USCIS is facing scrutiny over a priority date issue affecting EB-3 India applicants, as one individual reported receiving incorrect information regarding their application. The applicant, who downgraded from EB-2 to EB-3, filed their I-140 and I-485 in October 2021, but their I-485 remains pending despite the Visa Bulletin indicating their priority date has been current since October 2025.
Key Details:
- Priority date: August 12, 2013
- I-140 filed on October 11, 2021, approved in 2023
- EAD and Advance Parole approved in 2023, renewed in March 2024
- I-485 pending at NBC since October 2021
- USCIS incorrectly stated priority date as August 21, 2021, in response to an inquiry in December 2025
