I-485 petition review FAQ
- What is an I-485 review?
- An I-485 review is a paid review of your Adjustment of Status package by an independent licensed immigration attorney. You prepare the forms and supporting documents yourself in QuickFiling with Dr. I-485; the attorney then checks the full package, sends written comments on errors, inconsistencies, and missing documents, and discusses them with you in a 15-minute consultation. You then file the package yourself.
- How much does I-485 review cost?
- I-485 review costs $400 for one applicant or $600 for two applicants filing together, such as a principal applicant and spouse. This is a one-time flat fee, separate from the Dr. I-485 package download ($299) and from USCIS filing fees, which you pay directly to USCIS.
- How long does the I-485 review take?
- About one week from when the attorney receives your completed package, including the written comments and the scheduling of the 15-minute consultation.
- Does the I-485 review cover I-765 and I-131 too?
- Yes. The review covers the whole Adjustment of Status package prepared in QuickFiling, including concurrent I-765 (employment authorization) and I-131 (advance parole) applications and the supporting documents for each.
- Can I get an I-485 review if I did not prepare my package in QuickFiling?
- No. Petition Review is only available for packages prepared in the QuickFiling workspace. Starting an I-485 package in QuickFiling is free.
- Does the attorney sign or represent my I-485 case?
- No. I-485 review is review only — the attorney does not sign Form G-28 and does not represent you before USCIS. If you want an attorney to lead and sign your case, QuickFiling offers an Attorney-Led Petition Service for I-485 at $2,500.
