There is a likelihood of ~7000 unused FB green cards coming to EB3ROW this year (we will have a better idea in 10 days). But we do not know what will happen to that extr a 7000 GCs. Will it all be gobbled up by EB3ROW? Or will it all come to EB3-I? If the latter, there is a small likelihood of EB3-I filing dates reaching June 2010.Quote:

I am asking to see if there would any little movement on EB2I in the near future due to the spillover.

Q, Spec,
Appreciate if you can comment on the EB3I filing dates movement in the next year ?
If you see July 18 I-485 inventory, from may only 5k-6k people are left in the inventory, by end of FY 2020, all the 2009 EB2 will be cleared. I assume many people might have been downgraded to Eb3, it definitely clear the 2009 backlog in a year or two.Quote:

As all EB India categories are retrogressed so it is expected to use exactly 7% in EB and usage in FB is slightly below 7%.
In FY 2018 FB India consumed 14,935 vs quota of 15,820 so there is under usage of 800 in FB category. Prior years EB1/Eb5 consumed more than 7% due to horizontal spillover so EB2/3 didn't get additional numbers and but now Eb1/Eb5 also retrogressed there is possibility to get additional numbers for Eb2/3. is this assumption correct?
Also if there is additional 7000 spillover from FB to EB for FY20 that will get additional 490 ( 7% 0f 7000).
I know these are small numbers 800+500 = 1300 but this number is half of Eb2 Quota.
Also Spillover of 7000 from FB to EB may cause some horizontal spillover for Eb2/3. Experts please provide your opinion on this !
I thought the spill overs don't have the 7% limit but allotted to the most regressed country in each category. I am ignorant in this area.. ignore if i am dreaming about that.

Is this a new pattern that we are seeing in the current administration to apply rules in a random fashion ?Quote:

Even with new fiscal year and new set of numbers, why is it moving just by 1 day. Im just glad they are accepting Filing dates and for the first time in life I was able to apply for EAD/AP. My PD is EB2-I May, 22 2009 and I’m only 10 days away. God when is it going past May 23 2009 ?
Unfortunately the INA specifies the upper limit. It does not say they must allocate the visas. So the administration can take its sweet time to "VET" every single applicant.Quote:

That is not quite so easy as they have to file a labor to get into EB2/3Quote:

I agree with the ~700 per quarter. But even with that number of ~200/month should we not expect more movement for EB2I? I thought of atleast 2 to 3 days movement every month

With only annual quota, the EB2-I will take another few years to move into 2010. Downgrading is not going to accelerate if EB2-I stays ahead of EB3-I.Quote:

I think EB1-A and EB1-B can do EB2-NIW without PERM. EB1-C need the PERM. Every Tom, Dick and Harry get their PERM approved in EB2/EB3. I don't see why someone that from EB1-C can't. It does add a few months to get it done.Quote:

Salary requirement. The PERM managerial salaries are much higher, usually. Probably the ROW candidates are promised GC in lieu of more salary.Quote:

Because it is not spillover in the sense you mean. Spillover between EB categories is described in INA 203(b) and spillover to 7% limited Countries is described in INA 202(a)(5).Quote:

(d) Worldwide level of employment-based immigrants
(1) The worldwide level of employment-based immigrants under this subsection for a fiscal year is equal to-
(A) 140,000, plus
(B) the number computed under paragraph (2).
(2)(A) The number computed under this paragraph for fiscal year 1992 is zero.
(B) The number computed under this paragraph for fiscal year 1993 is the difference (if any) between the worldwide level established under paragraph (1) for the previous fiscal year and the number of visas issued under section 203(b) of this title during that fiscal year.
(C) The number computed under this paragraph for a subsequent fiscal year is the difference (if any) between the maximum number of visas which may be issued under section 203(a) of this title (relating to family-sponsored immigrants) during the previous fiscal year and the number of visas issued under that section during that year.
Then INA 203(b) determines that the computed Worldwide level for EB is split:
EB1 - 28.6%
EB2 - 28.6%
EB3 - 28.6%
EB4 - 7.1%
EB5 - 7.1%
Any calculation for the 7% per Country limit is made after the Worldwide levels have been determined.
As for FY2013, this is the document of rough numbers published by DOS. Ultimately, the actual figure was 158,466
Attachment 1533
Looks like all the dates are current except for EB2 India/China and all EB1's. They should already KNOW demand data for EB2 and Eb3. So why is USCIS still accepting filing dates ? Not that I'm complaining considering I got to file my 485 for the first time under EB2-I (May 22, 2009). But just curious.
it looks more like a decade than a few years to move dates to 2010.. 2010 has a lot of folks. It will probably come to a grand halt. At this point downgrade isnt going to change the slowdown. Slow down in the name of vetting will affect the line for decades.Quote:
