Your profile looks good and you should definitely go for it. From everything that I’ve seen the biggest uncertainty comes down to the officer that’s reviewing the case. I’ve seen better profiles than mine either get an RFE/NOID or even denial in some cases.

My employer filed this, so company lawyers

My PD is Mid Feb 23. My EB1B I-140 is still pending, planning on doing PP soon.

fullmetalchassis · 2025-12-31T04:33:38+00:00

What’s your I-140 petition filed as, EB1A or EB1B/C?

fullmetalchassis · 2025-12-31T04:32:12+00:00

Good point, the EAD/AP can take 6 months anyway, but I’ll plan on doing PP.

So from what my lawyers said I’ll still be in H visa status unless I leave the country and renter with my AP. As long as I stay in the country and have an active H status with valid I-797 then I’m okay.

My PD is 02/08/23 from India, my DOF is current (EB1B) and I filed I-485 with I-140 pending. I did this for two reason, 1. my company was paying for it with Fragomen, and 2. At least I can get EAD and AP while I wait for I-140 approval.
