了解排期积压情况 (EB-3 China)
The EB-3 China queue frequently moves ahead of or behind the EB-2 China queue. This creates situations where Master's degree holders choose to file in EB-3 (downgrade) to file their I-485 forms sooner.
Important Tips:
- The Downgrade Strategy: If your priority date is current under EB-3 but not EB-2, your employer can file a new I-140 under EB-3 alongside an I-485 adjustment package.
- Priority Date Carry-Over: Ensure your first I-140 remains approved for 180 days so your priority date is permanently locked and protected.
- Maintain H-1B/L-1 Status: Even after filing an I-485 and receiving an EAD/AP, it is highly recommended to maintain your nonimmigrant visa status as a safety net in case of I-485 denial.
