U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) sometimes approves a Form I-485 (Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status) for a principal applicant, but the derivative family members’ (spouse or minor children) I-485 applications remain pending. While in some cases this may be due to missing evidence, security clearance difficulties, or some other legitimate reason, the file may just be separated from the principal’s, the USCIS ombudsman noted recently.
If a family member’s derivative adjustment of status application has been pending in excess of 30 days from the approval date of the principal applicant’s I-485, the ombudsman asks that the following be e-mailed to cisombudsman.publicaffairs@dhs.gov:
The subject line of the e-mail should include: “Unapproved Derivative I-485.”
The ombudsman said it will look into such cases “and review how we may be of assistance.”
