FAQ
The first step is to file a Petition for Alien Relative, Form I-130, with the Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) for your spouse (husband or wife) to immigrate to the United States.
If the Form I- 130 petition is denied, the district director shall deny the Form I-485 application and the Form I- 601 ingly. If the Form I-130 is approved, the district director shall issue a new decision fully addressing the applicant's ground of inadmissibility and the merits of his Form I-601 application.
Submitting Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, is the first step to help an eligible relative apply to immigrate to the United States and apply for a Green Card.
Even though it appears that USCIS approved the I-485 before approving the I-130, the I-130 has most likely been approved, and the case status has not yet updated to reflect it. If you filed your I-130 online, log into your account and see if there is an approval notice in the Documents tab.
After filing Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, the approval process can take anywhere from 10 to 13 months for immediate relatives and could take several years for family preference categories. This is an approximation. It may be shorter for some and longer for others.
485 never needs to be filed with 130. t can be filed concurrently sometimes. Usually that's the case when the beneficiary is an immediate relative but it's not a requirement to file concurrently. f you want, you can file 130, wait for approval, then file 485. Nobody stopping you.
When the foreign husband or wife is present in the United States, it is often possible to file the I-130 and the I-485 at the same time (a process known as “concurrent filing”).

Approximately 10 to 14 Months After Filing Most Form I-130 petitions for immediate relatives are approved within a 10 to 14 month time frame, but they can take longer in some cases. If you are in the United States and also filed an application to adjust status, USCIS will begin reviewing Form I-485 at this point.
