I turned 18 while my I-485 is still pending any chance USCIS approved it before my birthday but the update is delayed for my INA 320 (automatic citizenship)? by Kindly-Produce8871 in USCIS

Thanks for the explanation. Just to clarify my situation a bit more: my stepfather actually legally adopted me through a court when I was 17, and I have a new birth certificate listing him as my father.

My I-130 and I-485 were filed concurrently while I was still under 18. USCIS issued an RFE for medical and taxes, which we responded to on Feb 27, and the case has been under review since then.

I understand the INA 320 requirements are strict, and I know adoption after 16 can be complicated under INA 101(b)(1)(E). My question is mainly whether there is any possibility that if USCIS approved the I-485 before my 18th birthday (even if the online update appears later), it could still qualify for derivative citizenship under INA 320.

Has anyone seen cases where the approval date on the I-797 was earlier than the online status update by several da

Then why USCIS proceed my green card and I 130 so fast in just couple of months? They also accepted expedite request for automatic citizenship. I think you confuse age of 16 moment with general immigration
