Home Forums Green Card & Citizen how long should I expect for the i-485 approval? how long should I expect for the i-485 approval? Name * Password * Email I just checked the website again. They just changed the status to card production. I am supposed to receive the cards in 30 days. It was a frustrating journey for me. I got this crappy job as a 3rd priority and waited forever. I hope no one goes through this ordeal ever again. I started my job on 1/1/2007. I discussed with my employer about greencard and my boss said yes but they started the stupid process in 2009 and finally applied in 2010. So, I had to wait another eternity just for my PD available for visa crap or something. Finally, I got to apply i-485 in September 2013. and waited another 8 months. I did really hard try not to use offensive words here... Gosh...this is a really crazy process. And it is a matter of luck. if you can find a short cut...through korean relatives, do that...
