No. Under CIS guidelines, inquiries may not be made on a case unless the priority date is current. Back to Top Q: If my I-485 application is still pending, and my priority date is no longer current, will USCIS still issue a fingerprint notice and/or RFE? A: They may. CIS can still process the case but cannot approve it until the priority date is current. Therefore, you may receive requests for evidence or fingerprint appointments. It is important to comply with these requests. Even though the case cannot be approved, it can be denied for failure to provide information or show up for fingerprinting.
