⏳ EB-3 Skilled Worker Pending - India PD Sept 2013

⏳ **Case Status: Pending** --- An India-born applicant with a September 2013 priority date filed I-485 in October 2025 and subsequently interfiled from EB-2 to EB-3 using a 485J after a new EB-3 I-140 was approved in January 2026. The case was transferred to Santa Ana Field Office in late February 2026 and remains pending with no RFEs, EAD, or AP issued yet. The applicant is seeking confirmation that the transfer of underlying basis (TUB) has been processed correctly. This case involves an EB-2 to EB-3 interfile (Transfer of Underlying Basis / TUB) for an India-born applicant with a September 2013 priority date. The I-485 was filed in October 2025 along with 485J, I-131, I-765, and I-693. A new EB-3 I-140 was approved in January 2026, and the 485J interfile request was submitted in early February 2026. The case was subsequently transferred to Santa Ana Field Office in late February 2026. As of the post date, some FTA0 notices have appeared on the I-485 and related forms, but no RFEs have been issued and no EAD or Advance Parole has been granted. A key concern is verifying—via USCIS Emma live agent or other means—whether the I-485 has actually been re-linked to the newer EB-3 I-140 rather than remaining tied to the original EB-2 I-140. --- **[📎 View Original Post](https://www.reddit.com/r/greencard/comments/1vlx2iz/question_about_eb2_eb3_interfile_process/)** *Source: Reddit EB-3 search* --- *This post was automatically curated from online sources to share real case experiences with the community.*
