  • Final action date vs Date of filing US Visa bulletin October 2017

    The October 2017 US visa bulletin has the following dates for EB3 India:-

    Final Action Date - 15 Oct 06

    Date of Filing - 1 Jan 08


    My EB3 application has a priority date of 22nd Dec 2007. USCIS has stated that in this bulletin employment based applicants must use the final action date. Does this mean that I cannot file for I485 by following the "date of filing"? Please confirm that the date of filing is not relevant for the purpose of filing I 485 unless USCIS explicitly states so.

    That's right. For I-485 filing purposes, you must use whatever chart USCIS shows here, and for October 2017 for employment-based categories, it is Final Action Date (which is kind of a break from past years, when they would use Date for Filing for the first few months of the fiscal year).

    This is my personal opinion and is not to be construed as legal advice.
