is your 140 approved ? if not got for pp and you can extend h1 based on approved 140 without maxout issue

you sure do have hope!!! it is retrogressed now but will bounce back as the port over cases reduces. Also row is current and that means spillovers. but as @r b suggested an approved 140 goes a long way

@r b - Mine is at Texas service center . I-140 still pending approval. My Attorney told no use to go for PP if PD is not current, once current they will file I-485, but the problem in my case is max out out reaching fast :-(

@d s - 👍

don't worry u should be close with 140 approval.in worst case u can still go for pp but I don't think it's needed

2022 PD straight filers won’t get gc for at least the next 5-6 years.

@G C the current filing date is July 2019. it is rare for filing date to change in fiscal year. but again things are so volatile. last year they kept adjusting even filing dates. it is typically assumed that the filling dates become current by end of the year but again lot of factors 😢. so I think Dec 2020 might be next fiscal year. however if uscis did play safe, it can happen towards the end of this fiscal year. on the contrary if things go wrong even the current fiscal FAD may not reach 2019. not being pessimistic, just the fact

@d s are you talking about EB1 for RoW ?

@pradeep dive ROW eb1 is current. I was referring to India.

@d s seems like we both are exactly in same boat bro
