Adjustment of Status Processing time
Green card adjustment of status form i485 processing time is updated daily using the official USCIS processing times and data shared by real applicants in various forums and trackers online.
Travelling while i485 application is pending is not recommended if you do not have any other valid visa to re-enter USA.
I-485 Concurrent Filing with I-130
Form I-485 is also the next step in the family-based green card process after submitting Form I-130 (Petition for Alien Relative). If the sponsored husband or wife is present in the United States, you can file I-130 and I-485 together as “concurrent” application.

Electronic benefit transfer (EBT) is an electronic system that allows state welfare departments to issue benefits via a magnetically encoded payment card.
Case Outside Normal Processing Time
If your ‘case received date’ is before the date (worst case) mentioned above, you should raise a service request with USCIS to check why your case has been delayed. This could mean your case is taking longer than other similar cases and may be stuck in administrative processing.

hi Anil,
I had a speed traffic ticket few years before and that was contested and dismissed by my lawyer.
I filed i485 last month and did not include anything related to this ticket.
1) Is there any issue for adjustment?
2) Does this ticket come up in the background check?
Anil Gupta 14 May, 19 at 9:01 pm
If the ticket was dismissed, then it should not show up in the records.

Hi Anil, I am about to apply for I-485 from an EB3. How do I know to which service center my application goes to?
Anil Gupta 7 May, 19 at 11:02 am
Follow the form i485 instructions. It will have the USCIS address that you should mail it to based on your current address.

I am based in Florida and requesting premium processing. when filling up form I-907 it says Texas SC. However, the California SC and Vermont SC also say handle premium processing but doesnt specify any state. Could i send my application to either of those? Thanks
Anil Gupta 7 May, 19 at 6:21 pm
Please read the instructions on form i485 for mailing address and not I-907.
