Latest Visa Bulletin Q


Recommended Posts

I have a question -  

1. For my case EB1C filing was done in early April (concurrent filing for I140 and I485). 
2. In June Visa Bulletin for EB1C: 

- DATES FOR FILING OF EMPLOYMENT-BASED VISA APPLICATIONS is "CURRENT" 
- FINAL ACTION DATES FOR EMPLOYMENT-BASED PREFERENCE CASES is retro to "01JAN12" 

How does the retrogression impact GC timeline? Does that mean that the files (I140 and I485) will keep on processing, however I-485 (AOS) adjustment of status will not happen until October 2017 when retrogression becomes current? OR GC could be granted prior to October 2017?? Biometrics done 15 days ago. 

Please clarify. Thank you!!

First your I-140 needs to be approved, before I-485 can be approved. For I-485 if the PD date is current in May (and I-140 is approved) then application can technically be approved before June 1st, if not it will need to wait until PD gets current again which NOT necessarily will be in Oct 2017. It can be a longer wait considering amount of applications filed under this category.
