Hi - I have Eb2-I priority date of July 2013, if my date becomes current or if i downgrade to Eb3, I will eligible to file adjust of status/i-485.I am outside USA (in canada, indian citizen) for last 3 years, I can't apply for H1 transfer as the visa ban exists till Dec 2020 for transfer petitions, what are my options? Can i still wait till the ban is completed and come to USA in Jan 2021, then file adjustment of status?
Will it be too late or do you suggest going for consular processing- if USCSIS says, we can use date of filing, can date of filing be used for consular processing? If consular, do you know, what is the wait time from start to end for that process?
My preference is to get EAD and stay in US. Any piece of advice, that you can share on this, will be greatly appreciated.
