USCIS is dedicated to attempting to use all available employment-based immigrant visas. We are working to identify adjustment of status applications with available immigrant visas that lack a valid Form I-693 (immigration medical examination form).

#FilingTipFriday: As a reminder, submitting a new adjustment of status application is not required to transfer the underlying basis of a pending Form I-485 and will not result in faster adjudication of the benefit request. For more information, visit: https://t.co/tpxrC1zwT9

USCIS expanded elec. adjudication of Form I129 H-1B, and certain H-1B filings will now be assigned IOE receipt numbers. The Service Center that is adjudicating the petition is indicated at the bottom the receipt notice, even where an IOE receipt number is assigned. #uscis

Bonus re EAD FAQs: Even if USCIS approves the expedited processing, it will take several weeks for the documents to be issued. Consequently, it may take at least a month to get an interim document. Plan accordingly! #ead #uscis

[FFAImmigration @ImmigrationFFA]

3/3-Request must be explained clearly, backed up with any docs. Even compelling circumstances with sympathetic parties, USCIS may not grant. Vague requests or requests that show ordinary, predictable outcomes (loss of income), are less likely to be honored. #uscis #ead

[FFAImmigration @ImmigrationFFA]

2/3-USCIS is more likely to honor requests for expedited by schools or federal gov. agencies than requests based on severe financial loss or urgent humanitarian reasons. Also, nonprofit orgs. w/valuable public mission are more likely to have their requests honored. #ead #uscis

[FFAImmigration @ImmigrationFFA]

1/3-EAD FAQs: The first step in placing the expedite request is to call USCIS (1-800-375-5283) and speak to a rep. to request expedite proc. If the applicant must be fingerprinted, USCIS will not consider an expedite request until after the app. has been fingerprinted #ead

[FFAImmigration @ImmigrationFFA]

USCIS is trying to go electronic. What does that mean? Their 5-year plan to enable elec. filing for all apps. and petitions for immig. benefits, accept elec. payments at all filing locations, issue correspondence elec., and improve proc. times for all immig. and natz benefits

[FFAImmigration @ImmigrationFFA]
