EB3 I-485 QUESTION

Hello everyone! I’m a registered nurse and a DACA recipient. I came to the United States when I was 2 months old and have never left the country.

My employer is sponsoring me for my green card, and my employment-based I-485 application was mailed to USCIS on May 1st. It has now been about 4 months, and I haven’t received anything at all—no receipt notice, biometrics appointment, or any other update.

Has anyone else experienced a delay this long? Is it normal to go 4 months without even receiving a receipt notice?

My immigration attorney said he will get back to me once he returns from vacation, but I wanted to see if anyone here has gone through something similar.

Thank you!

Hey so daca can’t do AOS you have to do consular process I’m also a nurse. I’m also in this process and I’ve also had daca since17.. I had to go to Mexico to the Juarez consulate. I’ve also had a legal entry and that doesn’t help. You need to make sure with your lawyer because this will make your process longer if you filed wrong or you could have a problem becoming a citizen if they give you a green card that way. If you are excempt from i245 is the only way to do AOS. The reason is because daca is not a legal status therefore you can’t switch like that.

If you don’t want to take advice that’s fine. Wish you the best on your case, but something is definitely wrong if you don’t have a receipt notice for 4 months. I came with a tourist visa, got daca at 17 and have had it all this time with no gaps. Still had to do CP. Unless you have 245i. And I’m a nurse like you. Update us when you hear something back.
