Possible proposition to suspend concurrent filing of I-140 and the I-485

Though nothing has been officially proposed yet, talks of USCIS greatly considering suspending the concurrent filing of the I-140 and I-485 are getting strong and may come sooner than thought. Some are speculating that they will float the proposal as early as June 2008.

If this actually pulls through then consular processing will be more attractive than AOS. This also confirms that USCIS is indeed severely backlogged and could not possibly take anymore AOS cases as that will mean more backlog.

I repeat, these are just talks w/c have actually been floated around for months now but have not been taken seriously until recently when it is actually gaining greater possibility.

Just want everyone to be aware of these talks as I know many are on F1 visas or in OPT now or have tourist visas waiting in the wings for another window to do an AOS. If they actually implement this, there is absolutely no advantage anymore for those who are on F1 and tourist visas.

proposal to end concurrent i-140/i-485 filings

[color=#808080]posted may 16, 2008 [color=#ffffff] ©murthydotcom

the u.s. citizenship and immigration services (uscis) has expressed its intention to end the practice of allowing concurrent filing of the i-140 and i-485 when the priority dates are current for employment-based applications. the only available information states that the uscis proposes amending the regulations regarding concurrent filing of forms i-140 (employer's petition for its immigrant worker) and i-485 (application for adjustment of status to permanent residence). the uscis is considering reverting to the prior policy of prohibiting the filing of the i-485 until the i-140 petition is approved. this information was gathered from the unified agenda of federal regulatory and deregulatory actions, made available through the office of management and budget (omb). the proposed rule is scheduled for publication in june 2008, with a sixty-day comment period
