Recommended Approvals
When to
Perform
Once an I-485 application has been adjudicated, and the adjudicator deems it
ready for approval, the adjudicator should follow the Recommended
Approvals process.
Description If an adjudicator finds that the I-485 application is ready for approval, he/she
indicates that the case is "Recommended for Approval" and sends a sheet to
INS clerical or the contractor requesting a visa. INS clerical or the contractor
contacts the Department of State (DOS) to verify that a visa is currently
available. Once DOS verifies that a visa is available the clerk will route the
case back to the adjudicator. The adjudicator will approve the case and send
it back to INS clerical or the contractor for card production activities. (If the
adjudicating officer faxes the visa request to DOS directly, the file will be
routed to INS clerical or the contractor for card production activities after
he/she has approved the case.)
Procedure Complete the following steps to determine if the visa is available.
Step Action: INS/Contractor
1 Receive the files for visa requests.
2 Fax or email the list of all visa requests to the Department of State.
3 Once responses are returned, copy the list and return it along with
the files to the appropriate adjudicator.
4 Once approved and returned from the adjudicator, RAFACS and
forward the files back to the adjudicator.
