Any idea when EB2-I - Dec 28 2010 is going to be current
Wow! This forum used to be a place where people had meaningful conversations about GC issuance, movement and wastage. Now, it is becoming more and more like trackitt looking at the last few posts. Even the username of the last post has trackit in it.
Maybe it is time to create a thread called "When will I be current?" and dump all these questions in there.
It is still related to predictions isn't it? So lets keep it. If somebody can and would like to answer - they should.

EB2-ROW ------------- Q1 ----- Q2 ------Q3*

Interview Needed -- 24.3% -- 43.4% -- 78.3%

EB3-ROW ------------- Q1 ----- Q2 ------Q3*
Interview Waiver -- 63.2% -- 25.6% -- 13.6%
Interview Needed -- 36.8% -- 74.4% -- 86.4%
* To Date
In general, most cases being processed by USCIS for ROW now require an interview and the times have started to stabilize.
EB3-India only passed the July 2007 PD in the April VB. Unless USCIS decide to give those new applications preferential treatment, they seem unlikely to be approved within FY2018, based on the time it currently takes cases needing an interview.
How long does it take for new applications to receive an interview from application received date?
Thanks Q. It is not about trackit or anything just the frustration on waiting & waiting & waiting ....Quote:

In the meantime number of RFEs reported on trackitt for EB2I 2009 PDs is steadily increasing. I have been around enough to not read too much into it. But certainly gives a feel good factor :)
This is the question that has been on my mind: When is the visa reserved for the applicant? When they are called for the interview or when they are finally issued to the applicant? If it is the latter and as Spec clearly pointed out, EB3I folks needing interviews will not be able to get the GC this FY. So, what happens to those GCs?
June Visa Bulletin is out

and literally no movement for EB2I and EB3I
Not literally true.Quote:

A movement less than to 01JAN09 is unusual and suggests there is too much demand to move it normally.
usually we see the movements in multiples of weeks, so the 4 days movement is strange, is it not? I am not sure we saw this before.Quote:

Yes Jagan, you stole my words. I was thinking about this for last couple of months.
Where is demand coming from.

Is this a conservative movement before huge movement in Q4?
Do we still have porting from EB3 I to EB2 I?
does it mean scope for more wastageQuote:

Since June is the last month of Q3, it's possible that there are constraints against the 27% per quarter law.
Regardless, whichever USCIS Inventory you care to believe (August 2017 is the last one that really made sense), December 2008 had significantly more cases than earlier months in 2008.
Possibly EB2-I cases with December PD could have interfiled when Filing Dates were last allowed in December 2016, but they could not have been approved until now.
In addition, until a few months ago, December 2008 PDs Final Action Date hadn't been current since October 2014.
True... I think there are atleast 700-1000 of Eb2I quota still left and I guess will be ready to use starting July 1st(last quarter) which will take date to Feb 1st 2009. Im still not sure about SO coming to EB2I.

I strongly believe in doing something is better than doing nothing at all.
I would be happy to have a constructive discussion with you offline if you wish to know specifics of the lawsuit.
Peace!
Interfiling just means informing USCIS that you wish to use a different I-140 category as the basis for adjudication of the already existing I-485 application.Quote:

As far as I am aware, it is the receipt date of the I-485 that determines whether an interview is mandatory.
For almost all EB3 to EB2 India porting cases, the I-485 will have been filed before the cut off date of March 7, 2017.
Thank you, These application would be showing up in April 2018 inventory to predict the movement?Quote:

Porting is literally happening every day. It may have slowed down only recently with the rapid EB3I movement, like someone in late 2008 EB3I may now choose to wait it out instead of porting but others like him may have ported AFTER March 7, 2017 and are filing AOS for the first time.Quote:

If EB2-I are moved into 2009 in Q4, will there be sufficient time to respond to those RFE's on time by all pending applications?.
I am sensing moving dates in Q4 will lead to wastage of Visa numbers.
1. Many people until Mar 2009 have either gotten RFE or are receiving them as we speak.Quote:

There are at least 4000 people in the first 3 months of 2009 and hence they might be able to consume a good SO. Now if the SO is going to be more than 4000 then you might be correct.
The bigger question is what happens to the EB3ROW spillover. I think it is fair to assume the EB3I inventory build up is not sufficient.

Some of them may be trying to convert to EB Category ? Any thoughts on this.

There might be some in-flow especially into EB3 category but it wouldn't be noticeable. I think I have seen some farm companies filings for lot of perms for folks from Haiti a while back. I think it's Perdue farms some something like that.Quote:

Technically the visa numbers won't get wasted. The left over numbers in Employment category, if any will get allocated to family based category for FY 2019.Quote:

Even if 0.5% of them try to get into EB3 Category, it would effect EB3 noticeably and therefore EB2.
Any thoughts.

Does this mean USCIS want to exempt the interview for some of the post 3/2017 EB/FB applicants and process them quick. Will it not impact the SO, if there is any?
It just brings the Policy Manual into line with the new interview waiver guidelines.Quote:

Spec,
do u think there will be SO from EB2M and EB2P this yr and flow into EB2I?
Last FY year both Mexico and Philippines used only half of their allotted quota. Still EB2 I ended up with only 2879 (75 more than the mandated 2804). South Korea got the bulk. This year it is already 9 months and so far the EB2 I movement is very sluggish. July bulletin is the last big hope for EB2 I this FY.Quote:
