#i485
Green card holder sponsor spouse
Hi everyone,
I currently have a green card for 2 years now and I’ll be eligible for citizenship in about 3 years(a total of 5 years). I just got married and my spouse overstayed her holiday visa and now I have to file for her(she is currently in the US too). I do see that for the category F2A the priority date is “current” meaning I can file both the i130 and i485 but the issue is I am seeing everywhere that I’ll need a waiver(i601A) because she violated the terms of her visa and because am not a citizen. So right now what will happen if I file for the i485? Will it be automatically be rejected without the waiver or will she be given a work permit until she is called for the interview then get rejected because she doesn’t have the waiver? I am asking because if she can get a work permit for now that will be good while she waits then maybe by the time they call us for the interview I would have been a citizen by then and the waiver will not be necessary. Please help #greencard #i601A #i485 #i130 #familypreference

I talked to USCIS agent and she said that my application is in Phoenix(not sure why) . it was originally at NBC . My local field office is Seattle . Will it transfer to the right field office or they will make the decision there . Any thoughts ?

I485 moved from NBC to San Jose FO.
After my EB1B I140 was approved, I filed my 485 which went to NBC at first and now got transferred to San Jose Field Office. My AP, EAD have been approved.
Did any of your 485's go to SJ FO as well ? If so how long did it take (counting days only AFTER SJ FO transfer) to get approved? or how long have you been waiting ?

Yesterday I went to my interview and they only gave me a letter that they don't need anything at the moment, what do you think could have happened??
