    There was 12 people in the waiting room . Not bad!!!  I waited 45 min and I got called in .

     

    The officer, introduced her self and told me to follow her , which I did ! when we got to her office , She told me not to sit yet , She told me to say words after her ,  made me swore then told me yo sit . Then , started with a yes and no question after that she asked me if I wanted to change my name  , I said yes , I changed my name to the nick name my husband uses to call me . She said me how my marriage is , I answered fantastic. Then she asked why is it fantastic? I answered my husband is a good provider, a good husband and father

    . Then she said now I will ask you history .,,. I said, I’m ready ma’am!

    I just saw that if you click on the field office name, in the field office locator search (https://www.uscis.gov/about-us/find-uscis-office/field-offices), it tells you that they are going to be transferring cases. This may be an indication of which field offices are transferring cases. I only checked MD.  This is what appeared.

    Me (LPR) and my husband (H1B) are in the same boat. We've sent his I-485, I-765 and I-131 yesterday. 

    But I just found out Mr. Oppenheim's predictions and actually I am not sure if that changes anything for us? We submitted I-130 in October 2018 so it is still pending. 

    So I think (please correct me if I'm wrong) he'll not get his green card until his I-130 gets accepted, which is still probably a year or more from now.

    From what I've read, and again I'm not a lawyer,  for now with what the June Bulletin shows... filling under the "Dates for filling chart" will only help you to start earlier with reviewing and processing of your application. But yeah, you will have to wait until i130 and i485 are approved and also a visa number is  available under the final action dates.

     

    At least you can hold on 485 Pending status, in case something happens to your husband's H1B status.

    I just want to correct myself here. I reviewed again what Charlie said and it's the Final Action Date table that's gonna be current. He says the level of demand at this time is insufficient to require the implementation of a Final Action Date. The worldwide category of F2A is going to remain current at least through September. 

    He didn't give any projection for Dates For Filing.

     

    It might not be relevant for OP's case but maybe other people read this thread.

    How did you find out that Charlie was talking about the Final Action Dates? I just read the link you posted.

     

    In that sense, that would mean that there will be visas  available  for everybody under the F2A category? That is too much good to be true, we will have to wait and see.

     

    Anyways, I just applied under the dates for filling. Since those are the only ones as of today published under June2019 Bulleting.

    Charlie Oppenheim talks about Dates for Filing chart becoming current. It means that every legally present spouse of LPR can file concurrently in July, just like citizens. Dates for filing chart governs the PD by which a legally present spouse can file to adjust status.

    It's not surprising at all actually. The consular processing is completely bottlenecked, for those of us with spouses abroad. They have to make up for the shortfall. 🧐

    Yeah,  In addition,  I was also hypothesizing that since not too many people can apply for AOS while being in the USA when they have a Family preference category, then this visas numbers as well might no being used fully.

    Hello Everyone,

     

    I was checking the visa bulletin for June 2019  and for my utterly disbelief, two things have happened for this month.

     

    1. June will use the shorter priority date "Dates for Filing chart"

          Extracted from UCIS website " Adjustment of Status Filing Charts from the Visa Bulletin"  https://www.uscis.gov/visabulletininfo

     

             For Family-Sponsored Filings:
            You must use the Dates for Filing chart in the Department of State Visa Bulletin for     June 2019.

     

    2. Priority Dates under F2A category for All Chargeability Areas Except Those Listed: 08MAR19

         Extracted from the official "Visa Bulletin For June 2019" https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/visa-law0/visa-bulletin/2019/visa-bulletin-for-june-2019.html

     

    Also from some other ImigrationLaw offices web sites, I found the following information

     

         Charlie Oppenheim, the Visa Chief for the Department of State announced at the Federal Bar Immigration Law Conference in Austin, Texas May17, 201, said that

     

     

    My spouse’s i130 priority date is from 17JAN2019, and he is currently lawfully present in the United States, with an F1/OPT visa. We are sure he qualifies for AOS.

     

    We were expecting a long wait before filling the 485 under family preference. So we were working towards my us citizenship and filling later as an immediate relative However, with this recent news, I’m really confused and not sure how to plan things.


    I think I’ll be sending the 485 so the UCSIS receives it during Jun2019, I don’t trust the categories will become current during July2019. This will save as a TON of time and prevent possible separations.
    But I don’t want to waste my money or jeopardize our current i130 petition.

     

    I’m really excited and anxious about this news, I don’t want this 485 to be rejected, but everything indicates that they will be receiving valid applications under the listed filling dates.

    Any advice, comments? Anyone else on the same situation?
