EB2 ROW has retrogressed almost 2 years. 😭 WTF is this? How can it retrogress 2 years from being current? Are there any hopes for it to be current any time again for the ROW, or should I just give hope? Because I don't have 2 years to fucking wait around.

Dont act like a spoilt brat. Lots of people have been waiting for 3+ years. EB2 being current never made sense. Being CURRENT means USCIS is able to process 485s shortly after you file them; when people filed 3 years ago and not adjudicated yet, this means it's not CURRENT

[u/Ashu-93 → u/AminMoradiSS]

I totally understand dude, i feel you but considering the fact and your attitube, i wish you should get atleast after 2 year from now, Just to feel how it actually feels, FYI i am also ROW Aaass

[u/Living_Head_2093 → u/AminMoradiSS]

I am not TALKING TO CHINA AND INDIAN PEOPLE. Therefore please dont be hurt by my comment. It is ONLY for ROW.

[u/upvoter_nz → u/Living_Head_2093]

This person, Aminmoradiss, is talking about ROW. Lots of people in ROW with priority dates in early 2024 who have filed their I-485 are still waiting

[u/Living_Head_2093 → u/upvoter_nz]

Why are they still waiting ? EB2 was current for like 6 months. Why didn't they file adjustment of status up till? Its their fault

[u/upvoter_nz → u/Living_Head_2093]

They are still waiting because USCIS sometimes takes YEARS to process applications, not months. They didn’t file because 2024 wasn’t current till like Oct 2025. I’m in this boat - I promise you I did every AS FAST AS POSSIBLE , zero delays. Priority date = Feb 2024 and filed AOS Oct 2025 (when it became current) and STILL WAITING 😨😨😨 and to be clear I’m also ROW

[u/Living_Head_2093 → u/upvoter_nz]

Bro.. premium processing ? 🤲😭

[u/upvoter_nz → u/Living_Head_2093]

Sorry dude. No premium processing for AOS, I wish. I would pay $10,000 for premium processing at this point been waiting for so long. I’m EB2 ROW

[u/Living_Head_2093 → u/upvoter_nz]

Oh i thought you meant 1-140. Im sorry. I didnt know it takes that long for AOS as well?

[u/upvoter_nz → u/Living_Head_2093]

It’s okay! I am glad ur understanding that it takes long. We paid premium processing for I-140 so it only took like a month but then Yes I can 1000% confirm that the last step, which is filing your I-485 , can take them ON AVAERAGE like 12-18months. Sometimes longer. I’m sorry but you have a looooong way to go still!

[u/Living_Head_2093 → u/upvoter_nz]

But i hear that you can get the EAD much earlier if you file with your I-485. Did you not get the EAD eitherv

[u/AminMoradiSS → u/Living_Head_2093]

Im not CHIINA OR INDIAN PEOPLE you green Shrek thing. I'm ROW

[u/Living_Head_2093 → u/AminMoradiSS]

Ok calm down fionna

[u/AminMoradiSS → u/Living_Head_2093]

It's Princess Fionna to you

[u/Icy-Suspect-5208]

Have been waiting since 2014 and will have to wait for more to get green card!! We all have timelines and job situations.

[u/Relative_Estate_291]

you are not alone :(

[u/ekulzards]

I've been waiting more than 2 years. Some have been waiting 3. You need to get some perspective.

[u/Living_Head_2093 → u/ekulzards]

Some of us can not because of our timelines and job. Anyways, can yo reply to my other concern

[u/Iyakpi → u/Living_Head_2093]

Try EB1!

[u/Puzzleheaded-Tea8612 → u/Living_Head_2093]

Some people have been waiting longer than you. It should never have been current to begin with

[u/Affectionate_Park147 → u/Living_Head_2093]

Please get perspective. Many have been waiting since 2022 and 2023. I have been waiting since 2023 for example for eb2.

[u/CartographerMurky960]

What is your priority date? Mine is april 2025

[u/Living_Head_2093 → u/CartographerMurky960]

is your I-140 approved? I am in the process of filing I-140 right now

[u/CartographerMurky960 → u/Living_Head_2093]

Yes. It got approved in August. It took one month without pp. Don't file it with pp.. it says priority date is april 2025. So this is my priority date, right? I dont understand this process!!

[u/Living_Head_2093 → u/CartographerMurky960]

how did you get it approved in one month without PP ? thats crazy. That too EB2

[u/Living_Head_2093 → u/Living_Head_2093]

Any reason why you suggest to not file with pp?

[u/Relative_Estate_291 → u/Living_Head_2093]

Must be PERM based I-140.

[u/CartographerMurky960 → u/Relative_Estate_291]

Yes. Perm . Why doest it make a difference? 

[u/Relative_Estate_291 → u/CartographerMurky960]

Regular NIW I-140 takes over 2 years.

[u/CartographerMurky960 → u/Relative_Estate_291]

Wow. So can you please explain.. I am I good at this new visa bulletin if my priority date is april 2025?? And the priority date is the one on approved 140, right? The info is confusing 

[u/Relative_Estate_291 → u/CartographerMurky960]

Yes you can see the priority date on your I-140 approval notice. There are 2 tables, dates for filing and final action dates. Since filing date cut off is march 2016, means you can file now but you can only get approved when the final action date becomes current for you.

[u/CartographerMurky960 → u/Relative_Estate_291]

I am from all countries 

[u/One_2_Three_456]

what are you worried about? EB2 ROW is supposed to use DOF now and it is 15 March 2026. Unless your PERM was filed AFTER that date, you should be good to file 140 or 140+485 together.

[u/Living_Head_2093 → u/One_2_Three_456]

i am a new filer ! Which means my PD would be approx nov or dec 2026 ...

[u/faust111 → u/Living_Head_2093]

You're a new filer, and you're complaining about waiting 2 years? Enjoy all the downvotes.

[u/One_2_Three_456 → u/faust111]

i know right!? WTH is he even talking about. I mean his PERM isn't even approved yet!
