USCIS has announced that it will honor Chart B for the March 2026 Visa Bulletin, allowing individuals with a pending I-140 in the EB-2 Rest of World (RoW) category to file an I-485 using just the I-140 receipt. This change is significant as it permits applicants to proceed without needing an approved I-140.
Key Details:
- Chart B for March 2026 allows EB-2 RoW applicants to file I-485 with I-140 receipt.
- No approval of I-140 is required to file I-485.
- Caution advised against converting pending EB-2 NIW I-140 to premium processing due to potential delays.
- Premium processing conversion could lead to Requests for Evidence (RFEs), delaying the I-485 filing.
This announcement impacts many immigrants seeking to adjust their status, offering them a crucial opportunity to file their applications promptly. Need help with your immigration case? Visit QuickFiling.us for professional immigration services.
