They have to retrogess as until SO is guaranteed (which usually takes atleast 6 months ) , by law they cannot give monthly more than allocated.Quote:

How much official information is this? This is another prediction by another lawyer company like David ware sometime ago. Should we believe this?
Fragomen is a biggie. Almost all large companies like IBM use Fragomen for their immigration needs. They cannot simply say something unless CO actually tells them. But then CO has been telling different things at different times, may be because of unknowns. Considering this one came in towards begining of last quarter, it should be close. In my opinion CO should be looking at final numbers towards end of this month (may be ALIA meeting). Anything he says around that time should be more trust worthy.

With Fragmomen news of dates going to 2008, something strike my mind.
Does fingerprinting expire? We gave our fingerprints in dec 2011. and if my dates get current in August, will they call for fingerprint again.
This could cause to miss the boat again...most of 2007/2008 PDs gave finger prints in Nov 2011-march 2008.
July Demand Data is out ......http://www.travel.state.gov/pdf/Empl...utOffDates.pdf

Just heard from CNN, US intelligence have every information of common people like what jeans/watch/shoe do they buy including cell phone, facebook, twitter conversations.
Could it be possible that the background checks of immigrant visa applicant is as same as the above ? Is part of willywonka's post true?
thanks kanmani....that answers my question. no dual Biometrics is neededQuote:

I filed the AR-11 change of address online, yesterday. I also updated the address for pending I-485 application (which was described to as Step 2, in the application). The system generated two codes.. one for the AR-11 and another code indicating address on I-485 application has changed..The last three characters for the I-485 code are CA******NSC.
I am able to enter the code for the generic AR-11 and download the form for my records. I am unable to enter the I-485 code to download the I-485 change of address form. Does anyone know of the link where I can get that?
Also, I did not get any LUDs when I changed the address. Did anyone get the text/emails? My friends told me that you get the letters in mail in about a week. Do the letters include confirmation for both the generic change of address and I-485 profile update?
Thanks!
ChampU,
I received the change of address confirmation, it was a formal acknowledgement to our address change request and no mention on our pending cases.
It was very disturbing to me then, Later I confirmed with the L2 against the I-485 receipt number. Hope this helps.
Kanmani,
Thanks for your reply. I am expecting the formal acknowledgement in a couple of weeks. I will call L2 officer and get it confirmed..Peace of mind is priceless :)

Hey Teddy
Can you please elaborate your prediction of Dates ending this FY between Apr 08-July 08?
Does the CO prediction say - dates moving to maximum of Feb 08 by end of this FY - is there a possibility that dates can move beyond that date?

Once the date moves lets say until dec 2007 then 8K GC's will be issued to EB2I.
I don't think there will be additional 4-5K porters that will be added.
Am i missing something or is it fair assumption?
Nov 2007, You have a new thread......http://www.qesehmk.org/forums/showth...6005#post36005
EB-ROW Porting
I am not sure if any one here knows how much porting is there from EB3-ROW. But if EB3-ROW cutoff date moves into early 2009, would there be less porting from EB3-ROW folks with PD's in 2007 to 2008?
The dates might retrogress, but at least everyone will get an EAD and I am thinking that it should reduce porting from EB3-ROW.
I am trying to figure out the "real" timeline to get GC for EB3 middleman with PD mid-2008.
We all know that once demand will be build CO will stop movement and eventually retrogress PD for EB3ROW.
The only data available to us it's PERM, but I have difficulty to make any gestimate from that data.
Any ideas how many eb3row people actually in line?
I'm eagerly waiting for the July VB to come out with some good news and see some happy faces around once again. Looks like we have to wait till Monday for it! Have a nice weekend - and hope to see lots of happy faces starting next week:-)!!!
Good luck - everyone!!!
July Bulletin is out. EB2-I still at at Sep 04.
http://travel.state.gov/visa/bulleti...etin_1360.html
Really disappointing
"India: At this time it appears that the availability of “otherwise unused” Employment Second preference numbers will allow for movement of this cut-off date in August and/or September. It is expected that such movement will generate heavy new applicant demand, primarily by those who are upgrading their status from the Employment Third preference category. A sustained level of heavy demand could impact the cut-off date at some point during fiscal year 2014."
This tells me that CO wants to limit the porting cases getting ahead of the regular applications. This leaves him with 2 months to use up the numbers which is do-able given that all cases are pre-adjudicated and probably stacked according to the PD. It also tells me that the Feb-08 is actually a conservative date even though the phrase used "as far as" in the Fragomen update suggests otherwise.
However what beats me is the sentence "A sustained level of heavy demand could impact the cut-off date at some point during fiscal year 2014."
Another slap in the face .... Again
Sorry for venting.
Oh well! Life goes on. :)
"indiani/Dec2007" will be very dissapointed with this July bulletin. As am disappointed too. There were lots of hopes on this VB, but EB2I have to keep waiting more time I guess. Now I doubt any SO will be applied to EB2I in this FY. If at all if applied in 2 months time PD will hardly cross 2007JAN I guess. Any way we are well practised to sit calm and wait. One thing we need to learn patience is the key to GC.

What's in his mind. Is he talking about EB3-I upgrade applicants who have not filed 485 yet?Quote:

I think 2012 un predicted demand made him move cautiously this time, kind of not leave any room for changing status to "U".Quote:

Prediction for 2 more months:
"At this time it appears that the availability of “otherwise unused” Employment Second preference numbers will allow for movement of this cut-off date in August and/or September. It is expected that such movement will generate heavy new applicant demand, primarily by those who are upgrading their status from the Employment Third preference category.

No mention of spillovers from any category other than EB2
No mention of how far approximately it can move.
If CO really mentioned something to Fragomen attorneys why not mention that in VB.
This is utter incompetence on their part to run this like they want without any rationale basis.
last year just b'cos of the rapid movements everything got screwed and they want to repeat the same mistake.
This VB not only deeply dissappointed me, it also made me very angry as I can't comprehend the stupid logic they have about not giving even a 3 month chance for first time filers, not capable of organised GC approvals with FIFO.
The accountability is totally absent.
The AILA meeting at the month end is probably only other chance of any further news from CO apart from the actual august and sept bulletins
Never trust politicians and govt officials.Quote:
