I am in a bind right now. My priority date is December 2013 EB2 India. Considering final action dates for EB3 in October my date was current. Hence I am in process of filing a EB3 downgrade and AOS. However the November visa bulletin has retrograde the dates to Jan 2012 for EB3. Many are saying EB2 will move ahead than EB3 eventually. With this background should I just cancel the downgrade plan or at least get the EAD and AP while at it? I have my EB2 I-140 approved.

You can interfile EB2, if EB2 goes ahead. Essentially, you are in both queues now. On a side note, people who have the done this is the reason we are going to add 10+ years to everyone's wait times.

I am current interviewing with Visa and they started the background check before the final round. The recruiter called me saying she’s already have an offer ready but I have to go through one final interview with the VP. However, he has been out of the office for the past two weeks. She mentioned they are not interviewing anyone else for the position, but I keep seeing the position being posted over and over again on LinkedIn. Any thoughts? I have other offers in the table.

How do you answer the question about yourself in i-944 where you can indicate "self" and it asks you if you live with said individual "self", and if this individual is filing for an immigration benefit with you or has in the past (again it's weird because you're talking about yourself.. ).
