I765 closed due to status received by other means
Hi, I filed I-485, I-765 and I-131 concurrently. Today I received a status update on my I-765. The update was that it is now closed due “to the applicant or petitioner received a status or benefit through other means”. Does anyone know what this means?

Your green card most likely has been approved and no need to get work authorization card.

if your date isn’t current, then it’s most likely USCIS error
Lior NevoJul 21, 2023
@Steve Ritam my date is current
R
Raj veerJul 21, 2023
@Lior Nevo, My date is also current, hopefully our i485 is approved.
Nepali BoyJul 21, 2023
check i485 or may be an erro from uscis, contact them
Lior NevoJul 21, 2023
@Nepali Boy how do I contact them? the automated assistant will not give me a live agent

Skeletal RemainsJul 21, 2023
your I-485 was approved, check status for the i-485

I got the same status yesterday and today they reopen my I-765. now the status is “reopened for reconsideration”.
M
MJ BJul 21, 2023
me too @egg Teemo exactly the same thing
S
Skeletal RemainsJul 22, 2023
USCIS errors are getting worse by the day it seems. Generally that message meant your green card was approved, but I guess it could mean anything these days. Smh
M
MJ BJul 22, 2023
@Skeletal Remains The strange thing that these reopen mainly means we submit a motion to do so which I don’t know anyone actually did it but yet got these messages
s
shakshuka 94Jul 22, 2023
for people whom it says “reopned for reconsideration” are your priority dates current? and are you all from EB categories? @MJ B @egg Teemo @Lior Nevo @Raj veer
R
Raj veerJul 22, 2023
@shakshuka 94 Yes, mine is current.
Lior NevoJul 23, 2023
@shakshuka 94 mine is current on EB2
M
MJ BJul 23, 2023
@shakshuka 94 yes, mine is current and yes EB category

shakshuka 94Jul 23, 2023
now that they have reopened all cases they might take their time to get back to those but atleast there is some update. We now know they have started working on our cases. Also, I think when they come back to our I-765 for people who are current they will probably approve their I-485 directly and later terminate I-765.
M
MJ BJul 23, 2023
@shakshuka 94 I hope this is going to happen but why reopen them. I read to reopen a case you should submit a for for motion but I didn’t do anything so not really sure what is happening but I’m hoping it will change again this week for that. thank you 🙏
s
shakshuka 94Jul 23, 2023
@MJ B - Same I didn’t request for motion to reopen. It can be a mistake. As in may be a new person would have mistakenly approved cases or a system glitch. So basically they backtracked updates to all cases between a certain date range. It could have been very time consuming to go one by one and check all cases rather they backtrackerd for the full batch and now will only work on current cases for I-485 and for others they will work on I-765. There was no need for them to look into people who are not current. Just my assumption. Please keep everyone posted with new updates. I will do the same.
M
MJ BJul 23, 2023
@shakshuka 94 I hope this is what exactly is I asked my lawyer and she said she would not know anything until we receive the notice itself. so I hope what you have mentioned is what actually happened. let’s hope for the best and keep an eye for any updates I’ll post here once I get any updates. thank you for sharing your thoughts.
s
shakshuka 94Jul 23, 2023
@MJ B - sure thing! I am very sure that notice will be useless. It would not explain a lot. First one will say I-765 closed cz I-485 is approved (which is not the case). The second one will say we are reopening your case as there was a mistake and will keep you posted with new updates 😂. Let’s see. Fingers crossed 🤞
M
MJ BJul 23, 2023
@shakshuka 94 I will post here once I get any updates. yeah stay positive and finger crossed 🤞.
R
Raj veerJul 24, 2023
@shakshuka 94 @MJ B @Lior Nevo Any update on your cases? My 765 got updated today again with status “Case was reopened”
s
shakshuka 94Jul 24, 2023
Mine just got updates and says the same as yours. Not sure what is going on.
s
shakshuka 94Jul 24, 2023
Did anyone of you get a notice yet? I haven’t received any. Can someone explain what the notice says?
R
Raj veerJul 24, 2023
No notice received. Not sure what is happening. I just checked bunch of cases which were updated on 21st with Case Closed status has the same update as ours “Case Reopened” with today’s date.
M
MJ BJul 24, 2023
@Raj veer Hi Raj I just checked again and it shows case reopen so no changes as of now. I hope they notice this issue. how to call them and get hold of an agent?
R
Raj veerJul 24, 2023
@MJ B , Go through EMMA and ask which service center my case is, it will give you option to chat with Live agent.
s
shakshuka 94Jul 24, 2023
@Raj veer @MJ B - Have you all created a service request with them?
s
shakshuka 94Jul 24, 2023
@Raj veer - Also, how did you find cases which got closed on 21st? Hilites doesn’t explain this status.
M
MJ BJul 24, 2023
@Raj veer Thanks Raj I appreciate it
M
MJ BJul 24, 2023
@shakshuka 94 no I have not done yet
R

