Does this mean if priority dates retrogress, already filed 485 cases would not be approved until the priority dates become current?
Chat User : What's the latest on priority date retrogression? How will it affect the RN community that just managed to apply for I-140 and I-485 together? Will it have any effect on approval of EAD?
Attorney : The retrogression of the PDs will have a major adverse impact on RNs since all new RN cases will not be able to file the I-140 and I-485 together when the PDs have retrogressed. There is a small chance that the U.S. Congress may pass legislation exempting nurses from the employment-based categories if hospitals and health care facilities lobby hard for some such measure. "The positive side of retrogression is that once a person has filed the I-485 and the EAD, a person is able to keep renewing the EAD year after year, even if the PDs retrogress or go backwards after the filing but new GC applicants cannot enjoy that same benefit."
