I 485 pending, do I need to do something to wake it up since my Final Action Date is now current
I have a EB1B approval (India) with a priority date of Sept 2022. At that time, FAD was current and I had filed for AOS. I had even submitted my medical exam and had biometrics done. Unfortunately, after that the date retrogressed until FAD became current in Jan visa bulletin.
In the interm, I got EB1A approval as well. My attorneys have filed AOS again based on the EB1 approval with the old priority date when DOF became current for me. I received a Biometric Reuse Notice (Dec 16th after the Jan visa bulletin came out when FAD became current) stating biometric is not required. And I have already submitted new medical with AOS filing.
Question - do I just wait atleast 4 to 6 months on my new AOS application (looks like they are doing something about it as I got the biometrics not needed notice) or is there a reason to follow up on my old file to make sure it's moving forward since technically it has been in line for a longer period of time to more chances of getting approved first?
Thank in advance.