@shakshuka 94 Go to CaseStatusExt.com website

MJ BJul 24, 2023
@Skeletal Remains @shakshuka 94 @Raj veer Hey Guys, just finished a phone call with information agent from USCIS. she told me all of what’s happening is a systematic issues and the case is still processing. so I hope this will help whoever is anxious and worries about this.
s
shakshuka 94Jul 24, 2023
@MJ B - Did they say something about expeditious processing? As this is a USCIS error, can we expedite our applications? Not sure how much time they will take to resolve all of this.
M
MJ BJul 24, 2023
Hi @shakshuka 94 I don’t think so as long as you’re still on the processing time period. you can once it’s out of the normal processing time.
R
Raj veerJul 25, 2023
@MJ B @shakshuka 94 @Lior Nevo Any further updates?
Lior NevoJul 25, 2023
not sure what’s going on but I have approvals for both i765 and i131. I’m sceptical due to the mess with the systems
R
Raj veerJul 25, 2023
@Lior Nevo Fingers crossed. I will pray for you that it stays the same.
M
MJ BJul 25, 2023
Hi @Raj veer No, I just called them as I mentioned earlier and all they have told me that there is an issue with the system and the cases are still processing normally. any update from your end.
R
Raj veerJul 25, 2023
@MJ B No apart from one in the morning that “Case was reopened”. On my wife’s application, we just received update that her EAD / Combo card has been picked up by USPS.
M
MJ BJul 25, 2023
Hi @Lior Nevo if you got it in your hand it won’t matter whatever the change on the case if you physically got it. so hopefully nothing will change for you and keep up the positive vibes.
M
MJ BJul 25, 2023
Hi @Raj veer congratulations 🎊 so happy to hear that. so one case the card was approved and the other one still shows Reopen?
R
Raj veerJul 25, 2023
@MJ B Thank You. Yes mine is pending. Her 765 and 131 both got approved. my main worry is 485 as I am from India and my PD is current till end of this month and then as you know it is going to be retro regressed. So hopefully it gets approved before 31st July. Jai Bhole.
M
MJ BJul 25, 2023
Hi @Raj veer I pray it will be done before the end of this week and you will share the good news with us here. I wish it Will go through easily.
M
MJ BJul 25, 2023
@Raj veer when is your PD? mine is 5/14/2022 do you think it’s about time now?
R
Raj veerJul 25, 2023
@MJ B Thank You so much. I will pray for you too. Are you from India, if yes then your PD is not current, if not then yes it should have been already approved. But the issue is, how USCIS processes the cases, no one knows. I have seen cases applied a month after me have already been approved. Don’t know if it is Application date, PD date or combination of both.
M
MJ BJul 25, 2023
@Raj veer No, I’m not from India. I see how it is. When I called yesterday the agent told me that they are working on my I-485 since the 6th of this month. so hopefully something will come out soon. I appreciate your prayers and I will do the same for you. best of luck in this hectic journey.
M
MJ BJul 25, 2023
@Raj veer today my case got updated again to just “Case Reopen” so it went from “Reopen for reconsideration “ to just “Case Reopen” any one else got that?
R
Raj veerJul 25, 2023
@MJ B No updates since yesterday. This wait time and suspense is killing me :(
M
MJ BJul 25, 2023
@Raj veer hahahaha yeah brother I hear ya. stay positive and keep the good faith. best of luck 🤞

shakshuka 94Jul 25, 2023

s
shakshuka 94Jul 25, 2023
you can check that from Emma cz people whose cases are at West Coast field offices might see updates late in the day.
M
MJ BJul 25, 2023
@shakshuka 94 how do you even get Emma answers you I have really hard time to get help through that.

