Can I file i-485 before PD becomes current
hello everyone,
i recently received my approval for i140 application. Wondering if it’s risky or unwise to file form i485 before my PD becomes current. PD is January 26, 2024. My lawyer says i can go ahead and file even though my PD is not current, but I have seen mixed outcomes with doing that. Please share any guidance. Thanks.

Is this for eb2 niw? I am asking because your profile says eb1. what is your current status in the country?
Mrs MrsMay 31, 2024
@Yas I Correct. The application will be denied. If EB1 then he can file since it is current. Surprised lawyers are giving wrong information.

@Yas I My friend’s lawyer gave wrong information about the I-485 filing too because her lawyer wanted her to pay the filing fee since the lawyer was charging extra to file i-485 and of course then it gets denied and then the lawyer has already gotten paid her processing fee. Did you file i-485 yourself or did you use a lawyer?

No! do not try it, they will return it and normally will delay you in doing so.

@Niser Jim Where are you hiding at? You need to response to all the questions and contributions that have been thrown at you. Why did you remain silent while good people with vast experience are here to help you out. Just to hit the nail on the head: if your immigration benefits belong to EB2-NIW category, then you are not current and you need to take off your shoes and run away from your attorney who advised you to submit your application. It is called dangerous and deadly zone.

thank you very much everyone. Sorry my response is very late. it’s for EB-2 NIW @Mrs Mrs. not sure why the app updated it with eb1

Following your suggestions, i think the consensus is to not attempt the i485.

@Yas I that’s actually wild. Safe to say I’m not working with that lawyer anymore. I don’t suppose i even need a lawyer to file the i485?

Thank you, @Yas I

But if the PD is not current can form i765 be submitted while waiting for the current date of i485?
Thank you
