Want to provide an update regarding RFE. My 485J is approved. I and my wife received RFE for medical n biographic sheet.
Hi Umesh,
1. when did you last submit your medicals .
2. When you file the Supplement J , do you get a formal letter saying its approved ?
3. Which Service center is your application and the Priority date
For RFEs there is no acknowledgement I understand for Supplement J and Medicals.
Can you plz share more info ,
Once you file for extension before expiry, your EAD is automatically extended for 180 days -

Thanks Paramjit. I had read that but some of the employers create a fuss about it . While they might still be OK (requires you to talk to HR and get an exemption), getting a refi on your home or getting any loan with an expired EAD or nearly expiring EAD is next to impossible .
Here is what it says on my case status online:
On October XX, 2018, we received your response to our Request for Evidence for your Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, Receipt Number LINXXXXXX.

Jan visa bulletin out
Disappointing, as usual
Very disappointing Jan bulletin, not sure why the SO from FB is not being applied yet :-(. Looks like a very deliberated efforts are being made to slow down GC approvals. Without pending inventory being published it will be same way like 1 or 2 days movement per bulletin for this FY
FAD for EB3 WW is Current while DF for EB3 is 1 Jan 2019. Can someone explain why that's the case? It doesn't make sense to me.
Looks like EB3I will be moving three weeks per month in future bulletins. EB2 / EB3 ROW are all current.
EMPLOYMENT-based categories (potential monthly movement)
Employment First:
WORLDWIDE: Rapid forward movement expected, potentially becoming Current
China: Up to three weeks
India: Little if any forward movement is expected
Employment Second:
Worldwide: A date will most likely be imposed at some point during the second half of the fiscal year
China: Up to one month
India: Up to one week
Employment Third:
Worldwide: A date will most likely be imposed no later than March
China: Up to six weeks
India: Up to three weeks
Mexico: Will remain at the Worldwide date
Philippines: Up to one month
I may be wrong but it says it in coming months not per month. They used the same language in October bulletin for EB2 I and it moved 1 week in last quarter ( 1 day, 3 days and then 3 days for Jan 2020 bulletin). So I guess they are predicting that each of these category movement for coming quarter. That’s what I’m gathering from their message.
what is the reason for EB3-India to move upto 3 weeks next month, but not this month? Is the prediction just based on usage of yearly visa allocation since there is no spillover ?

Q, Spec - Insights?
If I understand correctly from the link ;
These many people have filed I-485 and waiting for approval:
EB2 - India 15,651 (Prior to July 1st 2009)
EB3 - India 20,751 (Feb 1st 2010)
It doesn't reflect correct numbers for EB3 if there were not much people prior to Jun 2009. And this figure doesn't include consular processing numbers. Scary... big backlog with no spillover
My quick reaction is:
1) These are just the CP numbers .... i.e. people who file for GC outside United States (99.99% in their own home country).
2) The CP numbers are growing at 5% per year when the GC quota has been stationary for years. That is quite telling.
3) The EB1 and EB5 categories have come under tremendous stress. Even Indians are significantly filing in EB5. EB1 is already heavily dominated by Indians. The chinese are doing terrible in EB5 because the last I remember they were pretty much banned under EB5. I haven't quite followed if that is still true.
4) Across the board ROW numbers too are increasing ... partly due to a healthy US economy.
5) Last and most important EB2 and EB3 India numbers are increasing as people are forced to go back to India as well as choosing to go back to India while the employers are willing to keep sponsoring.
Hope this helps.
Something is really amiss. EB2 India 15K, EB3 India 20K, and EB1 India only 1282.
If it's just before Nov 1,2019 PDs, it's unbelievable to see 15K EB2 are still pending before May,2009 and 20K EB3 are pending before Jan 1,2009. If so, why the dates are even in 2009?
If it's only the filed applications, in which EB2 till May 1,2010 and EB3 till Apr 1,2010, then it short of makes some sense. Then, EB1 India filed applications can't be 1282 as mentioned in the report. CO himself told a couple of months ago that EB1 has about 17K applications pending.
Things don't add up as is. I don't know how to interpret these numbers.
Can you travel on AP after your priority date becomes current? My lawyer recommends against that. In the event your GC is approved while you are away, the lawyer said you may be denied re-entry. Is that true? One of my friend was in a similar situation 5 years ago and she re-entered on AP after GC approval. Is this a recent change? do any of you have personal experience?
Thanks
