Refile I-485 in EB-2 category?

Apr 24 10 Comments

My PD is Dec 2014, downgraded to EB-3 in Oct 2020, now EB-3 is stuck with 2012. My PD is current in EB-2 filling dates chart. I have talked to external lawyers and they are saying I am not eligible for interfiling because EB-2 final action dates need to be current.

I believe, there will be retrogression in Oct 2022. Is it a good idea to file another I-485 with EB-2 so that I will be considered in to EB-2 queue as well?

    I am relating this to when you switch lanes in traffic whichever lane you move to gets stuck.

      Consulates are still closed outside us. Thats the majority of the numbers for FB.

      This is partly true - but the current plan for USCIS from those who are close to USCIS is to come back up double the speed. We will know by the end of June if this is happening. For example, 45k visas were granted march (inckuding FB + other visas). But their plan is to 3x this for the rest of the year every month.

      I am more believing that theory because the current administration will bend over back to ensure family quota is used up even if it's at the cost of wasting employment GC (also note in this case FB is mostly consulates and EB is in country approvers). Of course, my guess could be wrong.

    Don’t interfile based on Filing dates, but on final action dates. Similar situation and will interfile once final action dates of EB-2 cross Dec 2014.
    Inter filing now based on filing dates has no benefits
