  • What next once your Final Action Date becomes current

    All,

    What are the next steps once your Priority Date becomes current for Final Action as per Visa Bulletin?

    August bulletin advanced Final Action Date for EB1C India by 7 Months. I am assuming any work on newly current cases will start from August 1. How much time it takes to complete any remaining processing and issue the GC?

    Thank You!

    USCIS follows a first in first out process (whenever possible). So your documents submitted during the initial submission will now be assigned to case officers. Perhaps another review and if a visa number is available, they will assign it to your case. That triggers the greencard approval and card production.
    If there is no visa number available when it is being reviewed, then its status quo.
    Newly submitted cases go to the back of the line.

      If Medical has already been submitted and Interview completed 2 year back, will USCIS go through the file again or just approve the case and issue the card?

      is short staffed USCIS causing any delays in the approval process - anyone who became current as part of June or July bulletin- what is your progress after that?

        I-693 (medical) is valid for 2 yrs from the date USCIS gave you the receipt. So you can do the calculation to determine if it has been 2 yrs. If yes, you will get an RFE for another medical.

        Short staffing is going to affect case review. If visa numbers remain at the end of the month, then will spill over into the next month.

          My final action date became current on August 1. Today, I got the good news that my card had been sent for printing and that I should receive my card in the next 30 days.

          My medical and all other documents had been submitted about a year back.

                  I am on the same boat. My final action date became current on Aug 1, the last action was on Feb 2020, USCIS received the response to my RFE for birth certificate related issue. my PD is Feb 2019.

                          Congratulations! Thank you for updating this thread. I am EB3 with PD Feb 2019, so its gonna take a while for me if they are following first in first out process.

                            Hi,

                            Can anyone suggest what are the options i have, below is my current situation

                            1) I have approved i-140 in EB1 C
                            2) I expect my priority date will be current by October 1st
                            3) My current I-94 was expired on 08/23 and I applied for my L1a extension in normal processing
                            4) I don't want to move to premium and I am assuming it will take more than 6 months to get any status on my extension
                            5) My spouse and kid got struck in India and their L2 visa got expired on 08/23

                            I am looking for clarifications on the below questions

                            1) Can i file I-485 while my family is not currently in USA
                            2) What are the options I have to bring back my family while my i-485 is in progress
                            3) What will happen if my L1A extension got denied and i-485 is in progress

                            Thanks in advance
