I quickly browsed through the feed, no mention of EB immigration. As usual it's always a bottom priority.Quote:

Some value their career or money change over GC. If I read the posts correctly, applying for citizenship after 5 years alleviate any problems of not working with sponsored employee. Since GC is valid for 10 years, there is 5 more years to apply for naturalization.Quote:

At DOS open forum at AC21 Charlie said India EB-2 FAD in July Bulletin will be 6/1/2011; EB-3 FAD India will be 1/1/2013.
Spillover for next year prob 150k

Back to Charlie O: Barring any legislative or other changes, expect FY22 family limit to remain at 226,000. Remote that could increase but not likely. FY22 EB limit should be "at least 290,000, prob thousands higher." That is more than double usual limit.
The not very good news...

Charlie: USCIS is doing an extraordinary job processing EB cases based on staffing levels. We believe if USCIS can't get to the Oct-Dec 2020 cases this year, they should have enough ready to go early in FY22 to make a big dent.

Sounds like USCIS will not come close to approving all eligible AOS apps this fiscal year.
How about 2012 filers? There are still tons of 2012 applicants waiting on RFE?Quote:

There was absolutely no hope otherwise from law makers and presidents who lied through their rears for over two decades pledging for immigration reform.Quote:

- With latest PERM trends and I'm estimating to get PERM approval by Aug 2021 and file concurrently for I-140/485
My question, should I wait till Oct to file in EB2 ? (since USCIS is only accepting FADs) Or should i concurrently file in EB3 directly (FAD will be current) ? Does it even matter at this point if i file in EB2 or EB3 in Aug/Sept time frame? Looking forward for feedback.
Maybe time for Sri to move EAD+H1B posts out of this thread ;-)
Coming back to predictions, surprised that not a single question was asked today in the AILA conference about starting to release pending inventory again, which is a shame.
Bad news is Charlie seems to have thrown in the towel finally when asked if USCIS will be able to adjudicate 262K visas. Unfortunately, every 20 numbers lost will add an additional 1.2 days to the wait. So factoring in a total of 50K AOS applicants per year (EB2 + EB3 queues combined), a loss of 50K GCs will result in 3000 days/8.3 yrs of additional wait for the later PDs. :mad::mad:Quote:

After that it will be too late even for USCIS to expedite granting GCs. All the downgrade applications stuck in Tardy Service Center(TSC) are another big roadblock.Quote:

Hello guys
My PD is Eb2 india Aug 13 2010, I will be filing i140 premium and i485 This week
My lawyer is snail paced! When can I realistically expect GC ?
Sharing my case updates - My 485 application case status changed online to reflect that an RFE was sent on 6/10 (yet to receive the mail). PD - 01/2011 (EB2-I). Also, Form-J Supplement shows as approved too on 6/10. All processed by the National Benefits Center. Also, my EAD/AP have been approved since January and biometrics were done in January too.
One thing to note, as a lot of people seem to be of the opinion that GCs are received in order of PDs. But that's not how it works. While PD does play a part where the officer may start reviewing the case sooner for an earlier PD as its current earlier than later PDs. But with FADs moving 8-10 months last few bulletins the processing will shift from PDs to first come first served. It just means the way the applications are received/stacked up. So anyone applying now would be on the back of the queue when it comes to the applications that are current. So a person with a 2011/2012 PD who applied Oct 2020 will stay ahead of the 2010 applications let's say filed in June 2021 as long as the dates are current for 2011/2012. Yes if the dates retrogress it's a different story.
Good point though. Given the news about USCIS process efficiency, I suspect a retrogression is on the cards in Jan 2022 timeframe. Any thoughts ?Quote:

Hello all,
I have joined a new employer on EAD, and now want to submit the I-485J form. The lawyer from my last employer will charge us $2,500 to file I-485J form. The form looks very simple and I plan to do it on my own. Do any of the experts here know the process to revoke G-28, so that the last employer lawyer is dis-associated from my case?
Thank you.
good to know, can you also share received date, notice date etc?Quote:

It depends a lot on the processing time.You need to have your I-140 approved first.Better file in premium.You first have to get receipt notices for your applications.Even though your PD is current, we have limited insight in USCIS processing.They seem to be processing applications by 'received date' and not by 'priority date'.All you can do is to file all your paperwork properly .That way your application won't be delayed by needless RFEs.Quote:

Change your legal representative
Complete a new Form G-28 (edition date: 05/23/18 or 09/17/18), and make sure you and your new legal representative complete and sign the appropriate sections of the form. Indicate your mailing preferences by checking the box next to Item Number 1.a. for notices and/or Item Number 1.b. for secure documents in Part 4.
The USCIS office where your case is pending.
Find the USCIS office address on the most recent notice you received from USCIS.
Withdraw your legal representative
Send us a letter saying you want to withdraw your legal representative and intend to continue your case without any legal representation.
If you do so, USCIS will communicate only with you.
I do not see any retrogression till Sept 22. But after that the music stops. I can see some EB vertical spillover from EB1 in 2023 and maybe some ROW horizontal spillover but nothing from Family.Quote:
