Employment Green Card guidance on Eb3 to eb1 and eb2
\nUSCIS officially released the Notice, encouraging Eligible Applicants to Switch Employment-Based Green Card Categories, due to large amount of employment-based green card availability. Precisely 140000 Green Cards are available for employment based applicants in fiscal year 2022, because of unused family-sponsored visa numbers from fiscal year 2021. <\/p>\n
Who Can File.
\nYou may be eligible to request to transfer the underlying basis of your Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, to a different employmentbased immigrant category, based on another Form I-140 – Immigrant Petition for Alien Workers.
\nU.S.C.I.S may in its discretion, grant a transfer request if the following criteria are met.
\n#1. You have continuously maintained eligibility for adjustment of status.
\n#2. Your adjustment of status application based on the original Form I-140 is still pending.
\n#3. You are eligible for the new immigrant category, and.
\n#4. You have a visa immediately available in the new immigrant category. <\/p>\n
Additional Guidance.
\nYou do not have to submit a new adjustment of status application, or filing fee with a request to transfer the underlying basis of your Form I-485 from one petition to another. Submitting a new adjustment of status application is not required, to transfer the underlying basis of a pending Form I-485 and will not result in faster adjudication of the benefit request.
\nThe written request to transfer the underlying basis form, should at a minimum contain sufficient information for U.S.C.I.S, to identify the pending Form I-485 and the immigrant petition, that you would like to use as the new basis for your application, for example, receipt number or A-Number.
\nIf you are requesting a transfer of underlying basis through the new address, you should not submit medical examination forms with the request. If a medical examination form is required, U.S.C.I.S will issue a Request for Evidence (RFE).
\nYou may transfer the underlying basis of your Form I-485 from a pending petition to a previously approved petition. However, you must confirm the validity of the job offer associated with the previously approved petition before your Form I-485 application may be approved. To avoid processing delays (such as a request for evidence), you should submit a Supplement J with your transfer request.
\nIf U.S.C.I.S grants your request to transfer the underlying basis of your Form I-485 to a different employment-based category, the transfer request resets the 180-day clock, for eligibility for the portability provisions, for the American Competitiveness in the TwentyFirst Century Act. <\/p>\n
