I filed I-730 application in November 2017 for my wife, who is an asylee. In May 2018 my employer filed my I-485 and I did biometrics that year as well. I have not received anything from USCIS yet on either case. Until now, I have received my EAD and advance parole from my I-485. I have already filed a service request, called USCIS and visited a USCIS office through InfoPass. No one is giving me a definite answer on this. What should I do?

Find the Best EB5 Visa LawyersEmployment-based AOS files are taking one to four years to be processed. So yeah, they're probably still working on it.

Find the Best EB5 Visa LawyersYour question is "whether your filing of an I-730 is affecting your I-485 application"? Yet you also state that USCIS is acting on your I-485 by having granted your EAD and advance parole. So, really what is your question? I have a question: Are you an asylee? Otherwise I am quite puzzled on how you qualified to file an I-730 for your wife. If she is an asylee, then she did not need your I-730. This is quite confusing. You should consult privately with an immigration attorney. Besides, I do not see the connection to EB-5 visas.

Find the Best EB5 Visa LawyersYes, you can expect USCIS top look at your entire case file. However your I-485 is not past due. There is, however, nothing wrong with applying under both as refugee following to join and employment adjustment.

Find the Best EB5 Visa LawyersGiven the fact that you have already filed your application for adjustment of status, based upon your employer's petition and almost a year passed, you can follow up by making an InfoPass appointment, or your attorney or you can ask your local congressional representative or U.S. senator to make an inquiry. The No. 1 inquiry is the processing time for applications for adjustment of status in the district where you reside, as it may well be that they're taking more than a year to adjudicate. You would not want to pursue any alternatives if your waiting period is within the normal waiting period range.

Find the Best EB5 Visa LawyersUSCIS can take a long time to respond. You can have an attorney take up the case and speak with a supervising officer at USCIS, but you might just need to be patient. I-485s can easily take up to one year.
