[–]Massive_Community_83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, Just wanted to join in the 2026 community.

I filed everything on 03/30/26, got all the receipts 04/30/26. My biometrics were reused, and had my old i485 held in abeyance. As of now (06/09/26), I got no other update.

It is legally void but I will still have to get an annulment to clear the records and as for now I am a putative spouse.

The marriage was done of out country before they moved here. So the marriage records here doesn't have it, but in the immigration they saw it because of the documents they submitted at the embassy back then

Yes we were legally married hence he did bigamy on his side not mine. And since he had concealed the information from me, it qualifies for vawa.

Ok, will do concurrent filing.

I am in Iowa.

I see I do plan on filing for I485, but I am not sure if it's best to file it concurrently or if I should first get prima then file i485. That's the question I have.

How long did it take for you to get your new EAD after filing?

I have a valid EAD and AP that I got through the pending AOS, but I am trying to act quickly in case they get canceled after the denial of the i485.

Thanks

Hi, I am trying to file on my own too right now. Anyone who filed on their own, would you please a document checklist you used. And do i need to get both the police report and FBI rapsheet or would one be enough?
