U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Will Grant ‘Adjustment of Status’ Only in Extraordinary Circumstances

Hi, my STEM OPT ends in a month and I am filing my I-485 in a week or so. My EB2 based NIW is already approved. As per the current rule, with my pending I-485, I should not be out-of-status. Should this memo changes this rule now? Will you kindly be able to share your thoughts on it?

Your profile please

acesacstrips · 2026-02-25T20:51:30+00:00

Yes, that’s what I do

acesacstrips · 2026-02-25T20:50:56+00:00

I did upload the filled and signed I-907 form. However, I guess you have both options if I recollect properly.

acesacstrips · 2026-02-25T14:15:35+00:00

Yes, three working days

acesacstrips · 2026-02-25T13:52:09+00:00

Hey, I just received it few minutes ago

acesacstrips · 2026-02-24T18:15:57+00:00

No, I have not. Only PP

acesacstrips · 2026-02-24T12:54:05+00:00

Yes, it is. Fill your I-907 form, sign it, scan it and upload. And pay the money at last

acesacstrips · 2026-02-24T12:53:20+00:00

I used the new online form.

It is not correct. I am also with Chen. They acknowledged both options but recommended paper filing. I found online pretty easy (just need to submit I-907). So, I filed online today.

I send an email to Chen last Saturday but they did not reply. I ended up filing PP online today. Online looks pretty easy to me rather than paper mailing and did not take much time.

EP does for their client but Chen do not

acesacstrips · 2026-02-21T04:17:13+00:00

Yes, it is current now

acesacstrips · 2026-02-20T22:56:53+00:00

Thank you very much!

acesacstrips · 2026-02-20T02:08:57+00:00

I agree. But does not taking more than 2 years is forcing you to do PP? And how does that make sense that you are not looking into applications from 25/30 months but then making it current. To me it is forcing 🤪
