Hi, PD is 10Aug2014 EB3, china, this morning attorney told me even the Date for Filing in March 2016 is 01May2015, he still can't file my i-485, it will get rejected. why is so?

The USCIS announced on Feb. 11, 2016 that for adjustment of status applications filed in March 2016:
For Family-Sponsored Filings:
Applicants may use Dates for Filing Visa Applications Table for March 2016.
For Employment-Based Filings:
Applicants must use the Application Final Action Dates Table in the Department of State Visa Bulletin for March 2016 (not the Filing Date Table)
Thank you very much!! that makes sense!
