Now Editing “how long should I expect for the i-485 approval?” Name * Password * Email Topic Title (Maximum Length 80) My application receipt date is September 3, 2013. I received the labor permit/travel permit for my spouse sometime in November. Mine is being processed at Texas Service Center. According to the USCIS website, the TSC is processing something they received in October as of March sometime. So, supposedly, mine should have been approved sometime in February. I did ask my lawyer and he kept saying to wait. And finally, he told me he mailed a written inquiry sometime in April and kept saying to wait until he gets a response from USCIS... I am just so frustrated. How long does it normally take to get the i-485 approval which is being processed at TSC? Supposedly, 5.5 months according to its website. Is this website really trustworthy? Anyone who actually received an approval that was processed at TSC? I agree to the terms of service Update List
