EB-3’S WITH PRIORITY DATES PRIOR TO 6/1/05 ARE ELIGIBLE TO FILE I-485’S TODAY

Unless you are a citizen of China, India or Mexico, if you have an application for alien employment certification that was certified by the Department of Labor prior to June 1, 2005 in the Employment Based Third Category (skilled worker or professional), today you are eligible to apply to adjust your status. See the Department of State Visa Bulletin link to the left.

Please also note that the USCIS is no longer accepting I-140 Premium Processing cases in which the employer is seeking a substitution of the alien. Also, if you are requesting that the USCIS request an approved labor certification directly from the DOL that is not included with the original filing, Premium Processing Service is not available in this situation either.
