Thank you.

Thank you for the link. Fee part is little ambiguous. Just contacted my attorney and he says this:
Since the first AP never got approved, this filing will not be an extension. It will a first time AP so he will have to pay $575.00 for each applicant to file AP.
I am confused.
I believe he is right. In your case, your current I-131 application will eventually have a status of applied for and abandoned. So you essentially lost the freebie you get when applying for I-131 along with the I-485 and will have to pay for the new applications.

Given where we are in terms of visa bulletin movements, is there any kind of expectation of where the bulletin final dates may be in June 2021 and sept 2021? Just looking to see where we think we may land up in terms of the numbers in 3 and 6 months. Please opine.
No he did not, he wants to try and get his GC 5 minutes faster because if it did not happen the wait might kill him.

Go for it if wife's employer is paying for it. In all probability it will be current before EB2 12/23/09.Gurus .. Need your advice plz.. My PD is 12/23/09 (EB2) i have been on EAD since 02/12 .. My wife got a PD 5/18/10 from a small Desi consulting company with approved 140.. However she switched to use EAD from my PD and has been working FT with a big financial company. Should we revive her PD and apply? or wait for mine to reach the line... the wait is killing
PD EB3-I 10-28-2010; RD 10-23-2020 LPR 08-26-2021
Does this means that even if the Filing employer is not the current employer, we can change the employer and be on EAD through AC21 benefit?
You can still use your existing H1 (if you have one).
I no longer provide calculations/predictions ever since whereismyGC.com was created.
I do run this site only as an administrator. Our goal is to improve clarity of GC process to help people plan their lives better.
Use the info at your risk. None of this is legal advice.

Yea. H1B will be the last hope...
For us to conclusively answer that question, we would need inventory data, which has not been published for almost 2.5 years now. So any guess is based on assumptions based on historical data. My guess is that horizontal spillover will be equally distributd across backlogged countries,resulting in india and china getting around 20000- 30000 extra visas each per eb category. This should leave eb3i moving around 15-30 months, and eb2 moving 10-20 months. So my guess is both both of these should get close to 2011 in worst case, and best case get close to 2013. Assuming 1-2 k inventory per month which was the case I'm 2009.
You should try whereismygc, as they have much more data to predict this. All predictions need to assume that every attempt will be made to prevent visa wastage.

I have a question on I485J. MY PD is Oct 29, 2009 (EB2). I got an RFE from NSC that requires medicals and I485J. I had got same RFE in 2018 when I had submitted I485J and it was approved also. My employer is also not changed. Do you see any issue in me getting I485J again for same employer. I am planning to submit I485J again and my employer (large company) is also fine. I am planning to submit exactly same I485J response as last time.
RFE also mentions that if I need to continue with same lawyer (as in I 485 which is a different lawyer from previous company) , pls indicate. Do I need to continue with same lawyer and do I need a personal lawyer. Pls advise

If your job role has not changed , then its fine to use the same . use the lawyer your company provides as all large companies pay for it . This is a straight forward procedure, so don't sweat it out.
Is there anything yet in JB's EOs that lifts the family GC ban from consulates? I don't re-collect seeing any and if that's true we may have more SOs than we think for fiscal 2022 also. Not bad eh.
Nothing stipulates you to use the same lawyer. Looks like your case is pretty straightforward too.
No, there is nothing in the EO to end the visa bans which has got people like gsiskind, ckuck all mad and threatening lawsuits. I will be shocked if we don't get 60k+ spillover for FY2022.
GC Approved 7/29/2021
I am current since November with PD September 2009. First applied in 2012. RFE in 2014 and 2016. Recent RFE for 485j, Medicals and Geographical information on Jan 5th 2021. Responded RFE on 28th Jan 2021. Received receipt for 485J on 2/2/2021.
My best friend had a June 2009 PD and became a citizen early last year, one of the fortunate ones... amazing what a few months difference in PDs in 2009 ended up costing. If they apply the spillover properly and issue the GC, one can hope people in 2010 won't meet the same fate.
GC Approved 7/29/2021
I have a handful of friends whose PD was only few months earlier than me and they are now applying for citizenship and I am still waiting for RFE....
TSC; EB2-I: PD: 17-SEP-09; I-485 RD: 25-APR-12
With only 140,000 GC for entire category for the last 30 years, this problem is going to be extrapolated in the coming years. The recession of 2009-11 camouflaged the issue for some time, just like Covid pandemic from 2020 - 21,22. All these extra numbers is going to help max of people till the end of 2012.
So in the year 2027 you will have a Dec 2012 applicant as a citizen and a Jan 2014 applicant still on H1 if the demand is high for next 5 years after 2022.
EB green card numbers has to be raised to 250,000 and all the people with approved 140s given a one time GC to the tune of 1 million.

Hear you. I have at least 2 from same company who got GCs in 2012 (EB2I 2009 PDs) and became Citizens couple of years ago. The movement from COVID spillover is a golden chance. Sadly people who miss out on GCs might have to face what you and other 2012 EAD folks are going through. A few months may matter a lot for some unfortunate folks. That's why I am advising everyone to keep one feet on EB2 and other on EB3.I have a handful of friends whose PD was only few months earlier than me and they are now applying for citizenship and I am still waiting for RFE....
Edit: The situation of people who just missed out on EAD with May 2010+ PDs is even worse. They had to wait many years to even apply for EADs. EADs have become the new GCs.

LPR Since 07MAY2021
Couldn't agree more, Mine is June 2010 EB2. Not to mention the 2015 fiasco. I was pretty skeptical this time after multiple burns but actually got EAD.

The infuriating part is that USCIS has been moving EB1-I dates over the last 4 months, but there are no applications in EB1-I queue who are eligible as most of the moved dates are applying after October, so they are all still waiting for biometrics etc. Whereas EB2-I is stuck and that is the only place where there is readily available applications in queue.
Only 0.3% of EB1-I that applied after October have gotten GC yet.

The glimmer of additional hope is that we are likely to have FB SO again in 2022 FY. So some ppl. who miss out closely this time may get another stab next year. Who knows..the country caps may be removed by then. I'm an eternal optimist
