Approved I-130 notice noted APPLICANT not eligible for AOS. Now PD is current; DO YOU THINK THAT WAS B/C PD WAS NOT CURRENT?

This question was previously posted. Contact a US immigration attorney for assistance.

You can file for AOS as indicated on the second table when your eligibility date comes. No need to wait for PD unless USCIS indicates in a given month when you file that you have to wait for PD since they do not have enough visas available.

This may have been a USCIS error. They happen. However, I agree with the previous answer. Take your documents to an experienced immigration lawyer, so that they can review your case in detail. You may have to pay a consultation, but it beats wasting the $1,070.00 filing fee if your case is denied.

My response to your question is general in nature, as I don't know all of the facts of your case. You should retain an attorney experienced in immigration law to review all the facts in your case in order to receive advice specific to your case. In addition, my answer does not create an attorney/client relationship.

You are a grad student at Princeton. You are smart enough to understand an attorney cannot evaluate your status and eligibility without seeing the paperwork and speaking to you. I suggest you make an appointment with an immigration lawyer before filing anything else.

If you have an approved Family based (F2A) FORM I – 130 and the visa is current and you have remained in status to this point then you can file the FORM i – 485.

Without seeing the paperwork, it would be speculation
