My hunch is that they would make it 'C' in september and then retro. That way, they get 4 years + of visibility again.
Another reasoning i have is the political environment we are in right now (lots of talks all around regarding skilled immigration; bills coming up; looked up as bipartisan issue etc etc....)
This is quite similar environment we had in 2007. We all know that chances of some bill passing is like 1 in a decade , but if something comes up, USCIS/DOS need to be ready to face the storm anyway.
Anti-Immis. who oppose all immigrant bills could also influence this... by making it current, all get 485s and shut up about immigration :D
Third, they have already streamlined 485 filing (all apps filed to TX center etc.. etc..) which helps them.
Ultimately, as all of us know, its just a guesswork.
Good luck to all of you here...
I wish all of you guys who filed 485 already, get GCs soon; and others get a chance to file 485
