发帖数: 7963 | 2 我认为eb1b的话可以file 485 concurrently | T*******y
发帖数: 6523 | 3 Your case looks strong enough.
I think that the risk of concurrent filing is a bit less than PP, and you
can make the most of your money and time, as it seems that concurrent filing
makes the 140 processing quicker, and your fee for 485 is still for your
485, but not used up as the PP fee.
The only caveat for concurrent filing is in the case of a couple. If it's
one person's concurrent filing, the spouse may not have enough time to file
485. But if filing two 485 concurrently with 140, the risk in money is too
much.

发帖数: 6523 | 5 For two 485's, you need to pay 1070*2. If the 140 was denied (I hope not
though), the 485 application would be rejected, and the money would be
wasted.
If for only one 485, $1070 is similar to the PP fee, $1250.

If you and/or husband need the green card urgently, sure, concurrent filing
485. If you could wait a few more months for 140 approval (nowadays 140
seems a lot faster now), I wouldn't risk the $2000+. |
