With 100K spillover from FB to EB in Q1 2022 FY finial action dates will move 6 months for EB3 and 3 months for EB2 but the Question is whether filing dates open again in Q1 2022 FY.
guys like me who changed employers will we be able to file again in Q1 2022
my only hope is how much Q4 2021 spillover moves dates for EB3 and then Q1 Final action dates moves for Q1 2022 peiod.
I think looking Q1 2022 beyond a potential spill of 100K+ from FB is too early now. Any kind of valid predictions can be done only after July 2021 bulletin.Quote:

If they follow the law as written, they will use all the spillover. I know I am skeptical too because of the massive amount of numbers available to use, but let's give the new admin a chance before we start throwing bricks at them. We can either be hopeful and optimistic or miserable moving forward. I admit I also get into these dark phases periodically where I think it's all going to get wasted and honestly I am not thinking this just from my perspective; I am in a lot better shape with May 2010 PD than other in 2012, 2013 etc who are looking at extraordinarily long wait times compared to those of us in 2010 so that's whom I have concern for. So hope for the best and prepare for the worst.Quote:

National Benefits Center
I have the same view about EB-2 but for EB-3 I think it is not possible that it advances so far out compared to EB-2. If it does, aren't they going to get 1000s of concurrent filings from EB-2 folks who haven't already downgraded? Maybe it will happen for 1 month and retrogress severely?Quote:

That is not entirely correct. I am a 2012 filer and all my combo cards were for two years except the most recent one which was approved last month.Quote:

if EB2 I moves to May, shoudnt we add 6 months --Nov 2010 for EB3.
Let the eggs hatch my dear. We can talk about chicken Biriyani?s later. Lot of people from 2010 got RFE in 2018 and we had planned a buffet with lot of chicken dishes. Little did we know USCIS chickened us out.Quote:

Now only if someone with EB3 -I Nov 2010 also receives an RFE you would be onto some trend . I will let you know as soon as I get an RFEQuote:

I think I will take a Hariyali Kabab :-)Quote:

well. 4-5 months will pass by in a jiffy by June 2021 we should be knowing if eggs are hatching are not..hope so they will hatch. 120 K spillover is once in a lifetime never happened before and might not happen before aswell from FB to EB. if this 120k doesnt help us, then we need divine intervention to change GC country cap limits removal.
Just Keep praying!! Just like Gabba fortress is breached, we can Breach our Immgration backlogs!!
Been current since November 2020 with Sep 2009 PD. No RFE so far and last RFE was back in 2016.Quote:

I am asking because many people will be in same situation sooner or later.
2009 are out of equation they are bound to get GC sooner or later!! we are only talking abt 2010 eb2 eb3
you are guaranteed to receive GC with 120K spillover
Raised an SR and got standard response that they are reviewing the case and should hear from them in 90 days. In the meanwhile, I had to renew my combo card and got its approval last month.Quote:
