8老师:您好!
我的I-485一直处于Pending,但EAD/AP都已经拿到了。现在USCIS更新了online case status,说退回申请费,第二天就收到了退费支票($1225全额退回)。一个礼拜了,其他什么信息都没有,根本不知道具体是什么原因。在网上搜索了一下,说可能是交表时间不对。我本来是EB2,后来申请降级到EB3,收到receipt后交了I-485因为那时EB3是Current(但EB2 filing date还没到)。结果降级EB3最后批下来还是说EB2。-Did the two I-140 have the same priority date?
因为打了指纹,EAD/AP也拿到了,而且最近Case还转到了National Benefit Center。所以也认为没问题,既然还是EB2,那就等吧。真没想到会是这样的结果!
-I don't know what happened. You had better visit the local USCIS Office to find out what happened. Sometimes USCIS will feel confused when you filed I-485 using downgrading EB2 to EB3 before the EB3 I-140 was approved. I have seen USCIS declined such I-485 before. The safe way to do this is that you should have used premium processing to get the EB3 I-140 approved when you did downgrading EB2 I-140 to EB3 I-140. Thus, your EB3 I-140 approval will have the same priority date as the one of your EB2 I-140. Then, you would file I-485 using the EB3 approval notice, and USCIS would not feel confused.
请问8老师,我的情况是否是交表时间的问题?为什么USCIS不给个明确的回答,而且等了大半年了才退费?我的EAD/AP是否还有效?-As long as you don't receive the I-485 denial or rejection notice, your EAD/AP is valid.
现在我该怎么办,是重新交表申请I-485吗?如果我要重新交表,用最初的EB2 I-140还是后来降级EB3却被搞成EB2的?我是担心用后面的这个I-140到时还会出问题。但最初的那个EB2 I-140还有效吗?-Yes.
我两个I-140都是在同一个公司工作办好的。-Why didn't you discuss this issue with the employer or the lawyer when you found both I-140 were EB2?
另外,如果重新交表,需要先把以前的那个申请怎么样撤回(或怎样Cancel掉)吗?因为我也不知道这个Case的Status是什么,online status只说“This refund does not affect the processing or location of you case."
-You need to visit the local USCIS Office to see what happened first, then do the other things. Of course, if the EB2 I-140 priority date is current now, then you may file a new I-485. Anyway, visit the local office and then, talk to your lawyer.
请8老师根据您的知识和经验指点我。
非常感谢8老师!麻烦您了!
