⏳ EB-2 NIW Family I-485 Pending - Derivative Child Receipt Delay

⏳ **Case Status: Pending** --- A principal applicant filed concurrent I-485 applications for themselves, spouse, and child based on an approved EB-2 NIW I-140, with USCIS receiving the package on August 24, 2026. While the principal and spouse received receipt numbers and payment charges by August 28, the child's I-485 payment remained unprocessed as of September 3. The case raises questions about staggered processing timelines for family-based derivative applicants. A family of three filed concurrent I-485 adjustment of status applications under an EB-2 NIW I-140, mailed together in a single package received by USCIS on August 24, 2026. Separate G-1450 electronic payment forms were included for each applicant. The principal applicant and spouse had their payments charged on August 28 (4 business days after receipt) and received their I-485 receipt numbers. As of September 3, 2026 — 10 days after USCIS receipt — the derivative child's payment had not been charged and no receipt number had been issued. The applicant is seeking community input on whether staggered payment processing for derivative children is a known pattern and typical resolution timelines. --- **[📎 View Original Post](https://www.reddit.com/r/USCIS/comments/1w6sjmq/i485_payments_and_receipt_numbers_for/)** *Source: Reddit EB-3 search* --- *This post was automatically curated from online sources to share real case experiences with the community.*
