Any I485 derivatives who weren’t approved with principal? How long did you have to wait before your approval?
Any I485 derivatives who weren’t approved with principal? How long did you have to wait before your approval came through? I’m a derivative applicant still waiting for approval and the principal in my case was approved on May 16. Most cases I’ve seen are when the derivatives get approved immediately after the principal so not sure why that hasn’t happened in my case.
I filed in October 2025, case was transferred to Harlingen TX on Dec 23, silent updates in Feb (someone at Harlingen probably looked at my file and couldn’t action as primary wasn’t approved yet). Principals file moved to San Bernardino FO in April and my file moved to the same FO on April 24 (received a third FTA0 and Emma confirmed). So seems like our files are linked but not sure why my approval didn’t happen concurrently/immediately after. Tried congressional inquiry that resulted in a boilerplate reply. So tired of waiting and constantly checking the API for updates and would love to get an idea of how often this has happened to others and what the resolution timeframe was.
