I checked with her and she said not yet but I spoke to Tier2 officer and he said it is I-693Originally Posted by andhraguy
It took about 4 days for the RFE to arrive in the mail. I got the medical started the very next day of getting an email alert. Unfortunately, my lawyers delayed sending the documents out by nearly 3 weeks. I sometimes wonder if I needed them at all. It’s fairly straightforward. Good luck. You should expect them by Friday.
Green card approved on 6/28/2021
EB2-India; PD 2/10/2010; I-485 RD 3/22/2012 at TSC; RFE received 05/08/21: I-693 (Medical), "Job Offer Letter", and Biographic info (G-352A). RFE response received by USCIS 6/4/21; Officer # XM2027
That's good news, your application is all clear expect medicals. Respond to the RFE asap to take advantage over other applications.
I have to receive the document by mail right
No need to wait for the RFE document. To save time you should start the booking appointment for medicals immediately. if the RFE is for I-693 then well and good. If the RFE is for something else then also you should submit medicals with this RFE response. Doctor don't need the RFE letter, they just need your credit card info.
I book the appointment this Friday , but doc said they need RFE dcoument
First time hearing this. You should be getting the RFE letter before Friday. If not try to convince the doctor, this process will take some time about 7 to 10 days, you can provide RFE letter to the doctor later time before collecting the sealed envelop.
@Admin - Please move this discussion to appropriate thread.
Hello Sivarama/Idliman/Aceman and other experts,
When people applied for downgrades from Eb2 to Eb3, how does USCIS count these numbers? Do they count the individual in both Eb2 and Eb3? If so, is it not a duplicate ? How will they be able to properly estimate the demand and move the dates if they count each downgrade application twice ?
Please let me know based on your understanding.
I was just presenting a logical opinion and trying to refrain from making predictions. Too many variables and unknowns to predict anything with certainty and make any recommendations. Speaking of logic, this year's spillover did result in the FAD's for EB2 to move 2 years to 2011. All things being equal, with FY 2022 spillover expected to be as much or greater it would make sense to dates to move another 2 years? The good part about EB2 is that it would be unlikely for the dates to retrogress in the future as long as it stays behind EB3.
Maybe the middle ground is (And this is not a recommendation) to wait till October and then take a call based on the movements? Downgrading to EB3 now will take 6-7 months anyway (if premium isn't accepted). Delaying the decision 3-4 months will push everything back but will also provide more data to make a more informed decision.

hello gurus, long time lurker and first time poster. I could really use your help.
My PD is June 2014 EB3. Though the filing dates were current in Oct bulletin, I changed employers since I got an offer from a tech company. They start perm processing from day 1 and my case (EB3) is in prevailing wage determination now.
After reading some posts about retrogression and some people waiting for more than 12 years, I?m thinking if leaving the employer was a bad idea. My old employer is willing to take me back. I know we cannot predict the future but do you have any thoughts on retrogression. I?m okay with waiting a couple of years if my current perm takes time but just worried if it will be decades of waiting. Thanks for your time.
I agree and I like this approach. The less feathers I ruffle - the better. I have waited patiently, I can for another 3-4 months. I really appreciate you taking time to give me your thoughts on it. Things will move.
Quick question.....what is the process of getting Non Availability of Birth Certificate document from municipality ...
Everything I do, you do it better!!!
I did a direct transfer from HSA debit card to my checking, to pay for the cash needed for medicals.
And yes, my medical provider insisted on cash payment, so could not do the CC.
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
Go back to your old employer and file the i485 ASAP, you should be allocated GC visa in next 9 months if not by 30Sep2022.
Ace, even I haven't done the best thing. The most optimal thing to do is to pay the bill from your regular account (with after tax money) and preserve the receipt....to let the HSA money compound tax-free for years (assuming you have invested it properly), and then submit the receipt for reimbursement after 20-25 years. You can get reimbursement any time as long as you preserve the receipts.
Another thing many people may not know is that the CARES/pandemic Act that was passed last year made sanitary pads HSA eligible. Can you believe that? You need to have all those receipts though! Here is the link for the news:

Well, now I am digressing from the main topic of this thread!

YTeleven - would your recommendation be different for June 2011 priority date (my priority date) ? My current employer will file PERM tomorrow, prevailing wage took almost 5 months. I am hoping that PERM will be approved without audit and I can file I-140/I-485 concurrently by January 2022. Would you recommend moving back to my previous employer ?
FAD for Jun2011 will be moved as early as by Oct2021 and it will be current forever in future.
If I were you I'll take 485J from old employer and file the 485 in Oct2021 and expect to get GC by Jul'22 and plan to join old employer at appropriate time.
YTeleven and other experts, does similar advice hold for downgrades also ? I have a Feb 2012 EB2 PD with an old employer. Wondering whether to
1) join old employer ?
2) If joining old employer, go EB2/EB3 route ? EB2 route involves waiting
3) Even if EB2 filing action date moves soon to Feb 2012, will EB3 route get me the GC quicker ? As EB3 Final action date is in 2013.
New company is working on prevailing wage, will file PERM in a few months.
Please advise.

Folks who got greened recently - I got my medical RFE two weeks ago and I have completed the medicals now with I-693 ready to be filed and the response for RFE ready to go. My EB2 date (Jan-2011) is current in July, would you advise to hold off and send the RFE response packet next week so that it reaches USCIS as of July 1st or is there no harm in sending it right away/right now? I want to take the approach that would give me a best shot at quicker adjudication. Please advise!

Zen,
You should send it right away! Don't sit on it for even a day. I even recommend using the next day delivery. That's the only way you can get ahead of hundreds of applicants. I also suggest sending them in separate packages if you are sending for you and your spouse. I did ALL OF THE ABOVE, and got my GC approved within one day of them receiving the response.
Nobody is downgrading eb2 to eb3 that is a wrong analogy. It is like one buying both first class and second class ticket for the train. Goal of the passenger is to board the train. He has made himself eligible in both ways. He can decide which class to use.
As per the train management, they will have the number of tickets sold for each class since they don?t know which class passenger is going to choose, it may not be accurate.
Thanks Vedu! Agree. But my date is not current until next week. Hence the question. Do you still think I need to send it right away?
