My date is 10th December 2007. One day it gives me a feeling that I will be able to make it in FY 2012 and the very next day it feels like it is not possible. Gosh, the trend is so oscillating.

As someone calculated earlier in this thread,people with PD upto Dec2007 are highly likely to file I-485 in FY12- they may not get GC in FY12 though.
I think this is more likely.
Hello Guru's
I am sorry to ask the same question but with October bulletin and date moment are we inline with below figures or do we need to update the below figures
Below are the numbers from Spec in previous post's.
Remaining from FY2011 - 8,332 (spread April 15 to Aug)
------------------- SOFAD
------------------ FY2012
Not including any Porting
April 2007 -------- 1,293
May 2007 ---------- 3,498
June 2007 --------- 6,282 (without spillover or Porting) FY2012 would end in June 2007)
July 2007 -------- 10,675
August 2007 ------ 12,860
September 2007 --- 14,778
October 2007 ----- 16,975
November 2007 ---- 19,010
December 2007 ---- 20,888 (if porting were 5,000 then 25,888 visas required to clear Dec 2007)
January 2008 ----- 23,453
February 2008 ---- 25,870
March 2008 ------- 27,856
April 2008 ------- 30,259
May 2008 --------- 32,482
June 2008 -------- 34,372
July 2008 -------- 36,174
August 2008 ------ 37,947
September 2008 --- 39,584
October 2008 ----- 41,669
November 2008 ---- 43,403
December 2008 ---- 45,226
Until September 2007 i don't think we have pending of 14,778 applications,even if we do PWMB+Porting+pending applications i am thinking of around 10,000 applications...
Please let me know if this is not true.
sai,
Specs estimated EB2IC 485 numbers are based on I+C monthly PERM approvals after July 2007 with PD2007.
Q,
The move is in line with what you and spec debated for some time.....post#6895 (page 276)
Here is MurthyLawFirms take on October VB...
"Essentially, mid-August 2007 was as good as things ever got for EB2 India and China. The cutoff dates again are approaching this point, and many I-485s for EB2 India and China have been approved in the past few months. Thus, the anticipated demand is low enough that the universe of pending I-485 cases eligible for approval can be expanded, allowing for additional case filings. Since there is a lag between the filing of an I-485 and adjudication of the case (at which time the visa number is utilized), the DOS is temporarily advancing the cutoff dates to allow a fairly large number of I-485 cases to be filed. This is the reason the dates for India and China advanced by three months at the start of FY12. Any further movement of the priority dates (PDs) will depend upon whether the new filings are approved quickly. When the demand meets or exceeds the visa number supply, the cutoff date movement will slow, stop, or potentially even move backward. "
Veni, this line from murthy concerns me, not sure what they mean. If this is true then further movement would only occur in Q3/Q4, if they mean GC by approval, or if they mean eligible to appear in demand data, that also would take 3 months at least:
"Any further movement of the priority dates (PDs) will depend upon whether the new filings are approved quickly. "
Hi All, In a real pickle here :-( ...my PD is Sept 06 (NSC, India, EB2) and current since 1st June. Out of sheer stupidity, unrealistic optimism, and news of the flood of people receiving their GCs, I waited till 2 months before EAD expiration to file for EAD renewal for myself and spouse. So my EAD expires at the end of this month (just 2 weeks away) and my company has been sending reminder emails for the new EAD (last time - 2 yrs ago - badmashaan never cared). Contacted congressman's staff, they got no response from USCIS. Created SR at USCIS for EAD expedite (forwarded them company letter about jeopardized employment), still waiting to hear back from them. To rub salt on wounds, folks from PD of March/April of 2007 are being given GCs. Anxiety killing me.
Is there any sliver of hope I can cling to? Will appreciate any suggestions. Heck even funny uplifting poetry would do. Here's one I heard:
Qismat mey 'gar likha ho pait mey injection lena,
Toe Oont pe baithke nikle bhi toe kutta ek din kaatinga.
[If it is destined in your fate to receive injections in tummy (or not receive GC/EAD),
Then even if you ride high on a camel (or create SR, contact congressman), a dog will eventually manage to bite you (no GC/EAD)]
muntazir how about infopass to know what's going on with your case?
Can an extension of EAD save you from jeopardizing your employment?
I would also recommend keeping a record of all communication ... so that if you lose your employment because of these delays and choose to sue USCIS then you have something to show.
Really sorry to hear your case. Did you contact IV too ... just in case?
I don't know whether gurus have posted the new statistics of PERM. Last year there were 28000 non-India/China PERM filed in the first nine months.
We can make an estimation of the demand from ROW. South Korea has a higher demand than China, but they have no retrogression at all.
