my dependent I-485 was denied, then reopened. processing times?

[Caroline P 0]

Hi there, I'm writing here with hope to have some similar experience, or some advice.

 

To make the long story short: I was sponsored by my work for the green card process and my husband is my dependent. We were waiting for our final interview when USCIS denied my I-485 (late January 2022), which led to the denial of my spouse (dependent i-485). Turns out we got denied by mistake and with the help of our lawyer, we filed for a motion to reopen my case. My case got approved and I received a green card in less than a week in my mailbox. But, here's my problem, my husband still haven't received his green card. His status was still denied until August 2022!!! And now has a "case reopened" status. I tried to call a billion times USCIS and I got told my husband's case is outside of normal processing time (no ). But there's just nothing else to do but wait.

I started the process of the green card in January 2019. So it will almost be 4 years. Neither me, or my husband, have been able to travel back to our home country to see our family because of this process. I don't mind waiting a little longer but we're just left in the blur, without even a time frame. How long do we have to wait for his approval? There's literally nothing to do on our case, but approving it. How come this takes ages??!!

Nobody can answer your question, well those who work for USCIS and have control of the file could but they are not on this site.

In such situations, it's much faster to refile afresh.
