Thanks for replying. We are just assessing the situation. I wasn’t implying anything in my post about your case buddy. Didn’t state your id because - well now you should be relaxing on a beach, and shouldn’t be dragged here.Quote:

Those are the absolute tension filled days when there were rejections all over. I pray the situation gets better for our friends who are still in line.
I would definitely like to see a rule similar to H-4 EAD where all folks who have the i-140 approved get an EAD instead of going through H1B torture. Then there should not be so much worry even if the GC takes its time.
#5 sounds good for EB-I backlog. If so - then I don't see how visas can go waste.Quote:

True! I was certainly expecting 2-3 months movement. The demand is known and if the FB spill over was available to EB2I then it should have moved further. We still have 2 bulletins left and I expect another month or 2 movement at the very least. CO is being conservative for some reason and we may never know why!Quote:

EB1-I - 08 MAY 2017 - That is almost 11 months, which is certainly a positive sign.Quote:

Do you think there will be further movement in EB3 I for this Fiscal year?Quote:

Movement in Dates for Filing as well.
EB2I is now 15AUG09 (from 01JUL09)
EB1I is now 01AUG17 (from 15MAR17)
This is good news. I think in the last two months date should further advance. Bigger FO SO to EB for next fiscal is applied in summer of 2021? Am I right here?Quote:

That is the only way to prevent porting, which is nothing but a new petition with an old date.
IMO, the filing dates will advance in anticipation of the spill over and it should happen in Q1 2021 fiscal year (i.e. Oct to Dec 2020). Once the demand and supply is known the FAD will keep moving. Typically, filing dates are accepted in Q1 of fiscal year.Quote:

CO always has been conservative and realizes the possibility of porting.Quote:

Advancement of the dates to 01/01/2012 will ensure people up until 2011 end can apply without the need for changing queues. They can hold the dates for 6-9 months.
EB-3 ROW is not current and it keeps on moving. So, no horizontal SO expected to EB-3 I. I'm pleasantly surprised even it moved up to Jun 1,2009. With consulates re-opening slowly in the coming months, the probability of dates moving is much less IMO.Quote:

We all can have our own wish list. It does not mean it has to happen. If you wish let us have the date 01/01/21. The point I am making is to have filing date till the end of a calendar year.Quote:

Hello Guys,
New Here. Got to this forum via search engine (don't ask me which one :)
In the same boat as many of you, if not all. EB2I, PD is in Dec 2012, with a lot of speculations around the spillovers, any predictions/hope when PD could go all the way up to Dec '12.?
Thanks,
hooray!! The optimist in me says just 3 more months before my PD is current.. the pessimist tells me that last time my PD was current was 8 years ago :-DQuote:

Hi Gurus,
My PD became current 06/15/2009 in this bulletin. the RFE with medicals was responded 10/2018 so medicals should be valid for 2 years.
do you guys recommend waiting till Jul 1 when my PD becomes effective to take inquiry actions like Infopass or Level 2 officer?
I guess you intended to say mid 2010 or April 2010 to be specific.Quote:

Filing dates did move! However, they will be relevant starting next fiscal year as that is when they are expected to accept them. There will be some additional movement in the next 2 bulletins. Perhaps another couple of months.Quote:

If CO is not applying spillover to EB2I as he is blind on the demand side, why will he even move dates in the next two bulletins?Quote:

If the field offices open for business next week (June 22nd), then he might get some real demand statistics. It would be interesting to see what he says in the check-in. If he does not say much, then he is just moving dates arbitrarily (and conservatively). Just a theory.
You could be right in the sense that CO used the 2806 number and moved the dates. If that is the case then he can still advance the dates by a few months in the next 2 bulletins. No one can predict and know what is going to happen. We can only hope that the EB2I dates move by another couple of months. Ideally, he should move it to December 2009 considering the FB and horizontal SO , but expecting them to do the right thing is futile.Quote:

Hypothetically if I come back in the future and the PD is ahead of that, is that still good to use for a future filing?
He may not be completely blind. Dates advanced to May 2010 back then, and people filed for 485.Quote:
