  • Can my green card application move forward?

    As per the https://travel.state.gov/content/tra...uary-2019.html visa bulletin the DATES FOR FILING OF EMPLOYMENT-BASED VISA APPLICATIONS says that EB3 category for India is at 01APR10. My priority date for my EB2 filing is August 2009. Can this be used to move my green card application forward in anyway?

    If you applied for EB2 the only PD that will affect you is EB2.
    It could also mean that things are moving, but keep in mind that so far April bulletin still looks the same for EB2
    EB2 - National Benefits Center (I-485/I-765/I-131)
    - Priority Date: 10/19/2018
    - Biometrics NOA: 11/09/2018
    - Biometrics Appt: 11/26/2018
    - Fingerprint Review Completed: 11/28/2018 and again on 12/05/2018
    - Combo card (I-765/I-131) approved: 05/03/2019
    - Combo card (I-765/I-131) received: 05/10/2019
    - Interview Notice: 10/03/2019
    - Case Approved: 10/04/2019
    - Card in hand: 10/10/2019
    (374 days of DOL/I-140 and 356 days of AOS = 730 days of Green Card Process)

        Final Action Dates:
        EB2-India March bulletin 09APR09, April bulletin 12APR09, movement 3 days
        EB3-India March bulletin 22MAY09, April bulletin 22JUN09, movement 1 month

        I don't know what needs to be done to downgrade to EB3. I don't know if this movement will stay or just stop, then move again in October with new fiscal year.
        Nov 2018 - Package sent - EB - Texas Service Center
        Day 1 - Package received at the lockbox
        Day 999 - Card delivered to me - Aug 2021

          For that you would need your employer to apply for a new I-140. But this new I-140 will not be allowed under premium processing. A website with EB2 to EB3 downgrading examples for India citizens I found https://www.********.com/eb3-india-b...priority-race/
