My i-485

 

But you said your i485 was approved ....

So your question is a tiny bit confusing. Do you mean you applied for i485 ? And you are wondering how long it will take for your adjustment of status to be approved ? If so you can check your office processing times on the uscis website. 1 to 2 years could be true.

For example some offices take 4 months to a year and other offices take 1 year to 3 years everywhere is different.

Has anyone had an update for San Fernando Valley? My status finally changed to case ready to be scheduled for an interview on July 17 (PD Sep 15, 2017) which I'm sure is because of my EAD renewal and them finally reviewing my biometrics but no sign of a letter.

San Fernando Valley is now 13.5-34.5 months. That's three years. EAD renewals are taking seven months.

 

This is bloody ridiculous. 

 

Anyone got an interview yet?
