My I-485 approved but waiting for wifes' approval

[Theja]

As i stated below, mine was approved on 02/13/2004, but still I am waiting for my wife's I-485 approval. I don't know why both are not approved together? any body faced this kind of situations in past ?


appreciate your reply....

from past discussions, I've narrowed it down to 3 areas (where spouses I485 were approved later):

1. Marriage right before (ie. 6 months) filing an I485
2. Different filing dates
3. USCIS ranomness - notice that there often no rhyme or reason to their work. Previous posters have mentioned that even fingerprints were scheduled on different dates for spouses despite fiing the applications together.

So, your case may be normal (unless of course you were the dependant).

Anyone else have ideas?

Does your wife has her own non-immigration status, like H1?
My friend had similar situation. Primary got approved in January
but dependant has not been approved yet. They have married
for many years and filed the application together.
I knew another case, the dependant also had H1 and she got approved 1~2 month later than the primary. I am not sure if
it's related to the dependant's previous status. Like Sadiq said,
it may only be USCIS ranomness.

Hope it helps. Good luck!
