I485 J : Never received receipt until GC Approval

Congrats!! I guess now it's time to open up the blue label bottle!!!

That's my understanding.

Is FO determined by (based on I-140 approved) Work location address or current Home address?

I think based on your MSA. Most likely.

For 485, biometrics will not be reused. You will be called in to give biometrics for 485.

Oh man! so the wait continues for me no biometrics till now...

If biometrics are not reused, does that mean than everyone who completed biometrics for EAD/AP will have to redo biometrics for i485?

Thanks. I got it engraved when i got current in March 2012 for the first time and it will be used sooner .

My biometrics were not reused and after the appointment, they were applied for EAD/AP and I-485. So could be the opposite holds good, if they do reuse biometrics for EAD/AP, you will be called separately for the I-485 biometrics.

Yes. Mine too. It was applied for the I-485 too.

Hello -

I`m new to the forums. I have a PD of 12/2012 under EB2. Unfortunately, the company I work for did not downgrade my application from EB2 to EB3 due to reasons beyond my control - I wasn`t able to convince them either. If they had done it I would have been current this Visa Bulletin. But, let bygones be bygones.

Here are my questions -
Based on my understanding on how things are moving with EB2 - and hopefully they will move in a similar fashion - Can I hope/expect my date to be current around Feb 2022. Is that a reasonable projection?

I can wait for that amount of time. Do you see the pattern changing? Do you folks have a different prediction for EB2 PD 12/2012?

Might be better. Gives CO an additional 10 days to get any updates from USCIS and provide a more accurate input on date movements for next month and after (though he's been very accurate so far anyway).

Looks like it got postponed because of the very new Juneteenth federal holiday.

My PD (5/23/2011 EB2-I) is current as per July bulletin. I didn't file for downgrade last year.

I am wondering what the best course of action might be for people who never got to file because DOF was not current or accepted by UCSIS *but* whose dates may be current directly in the FAD chart ( e.g. May 15 to May 30 ).

I am thinking about filing just 485 and 693 medicals. I will avoid filing 765 (EAD) and 131( Advance Parole). If I send Medicals right away could I get GC before Oct 2021.

Hi,

Can anyone recommend a good civil surgeon for getting the I-693 medicals done in the Atlanta and nearby region?

Thanks!

Its not a question of 'If I send Medicals right away' - you should. Also, without BioMetrics (BM), your case will not go through the FBI check. But you never know with USCIS and they might expedite your case for BM so that you can be greened in this fiscal.

You may want to look up the 485 processing times in the USCIS website. I don't mean to disparage you, but some of the 2012 filers are still waiting for their GC. And they have been FAD current since Oct 2020.

I have seen 2009 applicants greened in 2014 while lot of applicants from 2008 got greened in 2018. Even now lot of 2010 applicants are reporting greened, and 2009 applicants filed in 2012 waiting.

Congrats bluelabel!

The only logical explanation that I have for this is that it's been 9 years since they filed and chances are NOT bright that the initial batch of officers who were assigned those cases are still working in USCIS. The result could be that their files are assigned to a different officer and ended up in the bottom of the pile. Just a theory, I have. Do I have proof, NO.

I have seen people who submitted 3 weeks after me with a later PD get an earlier Notice Date and get greened.

Hi Guys
Happy Friday to y’all

Has any one received their GC who applied in October 2020 and in EB2 EB3 category?
The dates are jumping quickly these days

Just curious

Are you still planning to join the lawsuit then? I am still on the fence. My downgrade application is in TSC (RD 11/4) and so far no action or FP appointment yet. I have been following on Trackitt and there aren't many TSC cases with movement.
