✅ EB-3 Marriage-Based I-485 Approved - Seattle FO PD 2025-03

✅ **Case Status: Approved** --- Applicant filed I-130 and I-485 concurrently in March 2025 and received approval in approximately 4 months through the Seattle Field Office. The case involved a previous I-485 denial and an overstay, both of which did not prevent approval. Concurrent filing of I-130 and I-485 (along with I-765) was submitted in March 2025. Biometrics were scheduled and completed within about 6 weeks of filing. An interview notice was issued roughly 3 months after filing, with the interview completed at the Seattle Field Office in July 2025. The interview lasted approximately 20 minutes, split between bona-fide marriage questions and I-485 questions. Silent API status updates on both petitions were observed the day before approval, with the actionRequired flag changing from True to False. I-485 was approved the following day. Notably, the applicant had a prior I-485 denial and an immigration overstay on record; the interviewing officer stated the overstay would not be used against the applicant in her decision. --- **[📎 View Original Post](https://www.reddit.com/r/USCIS/comments/1v6qb63/approved_seattle_fo/)** *Source: Reddit I-485 EB* --- *This post was automatically curated from online sources to share real case experiences with the community.*
