USCIS applicants face delays due to DUI convictions

“I have an advance parole that is valid til 2030 but the i-485 that’s tied on it got denied. I have a second i-485 that’s currently processing and a valid EAD and a second i-131 tied to my second i-485. Can i still use my 1st advance parole that’s valid til 2030? submitted by /u/InitialCommon3151 [link] [comments]”

“I received a NOID for answering the public charge question on the I-485 form incorrectly.. it seems like USCIS just wants me to answer the follow up questions as I left them blank. I looked up Reddit and Facebook and it seems this usually means you get RFE’d. Should I be concerned that it is a NOID instead? Already did the interview. This for AOS. submitted by /u/chickenandcow890 [link] [comments]”

“My wife (a U.S. citizen) and I filed our marriage-based I-130 and I-485 concurrently on June 20, 2025. We attended our USCIS interview on August 22, 2025. My EAD was approved, and I’ve been working legally while waiting for my green card. On September 30, 2026, my I-130 status changed to “Notice Explaining USCIS’ Actions Was Mailed.” I received a NOID dated October 2, 2026, stating that USCIS believes we haven’t provided sufficient evidence that our marriage is bona fide. Deadline is November 2,”

“I filed I-485, I-130, I-765 concurrently on August 18, did my biometrics appointment on Sep. 11, now I'm just waiting for approval. Anyone have any clues on the current average processing times for I-765? I have some job offers lined up and am anxious with the wait time submitted by /u/Senpee [link] [comments]”

“Hi everyone - we applied for I-130 and I-485 on October 2025 through marriage. We had our interview at Atlanta Office on February 2026 and I-130 was approved in April while RFE on criminal background proof was requested in July and we submitted right away. It has been 3 months with no response on RFE from the USCIS. It seems like they have not even opened up the submitted RFEs according to the API. We already reached out to congressman three weeks ago - no luck. Any advice on how longer we have”

“Hi everyone, I’m hoping someone here might have some insight into my situation. I filed for my green card through marriage to a U.S. citizen on September 18. At the same time, we filed the I-130 and I-485. I also have a previous immigration case related to Special Immigrant Juvenile (SIJ) status. My I-360 was previously approved, so I’m wondering if that could have something to do with the I-485 rejection. Today, I received a rejection notice for my I-485, but I’m not completely sure why. I’m wa”

“My husband and I recently had our marriage-based I-130/I-485 interview. About two weeks later, we received a NOID for “Lack of Spouse Bona Fides.” We’re confused because we had already submitted substantial evidence, including joint bank accounts/statements, joint tax returns, two joint leases from different residences, life insurance with my spouse as beneficiary, joint insurance, shared-address/utility documentation, and lots of relationship, wedding, family, and everyday-life photos. Nothing”

“After receiving NOID asking for court transcripts for criminal case I sent them but was denied today asking for a plea agreement(none exists it with CT Accelerated Rehabilitation). For those who filed I-290b how long did it take to re-open and did you use a lawyer? submitted by /u/Downtown-Addition874 [link] [comments]”

“Has anyone ever experienced this? So my I-30 is pending along with I-485. On July 15th uscis issued a NOID for the I-130. So here’s where it gets interesting. We got the notification about the status update, but never received the copy of the Noid neither in physical copy nor under the document tab in the account. After noticing 18 days had passed with no mail documentation, my lawyer then called had us called uscis and also a non delivery request. FINALLY uscis sent the mail on August 27th and”

“I honestly still can’t believe I’m writing this. After 3 years and 6 months of waiting, uncertainty, stress, and countless days wondering when my case would finally move forward… MY I-485 HAS BEEN APPROVED! 🎉🇺🇸 And the craziest part? I filed a federal Mandamus lawsuit Pro Se — without an attorney. Exactly 15 days after filing the lawsuit, USCIS approved my I-485. I went through the entire process myself. No lawyer. No expensive legal team. Just research, preparation, patience, and finally dec”

“Hi everyone, I’m looking for people who have been in a similar situation, especially anyone who received an I-485 NOID because of a DUI and was still on probation. Here is my timeline: November 14, 2025: Filed my I-130 and I-485 through my U.S. citizen wife. April 2, 2026: Had my immigration interview. May 28, 2026: I-130 was approved. September 2, 2026: Received an I-485 NOID . USCIS stated that I am eligible for adjustment but is considering denying my I-485 as a matter of discretion because o”

“Looking for input from anyone who's been through this or has relevant experience. Background: - Family-based (F1 category) I-130 petition filed more than 8 years ago. Still pending, no decision. - Priority date has been current for a while - Recently filed I-485 (adjustment of status), I-765 (EAD), and those are still in normal early processing. What I'm trying to figure out: - Is 8 years genuinely as far outside normal I-130 processing times as it feels? - Has anyone actually filed a wr”
