I-485 AOS Delay After I-130 Approval: Indianapolis FO Case Update

An I-485/I-130 concurrent filer at the Indianapolis Field Office reports significant delays following their I-130 approval in October 2025. After submitting a Response to a Request for Evidence (RFE) in November 2025 — specifically for a police record for a 90-year-old father in a non-designated country — the case has seen no further movement. The applicant's timeline shows receipt in August 2025, biometrics in late August, active review updates through October, and an RFE issued and responded to in November. Since then, the case has gone silent despite USCIS records showing nothing outstanding. The applicant notes observing other filers with later priority dates or filing dates receiving green cards or same-day AOS approvals, contributing to frustration. A check of the USCIS Case Status API shows no new activity. This case highlights a common pain point for adjustment of status applicants: post-RFE response delays, particularly at certain field offices. Indianapolis FO processing times may vary significantly from national averages, and RFEs involving foreign police records can introduce additional adjudication complexity. Applicants in similar situations are generally advised to monitor their case online, use the USCIS online inquiry tool after the posted processing time has passed, or consult with an immigration attorney if no movement occurs within 90 days of the RFE response.
