I-130/485/765 at Lees Summit MO. Waiting too long

[Bengalita 13]

Hey guys. 
2 of my friends have i485's (concurrent filing) with Lees Summit MO

Both are from July and August 2023.  
Work permits have been issued; no problem there. 

But does anyone have any idea when an interview may be scheduled? 
One case is child-to-parent (visa overstay) and the other case is spousal (border-crossing overstay) 
Thanks!

varies by office

 

what is a border crossing overstay

Current Processing times are listed on the USCIS Processing Times website.

 

I485 goes by LFO not SC so you'll need to look their LFO up on the Field office locator website if you don't know it already as it goes by Zipcode not city.

Post moved to bringing family members of US citizens forum as neither of these cases are a K1 AOS where you have posted it.

 

That is....presuming the petitioner is a USC as you haven't indicated that either......

[Bengalita 13]

I’m sorry. Yes, both petitioners are USC’s. One of the zip codes is 77520 and the other is 28715. I did not know i485’s go by local field offices. Makes total sense. Thanks for educating me on that.

So the Houston one is 23 months processing time, and the Charlotte one is 19.5 months, according to the USCIS processing times page. 

 

So both are still well within standard processing times if they only applied in the summer of last year. 

 

As Boiler asked, what's a 'border crossing overstay' - do you mean that they crossed the Mexican border (legally and inspected)?

[Bengalita 13]

Yes, Appleblossom, that is correct about the border Crossing permit

Border Crossing Card I assume

I appreciate you taking the time to look up Houston and Charlotte, and clarifying how this works.  Now I know that I485's should be looked up according to the local field office in which the interview would take place. Next time I know.  Thanks for the clarification.

Yes, the border crossing overstay is when someone crossed into USA with a border crossing card (it's a limited visa) and overstayed their time just like they would if they entered with a visa.   Border crossing cards are given to Mexicans who live in border states of Mexico and they're only allowed to cross over to a certain limit in the bordering US state... and only for tourist purposes.

You didn’t mention the card originally, and ‘border crossing’ could mean crossing it legally or illegally - that’s what we were trying to clarify as it makes a big difference.
