Applicant with December 2013 priority date filed I-485 under EB-3 when Dates for Filing was current, but EB-2 Final Action Date is now current while EB-3 is not. They are pursuing an interfile/transfer of underlying basis to EB-2 and observed a silent I-485 update on April 3, 2026. They are asking about uploading the interfile request as unsolicited evidence via USCIS online account.
Applicant holds both approved EB-3 and EB-2 I-140s from the same employer with a December 2013 priority date. I-485 was filed in October 2025 under EB-3 using the Dates for Filing chart. As of April 2026, EB-2 Final Action Date has become current for this PD while EB-3 has not, creating a strategic reason to request an interfile to EB-2. Attorney is preparing the interfile packet but has not yet filed. A silent system update appeared on the I-485 on April 3, 2026 with no visible status change. The applicant is exploring whether uploading the interfile request as unsolicited evidence to their USCIS online account in parallel with the attorney's physical mailing would be beneficial.

Silent I-485 updates (no visible status change) are commonly observed when USCIS performs internal routing, officer assignment, or background check milestones — they do not necessarily indicate imminent action but suggest the case is being actively touched. For interfile requests, USCIS generally accepts unsolicited evidence uploaded via the online account, though adjudicators are not obligated to act on it before a formal RFE or interview. Filing via both channels (online upload + attorney physical packet) is a recognized dual-track approach. December 2013 PDs have been subject to significant retrogression volatility in recent bulletins; cases in this cohort should monitor monthly Visa Bulletin Final Action Dates closely as movement can be reversed. Processing timelines for interfiled cases can vary widely — some report faster adjudication once EB-2 becomes current, while others see delays if the interfile request requires additional review.
