How?
Not at the moment because EB-3 is unavailable (though not retrogressed for your country - while there is a difference the result is the same for you at the moment). Once it becomes available again (hopefully after Oct. 1st) you can also file I-485. However soon future retrogression in EB-3 is prediced for all countries.MA001 said:I received LC for my EB3/ RIR. I dont have much knowledge of the rest of the process. Need help to understand. Can I for file parallel processing
YesMA001 said:Is it dependent upon visa availability.
Yes it does matter if it is retrogressed (see above).MA001 said:My country of birth is not retrogessed, does it matter for applying for parallel processing. etc.
What to do now:
1) File I-140 immediately
2) Wait for EB-3 visa numbers to become current
3) File I-485/EAD/AP once visa numbers are available

Do not sleep if you have an issue at your hand.
Call today.
Thanks a lot for the info. One question, I believe I can apply for I-485 without waiting for approval of I-140

What is your country of Birth and your PD in EB3?

If I-485 is filed while visa numbers are available and later, retrogression is set before the PD of the case, will CIS stop processing the case? I heard that supposedly they would, but do they really stop processing I-485s which have later PD than cut-off date in the field?
If the answer is Yes, what is the advantage of filing I-485 in this October-December while some visa categories are back to current, other than AC-21 portability & EAD?
Thanks.
