Not sure but I have a feeling that the next PD is going to be Jan 01, 2011.
Theoretically there is no need for further movement. But if there's uncertainty in terms of demand, CO could move it as much as he wants. It could be 1 month, 3 months or 12 months....... or nothing at all.

All NIW do not have any relation with J1 waiver. The NIW I am talking about is independent of any J1 waiver. It is for 5 years, you do not need an employer to file and you do not need PERM but you do need employment contract for 5 years.

I now understand the waiver available via NIW (8 CFR §204.12: National Interest Waivers for Physicians Serving in a Medically Underserved Area or VA Facility)
Asked my immigration attorney (one of the largest in the country, not fragomen though) whether my Sep 2010 PD could become current in the next few months. She is always super duper conservative and always uses the phrase 'wait for years on Eb2 India'. Today she said "it is possible". Not saying she has any insights and certainly not asking anyone to become more optimistic but wanted to highlight how confused the entire fraternity is with this rapid date movement.
20k H1's are for MS guys, assume 50% them applied for GC's every year . ie 10k. 50% chances are there 5k are unmarried in that pool or in dilemma to file or rushing for finding girl, this definetely take atleast 6 months to 1 year for them to file.most of them finishes MS by 23 years + 2.5 years OPT + 2 years H1 they start apply for GC=28 years
so since Jan 1st 2008 to Jan 1st 2010 there must be atleast 8k . i.e 17% huge....what do you guys think?
I am not sure, if I understand the correlation with the applicant's age.. (23+2.5+...??)
Since you are looking at the H1B pool.. and since 80% of MS guys applying for H1 come from retrogressed countries.. I would say that applicants would jump at the first opportunity to start the GC process (PERM+I140). The decision of filing for I-485 could be dominated by the marital status but that opportunity was not available to them until a couple of months ago..But the guys are definitely in the queue.
The reluctance of companies to file for PERM etc. because of the economy could be a reason that folks (who would have been eligible) haven't filed for PERM yet. I am not sure if there is a way to track that.. (Guys on H1 but who haven't filed for PERM).
For those worried about date being current before getting married - one piece of advice:
Your spouse can benefit from your PD even after you get your GC. This is called "follow to join". This topic has previously been discussed on the forum. Please search on this one. If I remember correctly Spec had answered these questions in detail.
USCIS Policy Memo on EB-5 Adjudications - Draft posted for comments.
Just received magic e-mail for my 485 case status changed to Card/ Document Production, waiting on spouse 485 case status to change.
Interestingly, my delayed EAD-AP card arrived in the mail today (40 days after approval), can't even enjoy it for a day!.
Teddy, Nishanth to follow and i wish all the best to those already filed and the others waiting to file their AOS.
gkjppp,
I hope you meant 10/2013 in your signature...my PD(03/11/10) is very close to your PD and I hope the worst case situation is 10/2013.
Nope, it is 10/2014 without HR 3012. it takes more than 2 years to clear current inventory, approx 58k cases. Its now or in 2014 for us.Quote:

Assuming USCIS will stick to QSP, yes we will see approvals through out FY2012.
By the time USCIS start processing Dec'11/Jan'12 EB2IC filers, DOS should start seeing lot of VISA requests coming-in than the numbers available, which will trigger the next VB to see retro.
next means Mar bulletin?. I guess it takes 3 to 4 months to reflect in the demand data, i feel it is Apr bulletin.Quote:

And if you take his word then I don't think we should see much/any movement in coming times, IMHO. Don't want to be spoiler :(
Thats old news, even in that CO told "4-6 month gap between filing of an I-485 adjustment application and when a visa number is actually requested and allocated", Let's wait and see.Quote:

Considering the 3-4 month processing time we are seeing now, best case scenario will be April or worst case June.
Hello, I have a question on dependent I485 application. My wife has her own I140 approved, but as my dates became current, applied as dependent on my application. Just got received notices and we see my wife's PD has her actual PD (from her labor and I140), instead of received date. Will there be any issue? Lawyer did fill her A# from her I140 application on 485 and other forms, but I did verify that her application is dependent application. Thanks in advance.
Thank youQuote:

I think the only difference is that the PERM must be submitted within the validity of the PWD rather than within 180 days of recruitment starting, had that been after the PWD was received. Don't quote me on that.
I have no doubt your team will be on top of the regulations.
Best of luck for a speedy and successful process.
It is an issue in the sense that it should either urs or RD. else when processing time comes and here date is not current there could be issues.Quote:

I suggest you talk to ur lawyer.
Not a single post today? :)
I think this is normal. If you notice there should be a line on the rcpt notice that the earlier PDs may not reflect. Since primary & derivatives applications move as one file, it should not delay her case processing.Quote:
