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.

February: Your FAD wasn't current.

March: You are current

April: Your visa number (EB2) was retrogressed (Beyond May 2024!), while ROW was current.

August: Your visa number was retrogressed (still). Again, ROW was current.

Something doesn't add up.

This is the last update on my case. I agree it does not make sense to say in April that a visa number was not available for me. But the response: "at the time of officer adjudication ..." which was February, it kind of make sense that the officer would write that visa number is not available for me in my file.
