The same case will also apply to EB1 and every one else in the chain except our friends in EB2 India who had filed 485 before 2012 and do not require an interview. Hope this adds some clarity to my thought.Quote:

That was over 6 years ago, Obama did not even win his second term yet :)
That is indeed great news, when did you file your I-140/I-485 concurrently? Also, when was your FingerPrinting done? Can the interview be scheduled without the FAD being current?Quote:

My FO is Lawrence, Massachusetts. I am in EB3 and filed my AOS in Dec 2018.
My initial calulations were based on my colleague's case who had filed for AOS under EB1 in April 2017 had his interview in Dec 2018 at Lawrence, MA field office.
He is still waiting for his date to be current.
I'll keep this group updated if there is any movement in my case.
Yes I know for sure interviews are being scheduled even when FAD is not current, based on the 485 filing date and time slot availability in respective field offices.Quote:

Thanks. So any hopes of limited spillover for EB2-I is gone. CO conveniently does not tell anything about EB3-I, so it will likely keep moving ahead.Quote:

My PD is 2011 April and was for Senior software engineer and wants to take Engineering Manager with another employer who is willing to sponsor. Please let me know.
Below comment and unsaid things about EB3I are the only positive thing in the monthly check-in with charlie. Especially since Philippines is one of the country using more unused EB3 worldwide numbers. Hope EB3I moves to Dec 2009 at least by end of FY 2019....of course more movement is always better.
"The demand for EB-3 Philippines is low, which will continue to generate forward movement."

Since Eb2 won't get any spillover Looks like I'm finally ready to switch to EB3 (My PD EB2-I May 22,2009). I was on the fence last 2 weeks but I'm definitely doing it next week. This is just BS.Quote:

2) Does the I485 filing date supersede the earlier 2013 PD, and hence delay the GC for 2-3 years ?
I asked this question earlier, but did not see any answer may be it is too naive.Quote:

You cannot reuse the I140 .. you'll need a new Labor and I140. You can carry over the priority date assuming your current I140 has been pending for 6 months. Do check with Employer B's attorney to confirm.Quote:

Filings under EB2 is slowing down, which is a piece of good news to EB2I. Also in EB3, there is a steady increase in the volume, in the future not sure how this will impact.

The country quota is not category specific. So if Philippines uses 0 in EB2, they can use 5600 in EB3.Quote:

Will there be any complications if I don't submit medical during initial filing.?
@IamGSN:
I did not do my medical as our attorney advised to wait till interview is setup. Since the medicals are valid for 2 years, it is advised to wait till interview, but you can file wtih your I-485 as well, nothing wrong in doing that.
Hello Gurus, Need your valuable input. I am on EAD with 485 filled in 2012. If I want to switch the job, Do I need to file a Supplemental J 485 for job portability and get it approved by USCIS before starting my new Job ?. What would be the impact of cancelling/revoking my I-140 by the current employer before the J-485 is approved by USCIS?.
@waitingsoldier Thanks, it makes sense.
Folks check this out:

EB-3 India is marching ahead. There's already a case on trackitt that got interviewed this month with Aug,2009 PD. There are many folks that got interview scheduled with July,2009 PDs. These cases were filed after Oct 1,2018 and interview notices sent from NBC directly with interview scheduled in local FOs. The turnaround time is less than 6 months.
May bulletin will most likely have Aug 22,2009 as FAD for EB-3 India. I wont' be surprised if EB-3 India 2010 folks get interview scheduled in the final quarter of this FY. Good luck to everyone!
Good observation. It is definitely a pointer to the shape of things to come. I remember in 2015 the first time long suffering 2004 PD EB3I guys started getting RFE's and subsequently the trackitt thread was started and Dec 2004PD EB3I became current. DOS/USCIS were in a mad scramble to utilize the SO Visas. Looks like it could be a similar scenario this year for EB3I. If interview has been scheduled, then becoming current is only a matter of time and those folks can definitely hope to be greened in this FY itself.Quote:

I have an approved I140 for my EB1B application (PD: 05/27/2017) and my I485 has been pending for about two years (concurrent filing). As you would know, the FAD for EB1 India is currently stuck at Feb 22 2017. With Charlie Oppenheim almost suggesting that no forward movement can be expected over the next several months, I am exploring making a move using AC 21 & H1-B transfer as a fall back. I am expecting to receive an exciting offer from a startup in the bay area, who have been very accommodating and willing to carry forward my EB1 GC. For this, I believe we will need to do an I485-J. My questions are:
a) Do you think I am risking my GC by attempting to move while being close to getting current? Is the next movement in EB1 I only expected to happen in the new FY? Are there any spillovers anticipated?
b) Should the I485-J be approved before I can expect my I485's adjudication? The future employer's lawyer gave me conflicting information regarding this. However, she thinks that the I 485-J can take 4-6 months for approval. So, I am worried that, if by the time my date becomes current, what would happen to my I 485 if my I485-J is still pending? I don't want to risk losing the opportunity of getting the GC the next time my date becomes current, since it is possible that the dates might retrogress/the quota is reached before they clear my I485-J.
While, the offer and the prospects at the new job look great, I don't want to risk my green card application and lose more time, having put in 2+ years into the process. Any advises and suggestions would be much appreciated!
Best,
Katana
