I-485 submitted specific operating procedures.

The fluency of I-485 is roughly as follows:

When the visa of the main applicant becomes current, you can submit the 485 visa. Generally, two forms will be submitted together with 485, namely I-765 and I- 13 1. The purpose of these two forms is to obtain temporary work permits (also known as work cards or EAD) and travel documents (early departure exemption or AP) for 485 applicants under review and approval. Please note that EAD and AP will make a red card and show it to the applicant. Applicants can't work or leave the United States until they get this red card. If you leave, the Immigration Bureau will consider that the applicant voluntarily gave up the 485 application. EAD/AP will be approved within 90 days at most.

The documents required for the 485 visa can be photocopies (different from the interview in Guangling). The general list of documents is: 526 approved copies; Visa photos (generally 6 local photos of the guests are required and attached to the application); Copy of passport; Copies of identification documents in the United States, such as I-94 and I-20; If you have other immigration documents in the United States, you need to submit them all; Copy of birth certificate; Also, you should get the medical report from the doctor appointed by the Immigration Bureau (enter the postcode of your residence address in the United States on the website of the Immigration Bureau in https://my.uscis.gov/findadoctor., and you can find the list and information of doctors nearby. After the medical examination, the doctor will give you a sealed envelope with the medical report inside. Don't open it, just submit it to the immigration office according to the 485 application); If you have criminal and trial records in the United States, even if the case has been solved later, you should ask the responsible district court for a backup and attach it to the 485 application.

Within 2-4 weeks after the 485 is submitted, you will receive an appointment notice from the Immigration Bureau to collect fingerprints at the designated place. The date and time are arranged randomly, and the location is the nearest pick-up point according to your residential address declared on 485. Just click on the time, bring your passport and appointment notice, and enter your fingerprint (if you need to change the place and time, you can, but you must inform the immigration office in advance)

Then in the next 2-3 months, the applicant's 765 and 13 1 will be approved, if nothing unexpected happens. Just waiting for the EAD/AP card to come to the door If you don't have a social security number, take this card and passport to the local social security bureau office to apply for a number. Remember, AP can let you leave the United States briefly before entering the country during the 485 approval period, but don't abuse it. AP is not a certificate that can guarantee that you will definitely enter the country.

After an average of 2-4 months, 485 will be approved, just wait for the green card to be sent home (the start date of the green card is the day when 485 is approved, remember to push back 1 year for 9 months on the calendar and set a reminder, that is the day when you need to submit 829).