@MJ B you need to ask to connect you to tier 1 agent. Use live chat option.
M
MJ BJul 26, 2023
@shakshuka 94 how can I do that I had really hard time to get to that ? only thing works is calling them
M
MJ BJul 26, 2023
@shakshuka 94 My case changed to card produced but when I connect with the live chat agent he couldn’t confirm that and he said the case still processing did anyone get this too?
e
egg TeemoJul 26, 2023
My case changed to card produced as well! waiting to see if we will get the card in the coming week. will keep you all posted
R
Raj veerJul 26, 2023

M
MJ BJul 26, 2023
@shakshuka 94 it all happened today? mine as of now still card produced

@MJ B - Yes, it all happened today. Within a span of 4-5 hours
M
MJ BJul 26, 2023
@shakshuka 94 Did get to verify it with the live agent? mine still as is sine like 10 hours ago
s
shakshuka 94Jul 26, 2023
@MJ B - No, I didn’t verify through agent. Might do that tomorrow if they don’t ship it.
R
Raj veerJul 26, 2023
@MJ B @shakshuka 94 If it is actually approved, it will take time to get updated. In my wife’s case, on 13th “New card is being produced” 15th Approved. 21st Card was mailed to me 24th Card was picked up by USPS (With tracking info) No update after that but through tracking we knew we were suppose to receive it today but it will be delivered tomorrow. No update
M
MJ BJul 26, 2023
@shakshuka 94 sounds good, I hope you will see a great update in the morning.
M
MJ BJul 26, 2023
@Raj veer USPS can be slow so give it till Friday and hopefully it will be there by then max.
R
Raj veerJul 26, 2023
@MJ B Yes, I am more worried about 485 as we are approaching end of this month. Also did they approve your AP. I am hoping they will approve it tomorrow for me.
M
MJ BJul 26, 2023
Hi @Raj veer No, nothing change on it just states case received. how about you? so if we got to August they go 10 years and start from there ? for all countries or the main big ones like India and China?
R
Raj veerJul 26, 2023
@MJ B Only for India :(
M
MJ BJul 26, 2023
@Raj veer I pray that yours will be approved before and it won’t be impacted since they are already working on it. 🙏🏼🤲🏼

I hope we all get our 485 approved before end of this month! they should technically approve them if application is complete.

MJ BJul 27, 2023
@shakshuka 94 I hope that too! still till Monday technically

MJ BJul 27, 2023

@MJ B Hopefully. Just received EAD for my wife.
M
MJ BJul 27, 2023
Hi @Raj veer that’s so exciting congratulations 🎊🎉 so do you think by next week we will get the USPS tracking based on your experience with your wife case?
R
Raj veerJul 27, 2023
@MJ B Thank You. I assume so. It is taking 15 days from the day of “New card is produced status” to getting the card.
M
MJ BJul 27, 2023
Hi @Raj veer so after that status did it change to approved first then USPS tracking or how was the changes?
R
Raj veerJul 27, 2023
@MJ B Correct it went to approve next day and then after 7 days, status changed to “Card was mailed to you” then after 4 days it got changed to “Card was picked up by USPS” and it had tracking number.
M
MJ BJul 27, 2023
Hi @Raj veer that’s awesome 👏 I hope this will be our next status for you and me. I’ll keep you all posted here thanks 🙏
R
Raj veerJul 27, 2023
@MJ B Status just changed to “Case was Approved”
M
MJ BJul 27, 2023
@Raj veer So happy for you finally! I checked with Emma and the agent confirmed it is approved I’m so happy and delighted 🤲🏼 thank you all for the big support in this hectic week
s
shakshuka 94Jul 27, 2023
@MJ B @Raj veer - I checked with emma. they said I-765 is approved and I-485 still being worked on. so this confirms now. It’s a concrete approval 😀
R
Raj veerJul 27, 2023
@MJ B @shakshuka 94 Congratulations, I wish 485 gets approved soon because even though my 765 is approved, I won’t be using it soon. As I have my Visa valid till 2025.
M
MJ BJul 27, 2023
@shakshuka 94 That’s awesome I’m really happy for you and I hope the I-485 will be approved soon.
M
MJ BJul 27, 2023
@Raj veer I know brother but this is the first green light for the big green lol. so I hope all goes well and fast
M
MJ BJul 27, 2023
@shakshuka 94 and @Raj veer and idea how long the I-485 will take after the EAD approval?
s
shakshuka 94Jul 27, 2023
@MJ B @Raj veer - Very variable. for current people they have been approving i-485 directly. they did not do for us. So I think atleast a month or 2 more but I hope something happens and we all get before end of this month. Special prayers for everyone!!!
