According to USCIS FAQ on July 27, if an I-140 is e-filed by July 31, the applicant will be eligible to reserve July priority date and the applicant and its family members will be eligible to file I-485 at any time before August 18. After efiling, an applicant is allowed 7 business days to deliver the supporting package to USICS. Therefore, if you can e-file from now (July 27) to July 31, you have a full week to prepare the supporting documents to send in the I-140 package and also reserve the eligibility to file your I-485 before August 18. This offers tremendous benefits for those falling behind the schedule in preparing the recommendation letters and petition letters. Please remember, for I-140 filing, if you e-file on July 30 or later, new filing fee ($475) applies. I-485 filing fee will remain unchanged until August 17.

At law firm of Zhang & Associates, PC, more than fifty professionals have been working hard to assist our clients to meet the critical deadlines. In order to provide quality service to our clients, we have suspended case intake during the last week.

We provide petition letter drafting service now.

As we have made all proper arrangement for our existing clients, the firm has limited capacity to take selected type of cases. Our firm now may assist those who can efile or have efiled by him/herself, and have all recommendation and supporting documents ready, but need legal expert’s help to draft petition letters. We will take case on selective basis and try our best to help those have put efforts in preparing supporting documents. We understand the critical role the petition letter plays in a successful NIW/EB-1A petition, and we understand it is difficulty for non-trained peer applicant in drafting a well-organized petition letter.

If you have recommendation letters ready, and have or will efile before July 31, and you need urgent assistance in drafting petition letter, you may e-mail your questions or concerns to Li at @hooyou.com">llemburg@hooyou.com. Moreover, you may visit our Houston offices on Saturday or New York Offices on Saturday (July 28) and Sunday (July 29), or July 30 and July 31 on both offices. We have open houses on above schedule on two offices. Managing attorneys Jerry Zhang (Houston office) and Attorney Jian Joe Zhou (New York Office) will be available to discuss your case. No appointment is necessary.

Then, you can still file your I-485 in August.
