Hi,
My Green Card case is in I-140 stage with Counsellar Processing option. With the new change that makes it possible to file I-140 simultaneously with I-485, I'm pondering to change my I-140 application from Counsellar Processing to I-485. With regards to that, I have a few questions and I'd appreciate if you can answer them. This will help me make an informed decision.
- To amend my application I-140 (Counsellar Processing) to I-140 (I-485 option), what forms do I need to file?
- If a form does need to be filed, do I need to wait for some notification from INS before I can file I-485 afterwards?
- You are probably aware of the six month rule of I-485. For my case, will six months be counted from the date I-485 is filed or is that dependent upon the approval of I-140 as well?
- Usually how much time does it take to get travel documents after filing I-485? As my case is slightly different, do I need to wait for approval of I-140 before I get travel documents?
I hope I haven't asked too many questions. Please provide your input and I'd really appreciate it.
