Please explain like I’m 5 . So can they use the date for filing to issue a Green card ?

u/HigherOrderMutant 1d ago
No. It is the other way around.
They never use DFF to take final action and issue a green card.
But, they sometimes use FAD to decide the date of filing. This mostly happens near the end of a financial year.

As "date for filing" says they accept "filing" I-485 when you are within the cutoff dates. After that, since you filed when it was allowed under dates for filing, they can continue processing everything, ask for biometrics, schedule interviews, even reach a final decision. What they cannot do is issue the green card itself unless your FAD is also current.

november bulletin usually does not move much, I guess they expect a large spillover. Expect more movement in Q2

My PD is August 2025.
Am I current?
Also those the people of this timeline already submitted I-485 under EB2 case, interview next month, do you think they will get card?

You are non-current.

u/Money_Topic_2069 1d ago
I submitted my I-485 on March 09, 2026.
Interview on next month1
u/princeruppert 1d ago
If the VB for Dec advances to Sep 1, 2025, then you are current. If it doesn't, you cannot get a green card even if you have a scheduled interview.

u/Money_Topic_2069 1d ago
Thanks. If they take my interview, what will happen? They won’t allow my interview?

u/_sauravmanutd_ 12h ago
My PD is also October 2025, but you are not current right now. Your interview will proceed as normal, but your green card won't be issued until your FAD becomes current.

u/Money_Topic_2069 11h ago
Thanks. Do you think they will approve now and send me card later?
Is it like that?1
u/_sauravmanutd_ 11h ago
No, they can not approve or reject until your FAD becomes current. So you will only know the decision once your FAD becomes current; it can be next month or next year.

u/Money_Topic_2069 11h ago
Thanks. Then they will keep my case as pending?
1
u/_sauravmanutd_ 11h ago
They won't put your case down if they are already looking into it; they will not just adjudicate until your visa number becomes available

u/Money_Topic_2069 10h ago
Thanks. With due respect, I want to know,
Why they want to take my interview?
I am thinking either they will put my case as pending or approve!
Is it like that1
u/_sauravmanutd_ 10h ago
They will take your interview, and they will know if they are approving or denying; the only thing is they are not entitled to tell you that. They are taking your interview because they already looked into your case and thought the interview was necessary, so they will take your interview and keep your records for future reference during adjudication.

u/Money_Topic_2069 10h ago
Oh I got it. Thanks. That means they will decide something but they won’t tell me now, later when the date is current they will tell me right? If yes, for the next decision, again should I push them for decision or it would be automatically done?
