FAQ
When the foreign husband or wife is present in the United States, it is often possible to file the I-130 and the I-485 at the same time (a process known as “concurrent filing”).
Even though it appears that USCIS approved the I-485 before approving the I-130, the I-130 has most likely been approved, and the case status has not yet updated to reflect it. If you filed your I-130 online, log into your account and see if there is an approval notice in the Documents tab.
- The processing time for U.S. citizens filing Form I-130 for a spouse beneficiary ranges from 13-54.5 months. - The processing time for legal permanent residents filing Form I-130 for a spouse beneficiary ranges from 32-67.5 months.
485 never needs to be filed with 130. t can be filed concurrently sometimes. Usually that's the case when the beneficiary is an immediate relative but it's not a requirement to file concurrently. f you want, you can file 130, wait for approval, then file 485. Nobody stopping you.
If the Form I- 130 petition is denied, the district director shall deny the Form I-485 application and the Form I- 601 ingly. If the Form I-130 is approved, the district director shall issue a new decision fully addressing the applicant's ground of inadmissibility and the merits of his Form I-601 application.
You will need to file an USCIS's I-130 form (Petition for Alien Relative) and an I-485 form (Application to Register Permanent Resident or Adjust Status). Please note, there are ancillary forms including I-765 a request for Employment Authorization Document and I-131 — request for issuance of a travel document.
If you are married to a US citizen and both of you live in the United States, you can apply for your green card (Lawful Permanent Residency) immediately after your marriage. There is no mandatory waiting period before you can submit your application.
Your US citizen spouse would complete form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative. You would complete form I-485, Application to Adjust Status and Register Lawful Permanent Residence. Both of these forms require supporting forms and evidence; read the instructions closely.
