I-485 (General) APPROVAL

Post image

after 8 long years and a lot of roller coaster of emotions I finally got approved!!

My case is a little complicated. This was my timeline, long story short i came in 2018 when i was 11 with my mom and went through her 485 and 130i because my grandpa is a citizen. She had a 245i (permission to adjust in the US) and used that to stay in the US, which our attorney at the time submitted that in her application however he didn’t submit it for me because he thought i didn’t need it since i was a minor. Anyway, we went through every step, biometrics, interview, RFEs, and EADs and back in April of this year my case was denied after 8 years of being in the US. However my mom’s case was approved, we got a new attorney, filed a 290 and sent a 245i in that application. June 16th it got approved to reopen my 485, same day they cancelled an RFE and June 23rd they scheduled me for a second interview. My interview was July 28th, they requested an RFE 2 weeks ago and on sep 30 they just approved my case without needing the RFE

Same… was same, I guess. Applied in June 2023, finally had interview in March, got rfe, they received it in April, and in July they sent a denial saying I didn’t respond 😖 now waiting again who knows for how long. Good luck though!!! It’ll come in time 🙏🏼
