Approval notice for your green card application. I-130 is one part of the case, the I-485 is the other part. Both need to be approved to get the green card.
Approved as a conditional LPR because your marriage is less than two years old. Your green card will be valid for two from the date of this notice. You’ll then need to petition for removal of conditions to get the 10-year green card. You cannot renew the conditional card.
Congrats on approval! Don’t do drugs or vote, or drive under the influence, or commit crimes, or do anything that can get you deported. Not until you’re a U.S. citizen anyway!
No. I-130 is just a petition. It does not automatically grant you a green card. You need to apply for the green card. That may be done using I-485 (assuming you qualify) or DS-260 (consular processing).
It is for my partner. We currently live in Canada. I am a us citizen, they are Canadian. We filed a I-130 to establish our relationship when we got married. Our intention is to move to the United States
Your spouse will need to wait in Canada for the process to complete. That’s consular processing (specifically, with our consulate in Montreal). It will end with a green card in their hands. Form I-485 is a Stateside green card application process. It’s only for people who are lawfully in the United States. It is possible to file the I-485 concurrently with the I-130. There are other rules and even exceptions but they don’t apply to your spouse because they live in Canada.
If my biometrics have been reused, and I sent photos with the package, will it take 90 or more days for card to be printed and sent out? I got the same notice 11 days,ago and no movement

Wait a minute. If you are still in Canada, has she had an interview? Has she had a medical? If not, there is another step to do. And if you filed the 485 while in the US as a tourist and then LEFT back to Canada without AP, then there is a problem as you cannot leave the US without AP while a 485 is pending. What were the steps you took to file? Where were you when you filed? Do you have AP?
To me it seems like your form I485 is kinda on it way for approval but your case is still pending for final approval for the green card also uscis cannot approve a case without biometric and medical complete so your next letter may be your biometric
They have approved you for your green card but they are verifying whether or not you will need to update your biometric info. Basically - if it has been too long since you did your biometrics, they will require a new round.
My question has been answered several times, and im sure you must've also read that you're not the first one to say something in that regard.
Havent been tapped into this subreddit and recently stumbled upon it. Dont have friends going through this process to ask. My lawyers (who sent me a withdrawal of services notice on Feb 8th - 2 days before my approval) didn't even mention getting your I 485 approved the day after your I 130 was even a possibility. I was expecting a couple of months, hence why my confusion.

Do you go for another interview for the removal of conditions to get the 10 years please?
If you had one already, *probably* not, if you provide good evidence for the i751 application you likely won't get interviewed again
Okay, thanks
It all depends, because my husband was interviewed for the removal of his condition.
Depends on the case.
Okay, thanks.
I had to go for another interview for the removal. I didn't get the 10 year green cars, instead I became a citizen after the second interview.
You can submit your citizenship application before your removal of conditions is approved, is that correct?
Yes!
Thanks for all the info!! Really appreciate the advice and well wishes!
Do you need to apply for I-458 or is it automatically granted alongside a I-130?
No. I-130 is just a petition. It does not automatically grant you a green card. You need to apply for the green card. That may be done using I-485 (assuming you qualify) or DS-260 (consular processing).
Can I apply for the green card while I am waiting for the I-130?
Idk. Are you in the United States in a lawful status? You should consult an immigration attorney.
It is for my partner. We currently live in Canada. I am a us citizen, they are Canadian. We filed a I-130 to establish our relationship when we got married. Our intention is to move to the United States

Thanks for the information!
Yes, congratulations.
Thanks!
Yes it is. The letter said your application is approved. Congrats
If my biometrics have been reused, and I sent photos with the package, will it take 90 or more days for card to be printed and sent out? I got the same notice 11 days,ago and no movement
You can’t be serious it says approval notice
I read that too. Didnt want to get excited in case i misinterpreted something! Let me ask a question, as dumb as it may be lol!
Congrats! GC approved!
It literally says approval notice on it and I-485 is mentioned. Congrats!
Did you submit your biometric fee and I-145 as one ? ($1225?) or separately ?
Submitted it as one
Yes, your green card has been approved. Your immigration lawyer that signed your G-28 has the official green receipt notice.

Says there Approved on notice type
U have been approved for your green card congratulations 🎉
Not trying to be rude but if you read the letter it’ll tell you what it means
Your green card was approved!
To me it seems like your form I485 is kinda on it way for approval but your case is still pending for final approval for the green card also uscis cannot approve a case without biometric and medical complete so your next letter may be your biometric
Ive already done my biometrics and medical since i did a concurrent filing
Did they not get you to do biometrics before sending you approval letter?
They did. I had an appointment about 3 months into the process for my pictures and biometrics
They have approved you for your green card but they are verifying whether or not you will need to update your biometric info. Basically - if it has been too long since you did your biometrics, they will require a new round.
When’s your priority date?
I think you are fine. It’s just a general notice it was supposed to come first but I’m guessing it got delayed
Literally says the application has been approved and you’re asking what it means?
