GreenLight is a free USCIS immigration case tracker built for green card (I-485) applicants, F-1 OPT, STEM extension, and H-1B cases. Decode your status, track your timeline, and get alerts when anything changes.

Adjustment of status involves I-485, often I-765 and I-131 alongside, and sometimes an interview. We decode every step.

What this means

USCIS scheduled an adjustment-of-status interview. The appointment notice provides the date, time, location, and documents to bring.

What comes next

Attend with the documents listed in the notice. An interview creates no universal same-day or post-interview decision timeline.

Community average

Interview and decision timing varies

Not legal advice. Always verify at uscis.gov or consult a licensed immigration attorney.

Pricing

The price of peace of mind.

H-1B and green-card waits can stretch 8–24+ months. For those, Life of Case is the better deal. OPT and STEM cases are usually faster. Monthly may be the right fit.
