F1 India
Hi everyone! Looking to connect with anyone in a similar situation, especially F1 India applicants.
My father filed an I-130 for me when he was a green card holder. My priority date is January 9, 2021. He later became a U.S. citizen, so my case moved to the F1 category (unmarried adult child of a U.S. citizen).
I’m Indian-born, currently in the U.S. on H-1B, and my I-130 is still pending.
With the November 2026 Visa Bulletin, the F1 India:
* Final Action Date is January 22, 2021
* Date for Filing is February 1, 2021
Since my priority date is January 9, 2021, it is now earlier than both cutoff dates, so my priority date is current under the Final Action chart as well as eligible under the Filing chart.
Is anyone else in a similar situation where your priority date became current while the I-130 was still pending?
* Were you able to file I-485 while the I-130 was pending?
* How long did the Adjustment of Status process take?
* Did you maintain H-1B while waiting or use the GC EAD?
* Did USCIS adjudicate the pending I-130 and I-485 together?
Would especially appreciate experiences from F1 India applicants with 2020/2021 priority dates.
Thank you!
