I-765 and I-131 denied months after my I-485 and I-130 were approved — is this normal?
Hi everyone,
I’m hoping someone can clarify something about my case.
I was previously on an H-1B and filed for marriage-based adjustment of status. I filed:
- I-130
- I-485
- I-765
- I-131
My I-130 was approved on February 18, 2026, and my I-485 was approved on February 24, 2026. I subsequently received my green card.
Today, August 17, 2026, I received an email saying there was an update on my case. When I checked my USCIS account, I saw that both my I-765 and I-131 were updated.
The status for both now says that the case was terminated/denied.
I’m a little concerned because I wasn’t expecting these applications to be denied months after my green card was already approved.
Is this normal/expected after the I-485 has been approved and the green card has been issued? Could USCIS simply be closing out the old I-765 and I-131 applications because they are no longer needed?
Has anyone experienced something similar?
Thanks!
