| Title: Halting Concurrent Filing of Form I-140 Immigrant Petition With a Form I-485 Application | |
| Abstract: The Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, is proposing to amend its regulations concerning employment-based immigrant status. Under the current regulations, published at 67 FR 49561, employers may file a Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status (I-485) concurrently with Form I-140, Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker (immigrant petition), while the immigrant petition is pending; or after the immigrant petition has been approved, as long as a visa number is immediately available to the alien. The Department is considering modifying the current system to disallow concurrent I-140 and I-485 filings and instead mandate that an alien worker applying for adjustment of status be the beneficiary of an approved immigrant petition prior to filing the adjustment application. | |
