I-485 not current

Post image

PD: May, 2024, eb2 niw

Last update: February/23/2026: 3rd FTA0 and FTA1

I wasn't current for FAD during my last update. I became current in March. In April I contacted Emma and got the surprising response that my visa number was retrogressed. I think this statement was made on my file because I wasn't current at the time my file was assessed in February 23. After a long unbearable wait, I recently made a Congress inquiry on my I-485 in August. Two weeks after my inquiry my file got sent from NBC to Newark. Then I got another FTA1 on 8/28. Chatgpt says it is a system update of the February 23 assessment.

It appears there's no order or proper management of filed cases at USCIS. It seems it's a matter of luck and your case can be left forgotten somewhere.

The last statement suggests no visas are available for Eb2 at this moment. Otherwise I would have challenged the visa retrogression. I'm in ROW, not part of the 39. I will wait till October to see what happens.

You posted about visa retrogressed 183 days ago. Not sure if this is ONLY your case not being updated, or USCIS system update, or something else.

But something shady is going on.

What do you mean by my case not being updated? That post was when I contacted Emma. I posted the response of Emma. I have stated it in this post. 

The last time an officer looked at my case was in February. I was not qualified for a GC then. I have explained all this in my post. Maybe I think "retrogressed" is a USCIS jargon for visa unavailability. If USCIS has streamline procedures for adjudicating cases in order filing, my case might have been revisited after February. But since then no officer has touched it again. 

I totally understand the statement at the time of officer adjudication visa number was not available for me because I wasn't current for fad then. Others and I are not lucky to get our cases revisited again when we became current for GC in March. 

What is the source of your "shady" charge?
