New basis of adjustment:

In some cases, an applicant with a pending EB I-485 may become eligible to adjust under another basis, such as an I-130 based on a marriage to a U.S. citizen. The applicant may either re-quest to transfer the currently pending I-485 or file a new I-485. Either way, applicants can speed up processing by including a letter or statement explain-ing which basis for adjustment they wish to pursue along with a copy of the Form I-797 receipt notice(s) is-sued for any other Form I-485(s) al-ready pending with USCIS.
