Requesting File transfer to the US once priority date becomes current

[Alore01 0]

Hello folks,

 

As the title suggests, I have been waiting for my consulate interview to be scheduled since Feb 2022. My priority date is Dec 2015. I have since moved to the US for work. I will be in the US for a while. I have a couple of questions:

 

• When my priority date becomes current, I will request the file to be transferred from Canada to the US. Is the form that needs to be filed is I-485?
• How long will that take?
• Will I be subject to retrogression?
• What other factors would delay my process since I am not in Canada anymore?

 

Thank you for your input.

You want to adjust status in the US, then you can file an I 485 once your PD for adjustment is current.
