⏳ **Case Status: Pending**
---
Applicant completed I-485 interview at Los Angeles field office in June 2026 with a minor form correction required. Officer verbally indicated approval with green card expected in 4 weeks, but no action has been taken on the case since the interview. I-130 remains stuck on 'interview was scheduled' status while I-485 and I-765 show 'processing by USCIS'.
Case Overview:
Applicant attended I-485 adjustment of status interview at the Los Angeles USCIS field office on June 5, 2026. The interview went smoothly with one minor correction needed on the application form regarding a prior visa denial (applicant clarified ineligibility was the reason, not a discretionary denial). The interviewing officer verbally indicated the green card would arrive within 4 weeks.
Post-Interview Status:
- I-130: Stuck on 'Interview was scheduled' — has not updated to approved
- I-485: Shows 'Processing by USCIS'
- I-765 (EAD): Shows 'Processing by USCIS'
Key Issue:
Despite a positive interview outcome and officer's verbal 4-week estimate, the case has not moved forward. This is a known pattern at high-volume field offices like Los Angeles where backend processing lags behind interview completion.
Timeline:
- Interview Date: June 5, 2026
- Expected Green Card (per officer): ~July 2026
- Current Status: Still pending as of August 2026
