USCIS Encourages EB Applicants to File I-485 in April

USCIS is encouraging employment-based visa applicants to apply for adjustment of status (I-485) pursuant to the April 2022 Visa Bulletin.  In April, India EB-2's filing date has advanced for one whole year, while it's final action date has advanced 8 weeks.   USCIS also announced that it will accept I-485 filings based on the Filing Date Chart.  These announcements are to implement USCIS' policy to try to use up all available employment-based visa numbers for the fiscal year.
