The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has officially confirmed that Chart B will be in effect for March 2026, allowing EB-2 Rest of World (ROW) applicants to file their I-140 and I-485 applications concurrently if they meet eligibility requirements. This announcement is significant as it provides a limited opportunity for applicants to secure their priority dates and apply for work authorization.
Key Details:
- Effective date: March 2026
- Eligibility: EB-2 Rest of World applicants can file I-140 and I-485 concurrently
- Benefits: Lock in priority date, apply for work authorization, and secure adjustment filing
- Risk: If the visa bulletin retrogresses next month, this opportunity may no longer be available.
This development is crucial for affected immigrants as it presents a timely chance to advance their immigration status amidst potential changes in the visa bulletin. Need help with your immigration case? Visit QuickFiling.us for professional immigration services.
