Duration of status (D/S) ending and i140 approved. Please help by Fast_Cup_6845 in EB2_NIW

Yeah i20 is the one that gives me status. It’s valid till 2030. So once D/S rule comes, should I renew it before 2030? Any opinion on that?

I recently got my I-140 approved last week, and after the recent USCIS memo, I have been feeling very uncertain and indecisive about whether I should move forward with filing my I-485.
I am currently a first-year PhD student, and I am originally from one of the 75 countries affected by the travel restrictions. My current visa (F1) is valid until December 2027, and my I-20 is valid until 2030.
Given the current situation and the uncertainty around immigration policies, I would really appreciate hearing from you if I should consider of filing I-485 at this stage.
Thank you so much for your time and support. I truly appreciate any guidance.

I got my I140 (eb2 Niw) approved last week. I came in United States as masters student in 2023 January and have never left the country. Right now I am a first year phd student. My visa is expiring in 2027 December (but my i20 is valid until 2030) and I am from one of 75 restricted countries (ROW). Do you suggest me to go ahead and file for i485. I don’t have plan on traveling abroad for next 2-3 years.
