Confused... Got green card 2 years ago but I-130 is still pending
Hi,
I've adjusted based on my marriage to a US citizen and got my conditional residence approved two years ago. I've just filed I-751 to remove the conditions on my residence a few weeks ago (already got my 1 year extension letter, bio appointment early september).
I've just logged in to my Case Status Online portfolio on the USCIS website, checked my old cases, and saw the following:
I751 (Removal of conditions) = Received, pending (normal)
I485 (Application To Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status) = Approved in 2005, green card received in 2005 after interview
I130 (Petition for Alien Relative) = Received in 2004, still pending, case was updated last week though
I'm really confused. How could my I485 be approved and my I130 still pending? Do I have reason to worry?
I'm from Arizona and filed with CSC.

Nothing to worry about.

Yah... that's for sure!
Yuppers... that's exactly right! One day I'll log on and hopefully my AOS will show as being approved. When that happens, I think all things in my universe will align and all will be well with the world.

There is one poster on here, Ian, who has been a USC for years now, and his online status still shows pending approval of his AOS.

Wow, amazing. DH has been a USC since 2003 and we (he or I) have never gone in to check is status online with the USCIS. Whatever is the point of checking if you are finished.
Hey, Ian, I rather doubt that as you and Jim were both adjusted in the olden days before USCIS attempted to computerize their process for the viewing public.

No. If you adjusted while originally entering the US as a visitor, then the I-130 was adjudicated at the time the I-485 was and USCIS would only have updated the I-485. If you adjusted from a K-3, then again it would not show that the I-130 was approved because again the same scenario as with the visitor and adjustment. If you adjusted from a K-1, you never filed an I-130.
