In this short, attorney Lorena Rivas answers a viewer’s question about how long the I‑485 (adjustment of status) will take after an I‑130 petition for marriage was approved 42 days ago. She explains that because the petitioner is a U.S. permanent resident (not a citizen), the spouse’s visa is not immediately available. The applicant must wait for a visa number to become current according to the monthly Visa Bulletin, and the wait time also depends on the applicant’s country of chargeability. Rivas advises the viewer to consult the Visa Bulletin each month to see when a visa becomes available for the “spouse of a permanent resident” category.
