Thanks for sharing a valuable point, my son is running 20.Originally Posted by vsivarama
I was thinking that my PD (Apr-2011, EB2) will become current by coming July/Aug-2021 VB under FAD chart, hence his age will be locked and need not switch to F1 later, this is regardless of whether we will receive GC or not before Sep-2021 subject to the USCIS processing capabilities. Please clarify.
Looks like you are already aware of the intricacies involved here. I too believe that you will be current in July/Aug, and I will have that probability at 99%. But, I still wanted to give an ultra pessimistic view of the 1% because if the worst case came to fruition unfortunately you and your family will be on the hook for it. Your son's age is locked the first day, the FAD is current for you (provided your i140 is already approved). After that, it does not matter if the dates retrogress or if you get your GC after 10 years, your son will be protected. Since you mentioned H1 transfer, if the new employer is willing to do that I would say you should prefer to be on H1. This is one place where the reward (switching to EAD) is not worth the risk (Son ageing out without a path to F1) however less it is in IMO.

Hi Gurus;
Do USCIS conducts Interviews now a days before approving I-485 for applications filed post March 2017?
I'm not a guru, but it appears that interviews are rarely being scheduled in order to consume the numerous GCs available
Hello, I have seen people post that they got GC without interviews.
These folks filed for the first time in October 2020.
There is not a specific rule or pattern that USCIS is following.
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.
PD: EB3-I 24 Feb-2011
I-485, I-765, I-131 applied : 26 OCT 2020 BIOMETRICS : 19 MAR 21 RFE : 13 APR 21 RFER : 14 MAY 21 EAD APPROVED : 17 JULY 21
I-485 Interview and Approval : 15 DEC 21 CARD Received : 23 DEC 21
People are getting greened without interviews now. Just like Biometrics for H4/L2, the enforcement of AOS interview was just a pretext to delay the process for eligible people.

June VB is out: https://travel.state.gov/content/tra...june-2021.html, EB2 FAD moved by 4 months and EB3 by 9 months
Awesome news ! Now the excruciating wait for an action on the file ( RFE /card production) begins for many..
PD EB3-I 10-28-2010; RD 10-23-2020 LPR 08-26-2021
Great news, congratulations to everyone who became current with June Visa Bulletin!
Also, please note that EB2 Filing dates moved forward by 2.5 months to Aug 1, 2011 which means the initial estimate of Charlie was an undercount.
Also, the DOF has moved from 15MAY2011 to 01AUG2011. What does that movement mean if USCIS is going to accept only the dates in the FAD chart ? Does it mean that the FAD will reach 01AUG2011 by Sept 30 2021 ?
EB2-India; PD: 4th Nov 2011; I-485 RD : 1 OCT 2021; I-485 ND : 15 OCT 2021; 485 Receipt # : MSC2290023***; I-485J ND : 5 NOV 2021; BM : 22 NOV 2021;
Urgent question gurus. My fad is current, my family has to travel in couple of weeks for couple of months> the travel is unavoidable.
Are we ok to travel while our fad is current?
Do you have your EAD and more importantly Advance Parole ?
For Birth certificate, you can see the details here https://www.qesehmk.org/forums/showt...n-Status/page5
PD: EB3-I 24 Feb-2011
I-485, I-765, I-131 applied : 26 OCT 2020 BIOMETRICS : 19 MAR 21 RFE : 13 APR 21 RFER : 14 MAY 21 EAD APPROVED : 17 JULY 21
I-485 Interview and Approval : 15 DEC 21 CARD Received : 23 DEC 21
Yes, we have that
yes, we have that
Looks like i will be current next month but my downgrade eb3 i140 is still pending..my priority date is may 2011.
Premium process request was rejected this month...asked us to retry after 30 days...
would i miss getting gc this year?
Gurus please respond
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?
June VB released. EB2 : FAD 12/01/2010, FD : 08/01/2011
EB 3 : FAD : 11/01/2011, FD : 01/01/2014
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.
So, after a decade long of wait we are finally current. What should we be doing now? We had our biometrics 2 months back and we submitted the medicals/supplement J along with the original application.
It?s a direct application and 140 was approved 10 yrs back. Still with the same employer.
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.
