I-485 Interfile vs Refile New Application? (Employment based)

[pagetrip]

Hello all,

My priority date is July 2014.

• I have both EB 2 and EB 3 I-140 approvals
• I-485 application filed in Oct 2020 under EB 3 with a new I-140 application. EB 3 I-140 approved 7 months ago.
• My employer has agreed to interfile on June 1st 2022 to move from EB 3 to EB 2 as my priority

Hi,
I downgraded from EB2 to EB3 in Oct 2020 when dates for EB3 jumped ahead. My EAD is approved, but I-485 is still pending.

My priority date is now current in both EB2 and EB3.

Recently I saw this post from USCIS.
