Why an arbitrary date 1/1/2012? Does it cover your PD? Just curious.Quote:

Green card or Green bars under your name....take your pick.Quote:

We all can have our own wish list. It does not mean it has to happen. If you wish let us have the date 01/01/21. The point I am making is to have filing date till the end of a calendar year.Quote:

Hello Guys,
New Here. Got to this forum via search engine (don't ask me which one :)
In the same boat as many of you, if not all. EB2I, PD is in Dec 2012, with a lot of speculations around the spillovers, any predictions/hope when PD could go all the way up to Dec '12.?
Thanks,
hooray!! The optimist in me says just 3 more months before my PD is current.. the pessimist tells me that last time my PD was current was 8 years ago :-DQuote:

Hi Gurus,
My PD became current 06/15/2009 in this bulletin. the RFE with medicals was responded 10/2018 so medicals should be valid for 2 years.
do you guys recommend waiting till Jul 1 when my PD becomes effective to take inquiry actions like Infopass or Level 2 officer?
I guess you intended to say mid 2010 or April 2010 to be specific.Quote:

Filing dates did move! However, they will be relevant starting next fiscal year as that is when they are expected to accept them. There will be some additional movement in the next 2 bulletins. Perhaps another couple of months.Quote:

If CO is not applying spillover to EB2I as he is blind on the demand side, why will he even move dates in the next two bulletins?Quote:

If the field offices open for business next week (June 22nd), then he might get some real demand statistics. It would be interesting to see what he says in the check-in. If he does not say much, then he is just moving dates arbitrarily (and conservatively). Just a theory.
You could be right in the sense that CO used the 2806 number and moved the dates. If that is the case then he can still advance the dates by a few months in the next 2 bulletins. No one can predict and know what is going to happen. We can only hope that the EB2I dates move by another couple of months. Ideally, he should move it to December 2009 considering the FB and horizontal SO , but expecting them to do the right thing is futile.Quote:

Hypothetically if I come back in the future and the PD is ahead of that, is that still good to use for a future filing?
He may not be completely blind. Dates advanced to May 2010 back then, and people filed for 485.Quote:

To file I485, your I-140 needs to be valid. In other words, employer should not withdraw it due to layoff or some other reason. One of the main benefits of filing I-485 is the 180 day AC21 clock from the receipt date. After 180 days of I-485 pending, your employer cannot withdraw your I-140 and then you become eligible for AC21 job portability. You don't need to do a new PERM. However, you need to find a job in same or similar category and your new employer should be willing to submit I-485 Supplement J form. This gives a lot of protection for immigrants waiting to adjust status.
A side benefit of filing I-485 is that you become eligible for (c)(9) EAD+AP card for you and your dependents. Just that fact that your I-485 is pending is very powerful. So that's why people file for I-485 immediately. Also consider the scenario NJMavarick had mentioned, i.e., PDs can retrogress. I understand that large IT consultancy companies routinely push their workers back and forth (from India) and can provide I485J or you can do CP from India even after 10 years from now. However, it is in your benefit to file I485 as soon as your PD is current. I understand that you might have your own reason for not filing I485. Typically people might wait for the marriage and spouse (or dependents) to enter USA and then file I485. This helps elder kids from aging out. If there are other reasons, I am very interested to hear.
One thing I am not sure is whether the 180 day AC21 clock is valid for "filing" or DF dates, as this is a new thing for me. I understand that DF will not protect kids from aging out (was discussed in this forum earlier). Only FA dates will protect kids from aging out.
Technically, you should be able to file any time in future (I am not a lawyer and so take it with a pinch of salt). The reason I say that is because we have all seen the pending 485 inventory charts (from back in the day when it was a thing). In those charts there always used to be some cases from late 90's or early 2000's pending at service centers even when they have been current for a while. However if you want to stay in US and not apply for I-485 it's a separate issue. As per the law "the foreign national must apply for adjustment of status within one year of their priority date becoming “current” (or immigrant visa becoming available) in order to remain eligible for post sixth year H-1B extensions based on an approved I-140".Quote:

For info.
An interesting article published today by an EB5 group following a webinar which included CO. It's had some discussion on Trackitt, where I found it.
Some of the info is more specific to EB5, but some is more generic.
I'll leave others to discuss what they make of it.
Would love to hear your ballpark prediction if we get 200,000 visas next FY.Quote:
