eb2 or eb3 by USCIS
I had eb2 India i140 approved. PD dec 2013
In 2020 - When Eb3 moved forwarded , filed a combo i140 and i485, medicals together. Dates retrogressed. Eb3 I140 is approved.
June 2022 - Again when eb2 dates progressed , I interfiled. Obviously USCIS cannot give you update on whether interfiled is accepted
Now eb2 India is at July 2014, eb3 India is stuck at Nov 2013
What is the possibility my application can be processed in eb2 queue ? My last communication to USCIS is interfiling. What’s the hope if that will be honored ?

Your case can be processed under EB2 if USCIS recognizes and accepts the transfer of underlying basis back to EB2. The problem is that USCIS often does not clearly confirm interfiling acceptance. Since EB2 India is more favorable for you, I would send a clear follow-up request with copies of the EB2 I-140 approval, EB3 I-140 approval, I-485 receipt, prior interfiling request, and Supplement J if applicable. There is hope, but no guarantee until USCIS actually acts under EB2.
