With an approved 140, for CSPA to be active all you need is the date to be current in Final action. So yes, if your PD is current under final action date in July21 bulletin with an approved 140, your kid is safe.Quote:

One Q, doesn't having an EAD and AOS status allow the kid to go to college on EADs and no need to switch to F1?Quote:

In the same boat (PD: May 17, 2011). Applications including the EB2 to EB3 downgrade were received on Nov 4, 2020 and notifications on Feb 11, 2021. No other communication/updates or notices since then. Would love to hear anyone's informed realistic assessment here for getting EAD or GC this fiscal year.Quote:

If you have EAD/AP combo card, then it should be okay to travel back even though your dates are current. You will be undergoing additional check at the immigration by using AP, and if your GC is approved by then, you can mention that to the IO, and probably they let you enter with I-551 stamp in the passport. But more or less with AP you should be able to enter with no issues. Again please consult with you Attorney before making any decisions.Quote:

So, the question is: Is there any law/rule that compels him to switch to a non-immigrant visa such as F1 and not remain on AOS pending status with EAD, once he turns 21?
Hello,
Does anyone have insights into DOL's perm processing for EBs? My application was submitted on 11/20/2020. There hasn't been any update since. If not this, I would have been able to file concurrent I-140/485 by now.
Is there any way to inquire?
I think you will get approval next month. I am in the same shes and only filed perm a couple of months ago.Quote:

I hope you received it and submitted the RFE response. This is one thing your spouse can't do it from India and must be here in the US. The next risk is what if you are asked to come for an interview ? I doubt it but you never know. Interview is being waived and everyone is getting the GC directly without any drama. So you should be fine. Talk to your attorney before flying out and keep them updated about your travel plans.Quote:

I'm not sure anyone can predict. My EB2 PD is 9/2012, i.e. not current yet, but my EB3 I140 + 485 concurrent filing has been pending since 10/30/2020. Received receipt notices in early Feb and nothing since then. No biometrics appointment, nothing.Quote:

I am hoping that either my 140 is adjudicated by the time the EB3 FAD reaches my PD (hopefully in 2-3 months if EB3 FADs continue advancing at the current rate) OR that they adjudicate the I140 and 485 at the same time when the PD date is current under FAD and straightaway issue the GC instead of EAD/AP. If that is why they are waiting to work on my I140, then I wouldn't complain, but of course, with USCIS one can never know. :(
Been with the same employer for 8 years.
Good morning experts,
I have been a reader of this forum since 2018 and learnt a lot. Finally, things seem to be moving in a good direction for me and that raises few questions and uncertainty - need expert input here.
My situation:
Priority Date - 21 Feb 2011 (India EB2).
Been with my current employer since 2007 and finally filed 486/765/131 Oct 2020 when I was current as per 'Date of Filing'.
I am still waiting for my fingerprinting notice, however my dependents just received the notices.
I have accepted an offer from another company and they are currently working on my H1B transfer.
Since my 485 (filed in Oct 2020) has been pending for more than 180 days, I should be able to leverage AC21 and my new employer should not require to file a new PERM & I-140.
At this point, I am committed to starting with the new employer around mid July. Planning to have my last day with my current employer on 6/30. Take a couple weeks break and join the new employer around 7/15.
Given the recent movement in EB2, there is a very good chance that I will be current (FAD) in July VB.
Questions:
If I become current (FAD) in July - can my new employer file necessary forms within the first week of me joining? Please note that I will have no employer between 7/1 and 7/15.
Given I haven’t received a fingerprinting notice yet, would it be a problem if I don’t get it before leaving my current employer?
My current employer is willing to submit an EB2->EB3 downgrade. I don't think my downgrade application will be processed in another 1.5 months (before I leave). Are there any downsides to having a pending downgrade application while H1B transfer is in progress?
Congrats to those who are current and to those who are getting greened. Great to see the change in mood.
EB3 to EB2 downgrade here - filed for EB3 I-140 and I-485 in Oct.
Have we seen USCIS issue medical RFE even if I-140 pending approval?
Quick questions folks, Can we send medicals without an RFE.
Yes you can. But it may be better to wait for an RFE as this will also initiate a need for generating RFE.Quote:

Regards
What's the 180 day clock btw.Quote:

Yes. You should be able to as far as the appointment are available with physicians in the area.Quote:
