Removal Proceedings I-130 and I-485
Hello,
I have been in removal proceedings since fall 2008 and just had my I-130 approved (married to USC for almost 2 years). I have my master hearing coming up in February and was wondering if any one knows what happens at those hearings? My lawyer is preparing the I-485 form to submit at the time of the hearing. However, she also said that there will be another hearing called individual hearing? Has any one had the same situation as me? I trust this lawyer, but wanted to hear some stories and maybe learn something
Thank you.

Read the items linked at the bottom the above webpage. Everyone usually starts with a Master Hearing where individual hearings are scheduled, motions and applications are filed. They have specific procedures that your lawyer is following. You will end up dealing with USCIS to get the required background check. Take it one step at a time.
this is very helpful, thank you
Why is your stupid lawyer waiting until the hearing date? If the I-130 is already approved, just go ahead and make an infopass appt to pay the 485 fee, then take the receipt, I-130 approval notice and file the 485 with the court. Judge will then probably make a decision on the day of your hearing.
