Help on I-130 approval notice

[liborutgers12 0]

Hi all,

I got my I-797, approval notice for I-130 on 09/28. My wife petitioned me for F2A. I'm in USA holding F-1 visa therefore I filed I-130 for Adjustment of status. However, on the approval notice written like this:

"

The above petition has been approved. The petition indicates that the person for whom you are petitioning is in the United States and will apply for adjustment of Status. The information submitted with the petition shows that the person for whom you are petitioning is not eligible to file an adjustment of status application at this time.

Additional information about elegibility for adjustment of status may be obtained from the local USCIS office serving the area where the person for whom you are petitioning lives.

Until the person for whom you are petitioning files an adjustment of status application, or applies for an immigrant visa, this approval petition will be stored in this office. If the person for whom you are petitioning becomes eligible to adjust status based on this petition, he or she should submit a copy of this notice with Form I-485, Application for Permanent Residence. Form I-485, Application for Permanent Residence. Form I-485 may be obtained at the local USCIS office

Etc...

"

The sentence in bold make me really confused. Am I not eligible filing AOS because of the priority date not current? (My PD is 10/07/14, which is not current in Sep) If this is the case, then the new filing date for Oct is 03/15, which makes me eligible to file AOS.

Or I can only go through the consular process? But in the letter, it seems that my application is stored at USCIS office.

Is this a normal approval notice for AoS based F2A when the filing date is earlier than the PD?

Thanks,

Paul

The approval notice was written in September and went by the September visa bulletin. It is now October - you would look at the October visa bulletin to determine your eligibility NOW.

(My PD is 10/07/14, which is not current in Sep) If this is the case, then the new filing date for Oct is 03/15, which makes me eligible to file AOS.

^{I agree with Randy. I think you are eligible to AOS and you can send in your details tp USCIS.}
