Common Questions
The information below is general and not legal advice. For advice on your specific situation, consult a licensed attorney.
How do courts evaluate whether a delay is unreasonable?
Courts consider many factors when evaluating delay, including USCIS's published processing times, the filer's receipt date, prior inquiries, hardship, and case history (often analyzed under the TRAC factors). BoostMyCase does not determine whether your delay is legally unreasonable — that decision is yours, and you may consult a licensed attorney before filing.
Will pursuing this affect my green card application?
Outcomes vary based on individual circumstances. We do not predict effects on your case — consult an attorney for legal advice.
What if I have dependents on my I-485?
Our software supports including a spouse and children derivatives in the same packet.
