Washington, D.C., March 17, 2022: In the recently published April Visa Bulletin, the Department of State advanced the Date for Filing (also known as List B) for adjustment of status based on EB-2 immigrant visa petitions for India from to Sept. 1, 2014.
USCIS is encouraging persons with an approved immigrant visa petition in the EB-2 category chargeable to India and a priority date earlier than Sept. 1, 2014, to consider applying for adjustment of status in April by filing Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status. You should include your Form I-693, Report of Medical Examination and Vaccination Record, with your Form I-485 to save time. You are not required to file Form I-693 at the same time you file Form I-485, but filing both forms at the same time may eliminate the need for USCIS to issue a Request for Evidence to obtain your Form I-693.
USCIS will also now apply an interview waiver option (at USCIS discretion) to accelerate approval of employment-based green card cases.
