I filed my I-485 adjustment-of-status application when my priority date was current. The Visa Bulletin later retrogressed. Will the USCIS also pause the processing for my pending EAD or AP application?

Answer
No, retrogression does not pause the processing of a concurrently filed EAD or AP application. Additionally, it does not affect the validity of an existing EAD or AP, nor does it prevent a person from applying for extensions. (21.Apr.2026)
