Live4GC Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 What if current date is Oct2006 and my priority date is also Oct2006 but i fail to apply for 485. How many months do i have to file 485 ? Thanks. Link to comment
pontevecchio Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 You would need to maintain your legal status in some way...H1 ETC and if the dates retrogress you will not be able to file till they are current again. Note you will not get further H1 extensions beyond the current one, in this case. Link to comment
boshyd Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 If you miss filing in the first month your date becomes current, you can file in any of the subsequent months when your date remains current. Link to comment
tusharvk Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 VB is issued every month. Sometimes they may issue another vb mid-month if they receive too many applicants. Depending on the PD and category, you may have upto a month to file; but people would file on the first day their pd is current. be sure to check with an immigration attorney. Link to comment
gc485process Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 To tusharvk: You are wrong.. please donot spread false information if you are not sure. Visa bulletin is only issued once a month and not multiple times irresepective of how the demand is. Link to comment

Previously USCIS have revised the bulletins in mid month (Remember July 2007 Fiasco). Also even though the bulletin is in effect, USCIS have stopped approving cases due to no visas are available. This has happened previously. However this is irrelevant to this thread. Link to comment

I would not wait till the last day of the month in which my pd goes current to file 485. Link to comment
