Gurus...
need advice on what to do..
I have EB2 with June 2008 PD. Most likely based on discussions in this forum it is not coming through for another year..Filed 485 in January 2012 got RFE in July have not heard back since then..so safe to assume preadj..
Wife has EB2 with with Oct 2006 PD. which came through after 485 was filed through my case..
My questions are...
Should we interfile (if that is the right term for such switch)..basically making primary as dependent and vice versa..is that even allowed..
How should we do it?? What documents to send?? Where?? How much time does it take??
Any advice would be great..
Good to hear it. I couldn't beleive myself seeing it in Trackitt.Quote:

We applied I-485 for myself and my wife in Aug 2007 with my I-140(EB3-I, Dec 2004). Since then my wife's company did her I-140(EB2-I, Jun 2007).
Her date got current in Nov 2011. We called USCIS and asked if we could change the I-140 basis of the I-485 applications to my wife's I-140 in the EB2 category. I got an extremely helpful Level2 officer on the phone and he confirmed that we could do it by just sending an interfile request with all appropriate documentary evidence and a current EVL from my wife's employer.
Once we did that , we received a confirmation that they have received our request but it was not clear whether they "accepted" it. So we raised SR in Apr 2012. They responded in May 2012 that they have filed the letter in our files but just then EB2-I dates were retrogessed.
We plan to call them in August as soon as the dates are current to check on the status. Maybe we will plan to go to congressman/senator's office etc.
In your case both the PD dates are in the same EB preference but 2 years could save you some time. Please consult your attorney for more advice because we did (on Lawbench) and we got conflicting responses. Some attorneys recommended to file new I-485s with the new I-140. We ended up going with what the L2 officer told us. In either case I wanted to share that a L2 officer told us that it is possible and that we could do it using an interfile request ; however we have not seen any results so far :-(
A big THANK YOU to all the posters on this forum , especially Spec, Q, other individuals who are very helpful and have reduced the anxiety around this process. I have been lurking for some time now but this is my first post.
Cheers !!

Thanks for the response ampradni..this really helps..my only concern is the time they take for such requests..I hope they reply within 2 months before oct 1st when dates will retrogress...crossing our fingers..if possible can you share the list of documents you submitted..
Looks like you will definitely be green in this current wave..
Thanks again

Indeed it is quiet. Usually we see some good quick wit messages from Indiani :-) . Get ready for a nailbiting few weeks in Aug starting in a week. I keep checking this forum almost every hour to see anything new. Good luck to all who are current in Aug bulletin.Quote:

Probabilities of EB-2I cut-off date in September bulletin as of 7/25/2013. This is the impression I am getting from predictions made so far.:
Stays at Jan 1, 08 - 10%
Feb 1, 08 - 10%
Mar 1, 08 - 30%
Apr 1, 08 - 10%
May 1, 08 - 10%
June 1, 08 - 10%
July 1, 08 - 10%
Same as China Aug 8, 08 - 10%
Dec 31, 08 - 0%
Looks like one of the Trackitt users already received their GC today!
http://www.trackitt.com/usa-discussi...ent-yet/page/3
Good luck to those who are current in August!
Probability percentage will be.:
Stays at Jan 1, 08 - 100%
Feb 1, 08 - 90%
Mar 1, 08 - 60%
Apr 1, 08 - 50%
May 1, 08 - 40%
June 1, 08 - 30%
July 1, 08 - 20%
Same as China Aug 8, 08 - 10%

He can always internally retrogress COD in Sept as it was done in 2012.
From my perspective we may see movement of dates in range of May 08 to Aug 08 for SOFAD availability of 18K.
well as everyone is just waiting for the approvals to seep in and them flow , I didn't have much to add.Quote:

only news for today as someone else already posted: someone received the GC in mail today on trackitt
Moved all the "Lawyer delays and employer exploitation" discussion in its own thread so that this thread keeps focused on calculations / predictions.

Have been a silent reader on this thread. Thanks to all the Guru's to have such an informative forum.
I hate to ask specific Predictions but have a major decision to make around house, would appreciate your help.
Have been in US for 10 years. My PD is June 2010. By when do you think I should be able to file I-485, so I can get EAD. My wife will also be able to work then. Need to figure out this before we decide to buy house. Please help to advice.

So unless there are a large number of unresolved RFEs, it will be fairly safe to move it only slightly ahead of available SOFAD.
sk - welcome to forum. The date being current is rather erratic. But I would say - worst case for you should be 4 years from now. Best case could be Sep 2014. Good luck with your decision regardless. Home ownership is a wonderful feeling and luckily anybody can buy a home in US as long as you have benjamin.

Or am I reading too much into this?
