hi
I have Oct 2009 PD. NSC Center. Current in March. RFE Responded Feb last week.
As there is no response, I want to go for Congressman or Senator inquiry. Can someone explain me process. I live in Dallas. Pls advise. Should i go for congressman inquiry or senator inquiry
You can do either but don?t do both. This is for example John Cornyn?s webpage for enquiries. There will be detailed instructions usually for different issues.

If your salary without bonus (https://www.flcdatacenter.com/) for the position SOC code you are hired is wage level 4 or more, then go for Eb2, else go for EB3.
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
I would say definitely go with EB3 since there is much lesser chance of rejection of I-140 due to lower requirements than EB2.
I posted a question regarding h1 transfer after 180days of filing 485 in the other thread. i appreciate if some experts can answer to it and delete this message.

There is no danger of falling out of status because of the pending I-485. It's up to you if you want to take the risk if the I-485 is denied for any reason. That's why it's always good to hold an underlying non-immigrant status like H1/H4.

I hope USCIS will begin "GC Utsav" soon
GC utsav is a big ask, if they can start issuing RFEs to those who have been waiting for the past 6 months that would be a good start.I hope USCIS will begin "GC Utsav" soon

October 2020 filer, Is anyone trying to prepare renewal of EAD/AP applications since we are hitting 6 months time frame? i wonder if we need to get our application ready and file even before receiving the original card.

EAD/AP are granted for one or two years from the date they are granted, not from the I-485 filing date, so why are you worried about renewing EAD when you haven't even received it?
Yes i would start renewal process by end of may As mine expires end of december.
If you haven?t been approved or received your EAD card yet, why would you want to try & renew it ?
Yes i have not received it yet. but USCIS works in mysterious ways, in past i have seen H1b extension took like 6-7 months but the approval date was from the filing date. so i was worried if the same thing happens and if we don't file for renewal on time (6 months before expiry) then it will cause issues with work authorization.
this is my first time filing EAD so i do not know what to expect.

Hi, My PD is 2012 Nov in EB2, the downgrade was filed in October. We received the receipts in December. In January, we filed for PPS for downgrade I140. We didn't see any movement for 2 months and the lawyer withdrew the check and within 10 days, USCIS updated their status that the I140 petition is rejected because of insufficient funds, even though the check she withdrew was only for PPS. We tried sending the check again 3 times but they kept rejecting it. I chatted with the agent and they are asking us to refile the entire I140 again. My lawyer is thinking to file an ombudsman request. I have receipts for 140, 485, etc. but now since USCIS is asking to refile I140 again will they be affected? TIA for the help
Quick question
I upgraded my EB2-EB3 downgrade I-140 to premium processing. My attorney filed the downgrade in October 2020 and filed premium processing request on 03/23/2021. Since we didn't get any receipt for premium processing and the premium processing fee check has not even been deposited yet, he contacted USCIS on 04/09/2021 and was told that the I-140 had not been marked as premium yet. The responding officer was going to look into confirm the receipt or perhaps a rejection of the premium processing request and get back to the attorney when they have more information.
I only upgraded to premium because I am fairly confident that my priority date would get current in the last quarter in the EB3 category and I wanted to have my I-140 approved by that time. Also, I know few other physicians who also downgraded to EB3 and then upgraded their I-140 to premium recently and got them approved.
How usual it is for USCIS to not even mark the I-140 as premium even after 15 days of filing (it would be 15 business days this Tuesday) and also how common it is for them to reject a premium processing application for a downgraded I-140? I am asking this because I have not heard of any cases so far where they have rejected a premium processing on a downgraded application and also not given an answer on a premium processing for 15 days now.
It's basically radio silence from their end. No receipt, no rejection. They haven't even deposited the premium processing check yet.
Any insight appreciated.

Last bulletin was released on March 12th, a Friday. Are new bulletins usually released on Fridays only, or can we hope for May's bulletin in the next few days.
EB2 Oct 2009 PD. Submitted paperwork in Oct 2020. Received fingerprint appointment for March 31, still have not received EAD and AP. Also i submitted without medicals, have not even received RFE. My case no. starts withs MSC. i guess it is really going slow in this center.
In case of my friend who also opted for EB2 to 3 downgrade at TSC in Oct 2020, his Law firm Fragomen filed for PP only after getting the receipt and he got his I-140 approval in around 10 days. It could be that your application for PP is lost at the uscis facility.
I think it is usually released on Fridays, but don?t think that?s a hard rule. It?ll definitely get released sometime next week, maybe even tomorrow. The last bulletin they released it friday and then scheduled the check in the subsequent wednesday so maybe theyll do the same thing again
I applied PP for my case on 27th of Jan. It was radio silence for a few days and then suddenly my online status changed on 11th of Feb about PP acceptance. Then my PP got approved on 23th of Feb. I know a few folks who had their PP rejected the first time and then it was accepted the second time around when they refiled it. I think the radio silence is because they are taking some time to receipt/acknowledge the request. Once accepted however the approvals or RFEs are coming in within 15 days. This is an anecdotal account based on my and my friends experiences. Not 100% sure if the broader trend is the same.

Hello
Need a suggestion on dependent, I485 applied first time on 10/13/2020, Notice received date 12/11/2020, FP done on 02/09/2021 case at NBC. Primary approved last week, is there anything that can be done to dependent given the PD is current from past 2 months.
=========================================
EB2-I PD -> 19-Oct-2009 | EAD/AP since -> 30-Apr-2012 | GC -> 08-APR-2021
Received emails stating an RFE was sent on 4/12 for both primary and dependant.
EB2, 18Nov2009, TSC.
This the first time we receive the RFEs since 2012.
May be TSC has started moving this week.
Hope everyone waiting for RFEs get them soon.
Could you let us know when did you file your 485 exactly? Was it in March 2012 or April 2012.
It's interesting to see this trend wherein TSC is issuing RFE for the very first time. I have noticed this with three other filers. Also, please update us who your officer is.
