F-1 on OPT and I-140
If my employer files a form I-140 for me and it is approved, do I become a pending permanent resident or do I remain on F-1 status?

Finally got the NIW approval :)
Hello everyone! I received my NIW approval finally and I am so happy. I got my approval notice in February (after ~7 months). I must say this is really amazing and if you find a good attorney then you are good to go.
I have a PhD degree in materials science and I am currently working as a research investigator, with 4 publications and 33 citations. I was not sure about filing an NIW because my citation count is kind of moderate if compared with other fellows, but WeGreened took my case and gave me confidence.
I collected all the documents about my academic life and sent them to my attorney. It was indeed a smooth process. From replying to my queries to organizing my petition packet, everything was professional and organized. I suggest people who don’t have time to find an experienced law firm in handling your case, just like I chose WeGreened.
My petition packet included 5 recommendation letters which were drafted by them. They also demonstrated why my research is important with thorough statistics and detailed evidence about the implementation of my works.
I hope my experience might help you guys. Be confident and clear in your actions. All the best!!

EB-3 & ROW, New York, NY
Hello,
Posted my timeline a few weeks ago but there’s been some update so wanted to share:
Visa & nationality: EB-3 & ROW
Location: New York, NY
Jul 9, 2019 – priority date
Oct 09, 2019 – mailed I-140 (premium), EAD combo card, and I-485 applications to USCIS
Oct 10, 2010 – receipt date for I-140 (premium), EAD combo card, and I-485 applications
Oct 21, 2019 – I-140 approved
Nov 08, 2019 – received biometrics appointment letter
Nov 19, 2019 – biometrics completed
Nov 21, 2019 – case was transferred from Nebraska to NBC
Jan 8, 2020 - EAD combo card being ordered
Jan 10, 2020 – received letter re I-693 (medical form) not submitted, my lawyer recommends to only get this done after an interview date is scheduled
Jan 14, 2020 – EAD combo card delivered
Jan 14, 2020 – your case is ready to be scheduled for an interview
Jan 31, 2020 – received interview letter
Feb 3, 2020 – completed I-693 medical exam and received sealed envelope from surgeon
Mar 4, 2020 – interview at NYC field office
Interview went well, all in about 20 minutes, it was really more verification of info and making sure nothing has changed (job, address, etc.) since I filed the application. Officer mentioned at the end that my case was “approvable” but due to retrogression, they can’t issue the green card now. I was then handed an interview result paper, which stated that my interview is complete, but my priority date is not current, so my case will be transferred to TSC or NBC, once my priority date becomes current, they will make the final decision on my case.
Lawyer estimates EB-3 would become current in the summer, it's purely a guess, no stats to back this up. Fingers-crossed it will be the case so I won't have to wait until the new fiscal year in Oct 2020.
Thanks,

F1 to Eb3
Hi Everyone,
Maybe someone can help me since my lowyer is not sure about the answer for that.
I have filed my I485 and I 765 on Dec 2019, I got my EAD card on January 28 and start working with my employer. Now my employer has some issues and he might close the business so my lawyer said I should apply for opt to maintain my F1 status just in case.
My degree end date is May 3 and I am currently at school. I am applying for OPT but I am not sure on the I765 form if I should answer that I have an A number, and if I should put my EAD card number. At school they said that the question is if I had it from previous OPT, but if I answer that I don’t have a card/an A number. I am lying.
Did anyone had that situation and know to tell me what to put on the form.
Please help me, I have to send out the OPT request today.
Thank you

EB-3 Skilled Worker PD 05.14.19
Hello everyone,
I am very concerned regarding the retrogression as I am having a very difficult time at my job but can't leave due to GC.
Below is my timeline:
PD 05.14.19
Location: BK, NY born in all other chargeability areas.
I-140 & I-485: 7.29.19
I-140 approved: 8.12.19
1st bio-metrics: 8.26.19 (couldn't process)
Transfer notice: 9.19.19
2nd bio-metrics 9.24.19
EAD approved: 12.20.19
RFE requested: 12.20.19
Ready to be scheduled for interview: 01.28.20
Nothing since then. My lawyers estimate additional 4 months wait time for interview but they cay it can happen sooner or later.
I am so desperate to leave because of hostile work environment and continuous sexual harassment. There is really no way to expedite the process?
Any helpful advice or encouragement is welcome!

EB3 retrogression
I'm in EB3 ROW with Priority Date July 2019. I will go through Consular processing. DS-260 and documents are submitted and case is documentarily complete and in line for interview. But now EB3 is retrogressed. So now I'm trying to understand when I might be able to get my Green Card.
What I can't understand is where the final action date comes from. As of now the final action date for EB3 is 01JAN17. But last month the category was current. Why did someone with a priority date in 2017 send in their visa application now. I don't understand how there can be a queue with that old priority dates when the category was current an month ago. Does anyone understand this?
And what is the outlook for EB3. Will it be current in October when the new fiscal year begins?

Public Charge Rule
I am on F1 Visa and my 6 year old is on F2. He has CHIP through the State of Maryland which I still pay a subsidized premium based on my income.The State deemed him eligible because he is a child and lawfully present. Even though I told them he is a non immigrant not qualified for public benefits, they told me the rule was change to include any lawfully present child regardless of immigration status. As long as he had an active I-20 he was eligible.
The public charge rule did state that CHIP is not among the designated benefits used to determine public charge, and also kids under age 21 who receive medicaid are exempted. Do you think this will affect my son and I ? I am about to file for adjustment of status. Also, I have a 3 year old who is a citizen and is a beneficiary of Child Care subsidy, this was not stated in the public charge rule, but when filling the new form to determine public charge inadmissibility, should I state these benefits(CHIP & Child Care Subsidy) even though they aren't listed on the form as part of public charge determination? They just started receiving it this January and want to be sure it will nit cause any problem, if it will, I can dis-enroll them since we haven't reached the months of receiving the befits.
