Legal Question in Immigration Law in New York

Hello:

It takes many years for a fourth preference petition to become current. You must wait until it is current to adjust. Since you are on F-1, it would probably be better to go for your H-1B and then PERM.

As I've answered this question a few days ago, no, you can't file I-485 and I765 - because in this visa category you need to wait for your priority date to become current. Mere approval of a brother's I-130 is not enough. What is your priority date and country of birth?

Please don't post duplicate questions on this forum.
