Derivative applicant approved but primary applicant pending

Hi! My husband is the primary applicant and I am derivative applicant . I got my I-485 approved 3 days ago, while his is still pending. Our PD is 05/2013,, and our case was moved to Chicago FO 2 before my 485 approval. For some of you who recently were approved, have any of you been in a similar situation? If yes, how long after your dependents were you approved? Or did you guys got approval at same time than your dependents? What should be expected in terms of API updates? Does the fact that I got approved means my husband should be approved soon? Thank you all!

Congrats @Sweet Life on your approval. I pray your husband gets his approval soon. Question: When your case moved to the FO, were you invited for an interview l?

Hi, same thing just happened to me. My wife's i485 got approved about 1.5 weeks ago. Mine is still pending, how long did it take for your husband to receive his I485?

@Sweet Life: Thanks! Did your husband took any measures such as a congressional inquiry to follow up on the case?
