(India) EB3 priority date current July 2024. Help

Hi guys -
My priority date is current as per the latest July 2024 Visa bulletin in EB3
I had earlier filed for my I-485 and the I-485-J but then the dates had retrogessed last year so I got a notice from USCIS saying they are pausing work on my case till a visa number becomes available.
Now that my priority date is current, what should I do ? The lawyer told me we have to wait.

Thanks

You don’t need to do anything. USCIS will automatically pick your file.

You cannot do a whole lot other than waiting. In case you do not see enough traction with the passage of time, you can explore the following:

  1. Call USCIS and ask for a call with tier 2 officer
  2. Submit medicals if you haven’t. They are not going to expire
  3. Reach out to your Congressional offices for case assistance
  4. Submit request online with Ombudsman

  5. Contact WHdotgov. Select Help with federal agency
  6. Look into WOM
