Asylum Based i-485

[Victoria122019]

josh26 omg I’m totally confused with the dates already since I’ve been waiting for so long lol I applied December 2018 my husband September 2019)

[luckycharm4111]

luckycharm4111 they will make separate review and decision. I have the same situation, I am primary,applied on December 12,2019 and my husband derivative applied on September 2020. Do you have any updates on your case? I’m still at the same point as finger print were applied to my case and waiting for officer to review my case ????????♀️Soo long. Also I hope everyone is staying healthy and well.

No updates on I-485 yet. Still waiting....

[luckycharm4111]

I don't whether me and my husband should be happy or sad.

Its been almost an year now, No updates on I-485 application even after bio-metrics done in Feb 2020.

My case for the EAD application (I-765) got approved and says the card is in production in April, 2020. I am happy

but I know this means that I-485 is still pending which makes me sad even after 1 year, it is still pending and looks like they are not going to make any decision
anytime soon that's why they issued the EAD.

Hey, I feel your pain, it’s been almost 17 months of waiting. The saddest part of this process is the time that they are “steeling”from us. I would suggest them to at least backdate the time proportionally to the time that they were processing our cases.

Texas service center ????????

Hey Guys!

Applied in March 2019 at TSC..Fingerprinted in February 2020, and had a chance to talk to a Tier 2 Officer, who has mentioned that the current waiting times are actually 15-17 months at TSC.

Fru-Fru seems to be waiting for 17 months already since the application date. If you don't get your green card at the beginning of May, then I don't know anymore.. What is your filling date?

I know people advise you to focus on other things, which I personally do, but whatever you focus on, you still know you have this thing pending, and your mind keeps bringing you to it until you get it solved.

I feel punished with waiting times for a reason I don't understand. This is clearly discouraging, challenging, demotivating and stressful, and that would have been OK If I only knew how to fix it.

Hi, I filed I485 on 30th of November 2018. And I agree with you it’s totally unfair.

On the other hand, I don’t think it’s in their interest to keep us waiting, because these files add! By not making a decision on pending applications, they are doubling the work amount to themselves.

By the end of 2020, how many pending applications would they have to work on, if nothing moves? A tone! I don’t think this is in their interest, so there is something more about them “not care”. I think this looks like a HOLD for an unknown reason.

Just think about it! People keep applying for GC! If this thing doesn’t move, it will become unmanageable over time, companies will follow complains... I don’t think any healthy organization like them don’t get this in count.

It gets more stressful when you see other service centers issuing the Green cards even less time than normal. Have you noticed? Process time for Nebraska keeps going down. I have seen some people who applied there getting their green cards in less than 4 months. I am happy for them but it's so unfair for us.

[Sunny1122]

All cases have different waiting time
usualy it takes more time from back ground checks
of applicant came from his country direct to USA back ground check take less time if applicant travle more countries prior to reach USA it will take more time
Finger crossed soner or later we will get green card
waiting time is much depression but no choice I check my status evry day about 10 times or more even its sunday or holiday ????????

Same. I filled on September 2018, and fingerprinted on October 2018. So I already have been waiting for 18 months and still nothing.... Anything from TSC.

[luckycharm4111]

Is it true that Texas Service Center is closed?

When I search in google it says it is closed from last one week but I never seen this message before.

If it is true then when will be our application will move? God please help us and help them understand how we are and how we are feeling............

Hi Everyone, I come bearing great news! My i-485 has been approved from the Nebraska Service Center. I have been following this forum since 2018 so I think it is only fair I post my story with asylum, work authorization & i485. In total, my i485 processing time was 5 months.

ASYLUM:

May 2015 - Applied for Humanitarian LGBT Asylum Claim in Chicago

October 2017 - Asylum Interview in Chicago

August 2018 - Asylum Granted

* I did not renew my EAD, you do NOT need to do this because you will have an unrestricted social security card, don't waste your money *

i485:

October 15, 2019 - Case Was Recieved i485 with all evidence and medical documents (NEBRASKA SERVICE CENTER)

November 15, 2019 - Fingerprint Review Was Completed

April 10, 2020 - New Card is being Produced

April 13 - Case Was Approved ( I don't know the difference between this and the card, and why it's relevant lol)

Will update when I recieve my card


I believe people with cases in Nebraska can expect this timeline, I've been seeing this is the trend. I wish you all the best, feel free to ask me questions.
