    Q,

    Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way.

    An EB priority date (established due to a PERM / I-140 petition) does not carry over to FB (established under an I-130 petition).

    An EB PD can be retained within EB1, EB2 and EB3 only. It cannot be retained for EB4 (based on I-360 petition) or EB5 (based on I-526 petition).

    The FB2B PD will be the date the I-130 petition is received by USCIS (so it would be a 2021 Priority Date). The Cut Off Date for F2B is currently in September 2015.

    If the petitioner becomes a citizen and the son/daughter is still unmarried, the petition can be converted to F1 (Cut Off Date currently December 2014). This can be opted out of if the F1 Cut Off Date is older than the F2B Cut Off Date.

    If the son/daughter gets married, the petition will be converted to F3 (Cut Off Date currently November 2008).
    Without an irritant, there can be no pearl.

    Spec - thanks. I overlooked the PD not being carried over part. What a bummer.

    On another note - in all likelyhood the aged out child will be on F1 and then H1 and marry an American spouse and things will be just fine in the long run. But the life will still be hell for a while. This is absolutely pathetic.

There is something that you may want to try though especially if you are still on H1. Just recently Greg Abbott the governor of Texas had asked for physicians to volunteer to treat Covid patients in Texas. You can mention to your congressman that you being on H1 is definitely impacting you from volunteering if the situation arises in any other state (because of amendments and other logistics). Hope that moves the needle for you. I do salute you for the service you are doing to the community in these trying times.
    Thank you for your kind words. It has been an awful year and a half and I just hope that these tough times get over soon for everyone.

    I was going to contact Senator tomorrow but finally, my and my spouse's statuses got updated this afternoon to "New Card being produced" and I have a sense of relief now.

    Hi Jonty,

    Many Congratulations!!.

    You took a right decision to downgrade to EB3 and then upgrading it to premium and got lucky to get the approval in less than 11 months.
    Otherwise you would have got filing your 485 today. You avoided almost a year of nightmare. Enjoy rest of the life. Happy for you.
