Wanted to post my experience regarding interfiling 485 between NIW EB2 and EB1
NIW I 140 approved - 9/2005. I 485 filed concurrently.
Recevied EAD and AP October 05
Retrogression hit India and China Oct 05
Filed EB1 - ALIEN OF EXTRAORDINARY ABILITY with TSC 1/06
I140 EB1 approved 3/06
EB1 numbers for India became current in September 06 and my lawyers sent a transfer request to attach my I 485 to newly approved EB1.
TSC asked me to send new G28 form since lawyers were different for EB2 and EB1. Sent G28 last week of Sept and LUD on october 20th 2006.
However no confirmation from TSC regarding this transfer despite writing 3 transfer requests.
Took infopass on 1/25/07- officer was very nice but could not confirm whether the transfer had taken place.
Wrote a letter myself to TSC on 1/26/07 but no response.
Received RFE on 2/20/07 for Medical exam and sent it 2 days later. LUD 2/26/07 that medical report has been received and file is being processed and decision will be made in 60 days.
Repeat Finger print on 2/28/07 and LUD on 2/28/07
I 485 approval notice received for myself and my wife received on 3/2/07
I wanted to post this so that it does reassure those of you awaiting I 485 interfiling.
My lawyer always kept reassuring me that interfiling has always worked for them but USCIS will never confirm such transfers since their is no fees attached to such transfers.
Good luck
