Adjustment of Status - I-485
Fields marked as * are required.
green card through marriage
May 19th 2014 - filed i485, i130, i765, medical exam, affidavit of support, pictures, joint accounts, joint lease, checks for each form, all in one package mailed to USCIS Chicago.
June 2nd 2014 checks were cashed by USCIS
June 6th 2014 - received I-797 with biometrics appointment set for June 23rd 2014
June 10 6th 2014 - received I-797, one for each, i485, i130 and i765
June 23rd 2014 - biometrics done, picture taken
Nov 12th - called them to ask status as I was expecting at least a permit to work within 3 months and more than 5 months have gone by.
Dec 1st 2014 - USCIS sent me a letter with request for evidence. A birth certificate with translation from Portuguese to English. I had originally sent a marriage certificate with a divorce note in it which is what Brazilians have available after getting married. The original birth certificate is retained by the government to prevent fraud, like people get married again and again... But that was long ago and as I just found out that nowadays in Brazil the birth certificate is available again and I got a new copy and mailed it to USCIS.
Dec 18th 2014 - Mailed the required evidence (birth certificate) with translation and translation certificate to USCIS
Dec 30th 2014 - got an email from USCIS stating they are again working on my case and I should have a decision by Feb 28th 2015, unless an interview or other evidences are needed.
So I am waiting longer than some people I see here, but not as long as some other people.
My worries are that soon after I filed all the forms, I started to check the status online, and I see that the i485 was sent from Chicago to Nebraska office for processing. But why just the i485? I filed i485 together with i130. And the recent request for evidence when they asked me for a birth certificate came form yet another office, the US Dep of Home Land Security in Lee's Summit, MO, that is now handling the i485 (adjustment of status). Again, if they are not looking into the whole picture, that I am married to a US citizen for over two years and have filed a i130 and many other forms as advised by the USCIS web site, I may be denied the adjustment of status. Really worried. should I have sent them a letter together with my birth certificate to ask about this concern, or should I still do it?
