This month (June)'s Final Action Date in the visa bulletin for EB3 is June 1, 2022, your PD is later than this date, so you are already affected - your 485 can only be approved if the FAD moves forward to a date later than your PD, i.e. a date of 07/21/2022 or later.

For people who are still waiting for the visa bulletin to move forward, let's urge USCIS to resume releasing the "EB 485 pending report" which can tell us the number of people waiting in line before our PD and estimate the wait time. Btw they released for 10 years but stopped in 2018, so it's not hard for them to produce it, I filed FOIA request and commented on the USCIS data page (https://www.uscis.gov/tools/reports-and-studies/immigration-and-citizenship-data) many times to ask for this. The more people ask for this, the more likely USCIS will take this seriously and release it.
