PERM Priority Date
My immigration options are given below:
October 2022: My employer filed PERM, but not yet approved.
January 2023: NIW I-140 approved.
May 2023: EB1A I-140 approved.
I have the following queries:
1) I want to clarify if having an approved PERM means I have obtained the priority date. Is it necessary to file an I-140 after receiving PERM approval through the employer to secure the PERM priority date?
2) If my PERM is not approved, but I file I-485 when EB1A becomes current, what happens if my PERM gets approved after 1 or 2 months of I-485 filing? Can I update the PERM priority date on my submitted I-485 application with the approved PERM? Will this shorten my waiting time for the I-485?

EB3 Skilled I-485 No Case Updates Online
Hello.
Everyone else seems to have a specific updates such as 'case being actively reviewed', 'card being produced', etc.
Ever since my case got transferred from NBC to a FO far away from where I live, my uscis case status has been staying still even when I was sent a mail to take my fingerprints and RFE following right after.
Is this normal?
How can I get my uscis case status to be up to date?
My PD is February 2022, fingerprints taken in March 2022, non-medical RFE response made in August 2022.
When I reach out to live agent through Emma, the agent tells me that my case is processing normally and that's it.
Has anyone had a similar experience with no updates ever since the transfer? Specifically Newark FO is where my case got transferred to.
Thank you and hope everyone's case is going smoother than mine..!
God bless. #I-485 #i485 #rfe
Got I693 RFE even though GC application status says no Visa available
Hi All,
My GC application had paused stating "We are temporarily pausing work on your application because an immigrant visa number is not immediately available to you." . My priority date is Oct 2013 which got current but retrogressed by the time application was in November 2022. However, on Jun 6th they sent me RFIE on Form I693 for missing vaccine. Does this mean they are still reviewing my application? What can I expect further? #I485
Rfe I485
Hi All,
In December 2022, we started the AOS process through my greencard holder spouse. In order not to risk my valid visa, we applied without waiting for the 2022 tax return. My husband's tax return for 2021 was below the desired rate, but we also showed the cash that had been in the bank for a long time. RFE came about our file and it was stated that they could not determine whether my spouse's sponsorship was sufficient, and new evidence was requested regarding the financial situation or you could add a joint sponsor.
My husband has already filed the joint tax return for 2022 and is is well above the desired amount(56K). We still have cash in the bank.
In this case, would it be sufficient to send my husband's tax return for the year 2022 and our bank account to RFE, or do we have to find a joint sponsor? Our lawyer said that since we applied in 2022, the tax declaration for 2021 is important, and if we do not present a joint sponsor, our file may be rejected. If we reply to RFE with my spouse's 2022, can they reject the file without requesting other RFE? #I485 #rfe
I-485 change field office
Hi!
We recently moved from Chicago to LA while our I-485 is pending a decision. We've already submitted AR-11, and are wondering if anyone has experience with how long the process would take for an FO to transfer a case to another?

How does USCIS change of address affect my I-485 application timeline?
Back in Feb 2022, we filed I-485 and I-130 concurrently for my permanent resident application, with my wife, a naturalized US citizen, being the petitioner. Our case was transferred to the Chicago FO on 07/01/2022. The I-130 application was approved on 02/28/2023 and I received the medical RFE on 02/09/2023. We also knew from AskEmma back then that our interview has been waived. According to UPS, our I-693 response was delivered and signed by the Chicago FO on 04/05/2023. Until today (06/13/2023), there's no status update on my USCIS account (still showing request for evidence was sent). We have reached out on AskEmma for an expedition request, as well as contacted the Chicago FO through congressional liaison but just received some boilerplate response :-/
My wife and I have just graduated and would need to relocate to the LA county in a few weeks. Given that we are so far along into the I-485 application, how does the change of address affect our application timeline? Will our case be transferred to a different field office? Would it help if we update our physical address, but keep a mailing address in Chicago? Thank you so much for your help and look forward to hearing back from you soon :-)

Question regarding I765 approval as a h1b holder
First of all, good luck to you all.
I just got approval combo card (i765 EAD + Adavnced Parole) and still pending for I485 and I130. I am processing i485 as a spouse of US citizen and currently h1b holder working in the US.
My questions is if I want to get a new job from a company, which authorized work permission should I use or which one would be beneficial? For example, h1b should go through h1b transfer process and I have 0 knowledge on i765 how to use it when I get a new job. Doesn't the employer have to be h1b visa sponsor if I get a job with i765?
Any advice would be appreciated.

just for laugh (maybe)
today i was thinking why uscis takes forever and then I remembered the silly videos people post on instagram/tiktoks where healthcare workers, and others employees are busy making tiktok trends and dancing while the patients are waiting for procedures and I imagined that happening at the uscis offices while all of us are mentally stressed out waiting for updates
just for laughs, not hating on any employers
I hope we all hear positive good news soon

processing logic
hi community! does anyone understand the logic behind processing times? my spouse’s EB1-A I140 has been approved in November 2022, our country’s pd is current -our pd is 8/3/2022 and we submitted I485, I765 and I 131 on december 5, 2022. until now, we have only received the eads mid may. if anyone else is in this situation please reach out. I keep checking case status for at least I131 because we need to go back to our country to get school diplomas for the kids to get into university but I don’t even think that’s a valid reason for an expedite request. If very few from our country have cases pending, how long do we still have to wait? medical has been submitted with I485 and it’s EB1a. what do you think, should we expedite the I 131 at least? USCIS processing times says 20 months which is crazy. any thoughts?#eb1a #i485 #i131
