    For NIW the burden of proof is in the I-140 stage; if you’ve already had it approved, the I-485 document checklist should be similar to regular EB2. Keep in mind that different attorneys ask for slightly […]

    Somewhere around late January or early February we expect USCIS to release another pending I-485 inventory. We will update the Green Card Tracker as soon as the data become available.

    It is the same dilemma many couples face: whether to be on the safe side by filing two sets of I-485 applications or stick with the earliest PD to avoid potential confusion. And there are plenty of […]

    Did your visa (stamp on your passport) or your student status expire? Your visa stamp doesn’t matter, as long as you maintain full F status. One way to fill a “gap” is to apply for OPT, then have your employer acquire H-1B status for you. If you have already completed your study and are thus out of status, you may be accruing unauthorized stay…[Read more]

    They would resend it only if they know the first was lost in the mail (or was returned to them by USPS). If I were you I’d call USCIS customer service, and/or make an infopass appointment if it is urgent.

  • IRC Admin posted on the forum topic AOS vs CP in the group Group logo of I-485I-485: 6 months ago

    I don’t think there is a clear answer as to which one is “faster.” It used to be that CP is slightly faster than AOS, but for a given case, it can happen either way. It is especially true nowadays that backlog (retrogression) and security checks account for the big chunk of waiting time, so [...]

You can search by year/month, or country/preference that will list cutoff dates just for your category. Current month and next month’s visa bulletins have quick access buttons of their own.

    There are three pieces of information that will help you:

    1. I-130 processing time by USCIS
    2. Visa Bulletin for F2A category
    3. Possibly upgrading your spouse’ case once you’ve become a citizen

    Today I synchronized our visa bulletin database to the green card tracker. Now when you check your place in line, the results page will also display your visa bulletin cutoff date for the current month, as well as next month if it has been released by the Department of State.

  • Ok, you caught me! :-) A couple questions already came up today as to why their green card tracker result increased, albeit slightly, since yesterday. It was due to a database bug that I fixed late last night. Here is what happened: We calculate the total number of pending I-485 applications ahead of you using [...]
