schaturv Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 Hi, On the USCIS website: http://www.uscis.gov/green-card/green-card-proc... in the last para it is written: "When adjudicating concurrent filings, the determination of eligibility for the immigrant visa petition is made first. If a visa number remains available for the immigrant classification and the Form I-485 is approvable (which in certain cases requires an interview) USCIS will generally consider the adjustment application at the same time. Separate decision notices will be sent for both forms." Does it mean that one can get a GC sooner if one goes for concurrent filing of I-140 [with premium processing] and I-485? Can one really bypass all the others who have their AOS applications pending for several months just by doing a concurrent filing and premium processing of I-140? Can anyone share their experience with concurrent filing of I-140 [with premium processing] and I-485? Thanks. Link to comment
jairichi Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 Depends on country of birth, as for India and China in EB2 and EB3 category this cannot be done. Link to comment
JoeF Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 An I-485 can only be filed when the PD is current. Link to comment

Belle Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 Premium processing of I-140 takes two weeks. There is no way your I-485 will be approved in two weeks. The processing of I-485 will take at least 2 months. Link to comment
