I485 was approved about the same time. Dad’s I130 was approved same day as mom but I485 is still in actively review. it’s been a month. Anyone else in the same boat where I130 was approved but no movement on I485 when you filed concurrently? What caused the delay in your experience?

trying to understand the same, mine was approved (married with a U.S. citizen) I130 approved on may 8th and also I485 same day, my son’s I130 approved on may 8th as mine but I485 actively being reviewed since may 7th, so frustrating don’t know what’s going on. contacted uscis they said everything is normal and under processing times

@Natalia Triana was your son’s application depend on you or was it separate from yours? my parent’s applications are separate.
Natalia TrianaJun 19, 2023
yes, it was concurrent filling. Not sure if was as dependent, I called uscis and they said although it was sent both (mine and my son’s application) together, it’s processed separately

do you know what FO your application is located? what service center sent the I130 approval notice? my father’s was Nebraska and my mom’s came from Vermont. If your son had a separate I130 and I485, applied through your husband, then his application is separate from you.

Yes, it’s separate then. National benefit center and now in West Palm Beach FO

do I have to file both I130 and I485 at the same time? my mom lives abroad
Bo LJun 20, 2023
@sunny moon no. concurrent filing is only for beneficiaries already in the US
