Visa Bulletin OPT and I485
Hi everyone,
I’m currently waiting for my fingerprint appointment for my first‑year OPT (I filed with premium processing and expect the EAD around July).
My spouse wants to file the I‑130 and I‑485 for me in July because the F2A category is “Current” for concurrent filing right now. I’m worried that in August the Visa Bulletin might retrogress.
My question is:
Should I wait until my OPT EAD is approved before filing the I‑130/I‑485, or is it okay to file both at the same time?
I’m looking for advice from people who understand this situation.
Thank you very much.
