Case Processing
i-140 pending + i-1485 + i-765
I'm Venezuelan( born)/Argentine. I have a pending EB2-NIW (I-140 filed March 2025). Now that the bulletin is current, I want to file my I-485 + I-765.
With the recent 2025/2026 memos (adjudicative hold for Venezuelans), is it possible to get the EAD approved while the I-140 is still pending? Or is the EAD also frozen under the new security reviews? Appreciate any recent experiences.
Can we file for Ajustment of Status
My wife has an ongoing EB3 case, her Priority Date is 06/27/2023 and Case Complete is 10/26/2023 and she’s now current in the march 2026 visa bulletin. She is currently in the US with me and have challenges going back to attend the consular interview in the UK where she has been living. Again, due to the travel ban, applicants are getting denied. Can she apply for AOS through her employer while she is here with me on B2 visitor visa.
USCIS Policy Alert
It seems that about 6 days ago, USCIS updated its policy alert on their website. They finally clarified that they are “automatically considering SIJ beneficiaries for deferred action, and accepting requests for renewal of deferred action within six months of expiration on Form G-325A”.
The pre-recession policy seems to be fully back for now.

RFE Question
I had submitted all the proof with my application and I just got a RFE and looks like they’re asking almost everything that I had submitted .
Did they lost the document or why are they asking everything again?

removal proceedings
I have a pending Vawa and I have an individual hearing scheduled in March. I have to go in person and I have a lawyer going with me. looking at what is going on in the court houses with ICE arresting immigrants, I’m so scared.
Has anyone been in this, any advice. please share. I’m In New York. I have no criminal background.
What is the real nature of the job?
So basically I have been working for a company as a production worker for almost 3 years (still waiting for my greencard). I applied for an IT Data Analyst from the same company sponsor that I am working for.
Everything has been working out and I supposed to have an interview today but out of now where my HR manager told me that she asked BDV about the nature of the promotion and they said I cannot get this job since this is a skilled job, unless I apply for a another position such as supervisor cuz it is aligned within the nature of the unskilled position.
From my perspective, I found this is ridiculous since I believe the IT job is definitely a nature of the immigration process. I think it this way.
3 years as a production worker —> see an opportunity and have a degree that matches the position that company sponsor is looking for —> take the opportunity and applies for the position -> got promotion within company.
I believe the USA 🇺🇸 is a freedoms country so I don’t believe in such a thing as the promotion that is not consider a nature of the job.
Guys, what is your take on this? Please let me know. Any answer would be appreciated. 🙏🏼
