Any thoughts?
I have H1B so I do not not need EAD at present.
Other question
My Company is also asking me to downgrade and apply in eb3- AOS( Note- I am also doing AOS with my spouse). Is it advisable for me to downgrade and apply AOS too( my PD is dec 2014) or should I hold off?
Can any one person have two AOS from two different companies ?
The chances of any meaningful deal between the Speaker and Sec.Mnuchin are quite bleak as they are very far apart in many issues.The House held off voting last evening to give them one more day to negotiate but it appears like they will go ahead and vote on the HEROES 2 today.Needless to say it will be ignored by the GOP senate
In your case in current scenario not filing EAD is best option... you might cut some processing time get GC faster.Quote:

Supposedly FAD does not become current and we r stuck.
Folks,
Just found out from my colleague that if the registration on the Birth Certificate is later than 365 days of birth then an affidavit is required from the Parents. I need to get this done for my spouse, just wondering if anyone has idea of whether the name of my spouse and her mother should be Maiden or After Marriage.
and even if it passes I'm very pessimisstic about the immigration provisions passing senate as it is. They probably will pass a slimmed down version and force a reconciliation back with the house. Worst case. Even the Senate taking this bill up is extremely unlikely.Quote:

Please Advise : I have approved I-140 in both EB2 and EB3 category-priority date of AUG 2010 and both are with same employer -as per new visa bulletin my priority date is current for both categories - Now, Please advise which category to file I-485 ?
Absolutely correct. Get your 485 done ASAP. If for any reason you have problems with AP and EAD ... don't worry a thing. You can file them anytime.Quote:

It's all depends on USCIS ability to issue 261,500 GCs by Sep2021.. if they really want to do that then they will not retrogress the dates till Sep..they will move FAD rapidly and match with FD by Sep..Quote:

The bulletin was so confusing, they talk abt 260K visas, but practically 2 months movement in the FAD for EB2 and EB3. Is there any way that EB2 FD can come any close to 2014 this fiscal year? Is what I am planning to do correct, in the current circumstances. Or rapid movement may mean couple of years of movement in EB2. Have been doing a lot of math with pending visa numbers, I140s etc, but honestly nothing makes complete sense .. Please help!
I would go for EB3.Quote:

or.
Fill 3 members here and 4th one in "Part 9. Additional Information".
I don't think EB2I 2014 FAD will current in anytime near future... EB3I FADs can go beyond 2015 in this FY by Sep. If you have a clean case you might even get GC this year in EB3IQuote:

As more people port to EB3I it will slow and clog. DOS talks to USCIS to make sure that it has capacity to process GCs. That is one of the reasons why you will see less movement for "FA" dates. Hope this helps.Quote:

I think they are again going to release Nov bulletin as late as possible, not to antagonize us, but to find out how many people are going to file under the different classifications per the new filing dates. Simple math for EB2I suggests that if they want to reach 15 May 2011 from Sep 09, they just move it 2-3 months every bulletin to manage the flow of applications better. That's why I am really surprised about them moving EB3 to 2015. No question, it's a boon to all those waiting years, but it will once again severely muddy the waters because of the mass downgrades.
Apply ead ap in October 2020, if both are approved after 7-8 months. What would be validity of both end and ap.?Quote:

Thank you in advance

If you see one indicator of I-140 approvals in 2020 FY it has been dropped to 2009 levels in 2020 FY. This will convert into less demand for ROW in 2021 FY. So in net effect in 2021 FY Indians will get at least 150K visas(it can be even more). In all of my responses the basis is this: Indians will get a total of 150K EB visas in FY21 provided USCIS has to commit to allocate 261,500 visas in FY21. To arrive at this conclusion there is not much calculations are needed. Also, I don't consider that these downgrades will create a tectonic shift of demand from EB2I to EB3I. Even if it happens in a significant portion the supply is huge and that will evens out somehow.Quote:

If anyone need more latest data on the stats check this link: https://www.uscis.gov/tools/reports-...tizenship-data
If they move the FA dates 2-3 months for every bulletin through January as they indicated, that would be a good outcome. Beyond that, I guess it will depend on the applications that they receive in the first quarter.
I just read but instructions on page 4 for Part 2 Item 1 says that any child under 21 residing with you is considered part of household. So looks like childs have to be reported there. Doesnt make sense to me but this is what they seems to expect.Quote:

Hi Friends, I am EB2 Jun 2011 . My attorney is suggesting to wait for the Nov Bulletin and apply in EB2 if the dates move forward, and if not then downgrade to EB3 before Oct 31. Do you think it is a wise strategy ?
My wife's employer has 30 people who became current and filing I-485s for them and their families. The HR mentioned they're focused on filing I-485 right now and so will not be filing I-485j along with the application and will submit that when the RFE comes and mention this is their standard practice.....anyone come across that?

My company attorney team says they are planning to file Adjustment of status end of October, this is crazy and I am done with all our action items from our end, it takes a month to prepare the application? I am considering to file myself, any thoughts?
Anyone planning so or should I look for a different attorney.
Yes, Many attorneys now a days file only I 485 and not even working on EAD/AP. They say will do that later in a month or twoQuote:

Thanks for your posts. I hope you under my only intention is to keep things as real as possible without too much pessimism or optimism.

Thankyou guru
This is very important. Spread the message.
Unlike labor and I-140 - which are sponsor applications i.e. a company has to file them; 485, EAD, and AP are YOUR applications. You don't need company to do it at all. You can do it on your own or find a lawyer who will do it for you.
- USCIS has added 485J that the company needs to fill out. But rest is upto you.
