I have Employement I-485(derivative) and marriaged based I-485

When a person has two I-485 applications pending, the hope is that the U.S.C.I.S. field office will have both in the file at the time of interview. If the officer does not approve the marriage-based I-485 based on the pending employment-based I-485, you will have to wait until the officer is able to obtain the other file before your case can be finally adjudicated. You can attempt to notify the field office by letter ahead of time that you have the other case pending and where it presently is at, but there is no guarantee that it will be in the file at the time of interview. Unfortunately such could delay an adjudication by months.Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.
