congratulations. how much time took by the court for reopen your case and then how much time taken to get approval for I485. I am on the same boat but I am waitng for I 130approval notice. my removal proceeding case is in NJ.
Newark fieldSep 24, 2022
thank you, all the court did is to terminate my removal proceedings. and I reopened my i485 with USCIS. it took 7 months to terminate my case( but it’s little faster right). 4 weeks to reopen with USCIS and 4 months for USCIS to schedule interview and adjust my status.
Maulik patelSep 24, 2022
oh so they took your interview again.

r RRFFOct 3, 2022
congratulations!! I have a question I’m in the same processing, my I-130 was approved with my interview, the judge closed finally my case and now I sent the I-485, what’s next? I will have another interview?
Baltimore 410Oct 5, 2022
perhaps not there’s a backlog going on, but at the same time is a chance you might. which field office u at? @RRFF
Stephen SupaflyOct 6, 2022
hey congratulations !! I thought after the I-130 would be granted it would be faster to ask the judge to rule over the I-485 instead of going back to USCIS ?
Moamen khalifaOct 21, 2022
my i-485 is administrative closure so how I opened it again?!
🤝 JasOct 21, 2022
since when is it closed?
🤝 JasOct 21, 2022
and did immigration judge terminated ur proceedings or granted ur application?
Moamen khalifaOct 21, 2022
last year
🤝 JasOct 21, 2022
it was terminated or granted?
Moamen khalifaOct 22, 2022
i really don’t know but my case still closed
🤝 JasOct 22, 2022
u have to check on EOIR case status
Moamen khalifaOct 22, 2022
my lawyer said deportation case has been dismissed so what’s next?!
🤝 JasOct 22, 2022
check urself first, on EOIR case status. if terminated get a copy of judge’s order, make an infopass appointment and submit those documents in person.
Moamen khalifaOct 22, 2022
on EOIR sill says this case is pending
🤝 JasOct 22, 2022
if Eoir says ur case is still pending not dismissed, then there is no way u can reopen ur i485 application
Moamen khalifaOct 23, 2022
ohh ok thank you so much for your time and help you been great 😊

Baltimore 410Nov 11, 2022
did you had to keep calling them
Toya’s WorldNov 12, 2022
no @baltimore 410 just have to wait until the judge decides
🤝 JasNov 12, 2022
whoever wants to reopen administrative closed i485, contact uscis, say infopass, then system will connect u to the live representative. then tell representative u need an infopass appointment to submit court order in person. And u want decision on ur case. then the representative will give u service item number. and within 30 days u should receive a call from tier two officer and u need to explain the same thing again, like what situation u in now. and the officer should schedule u infopass appointment at ur local fied office. then u should bring termination letter along with i485 to the local field office. i hope this helps. and good luck all
