Guys,
My gut feeling they will move many months in July 2011 visa blletion. They have to build inventry to have smooth process in upcoming years as the EB2I/C are the only group going to consume un-used visa number according to the law. They are not going to create any more 2007 Julys that said they will move at least one year by sept bulletion. I will challenge all gurus here.If my predictions are not i will come back in sept and i will say sorry.
There is no need to challenge anyone. You are saying that the chances are 100% for the cutoff dates to move to June'2007. The first page predictions are that there is more than 50% chance that the dates will move to April'07. That predictions was arrived at after giving due consideration to the perm data, demand data, inventory data, trackitt data, etc. In toto the difference between what you say and what is predicted on the first page is only 2 months and about 50% in probability. All the predictions are accommodated here provided they are supported by facts and numbers. Cheers.Quote:

Veni - any specific reasons why rule of thumb changes to PD + 6yr after July 2007? At least for years 2008/09 I would think it will be PD + 4.5/ 5 years. Number of PERM filings are supposed to be "low" in those years after all :)Quote:

I know at least a couple of guys who had left for India for good after the 140 approval. I believe that number would be at least 25% of the pending inventory due to the 2008/09 downturn. Same with people with PD of 2008 & 2009. We can see a big movement in the coming months. I expect end of 2008.
These guys would have option to apply under CP?Quote:

What we predict here is the date upto which the backlog will be cleared this year. I do agree that the date movement could be much further than that!! The only caveat is that the date will bounce back (retrogress) if they move it too further into future.

Working with the same employer, initially as a contractor(1-Dec-2004) and then Full time(12-Sep-2006) and then moved to work in India(1-Feb-2010) and now confused as to what to go for CP or AoS, my H1 valid till 15-Aug-2012. They are willing to processes either option based on my preference. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated and thanks in advance!
Its your personal choice first of all. AOS means coming back to US. I hope you are aware of that.
So if I green card is very important to you, then you may come back to US after 1 year so that you can file as EB1 and get your GC within 6 months or so.

Please let us all know....People started getting these mails from March 2011...
Dude... I think ur question was which is better CP/AOS... They both have their own adv and dis adv... I suggest you read the articles from murty.com about this.... My personal opinion is to go for CP so that you will get your GC as soon as ur dates become current and not wait till your file gets picked up IO... I also say this because there is a danger of dates retrogressing once moved forward rapidly ... If u do decide for CP pay the fees soon so that your case would be shifted to NVC now itself...just my 2 cents... Please take suggestions from ur lawyer too rather than depending on people from forums to take final decision....Quote:

For a Dec'07 PD, I think you have to wait until 2012 to be current.
I cud see ppl predicting that dec'07 can be current by Sep'11 in this forum.
Is there a chance of being current this year?
The trackitt based SOFAD calculations updated at http://www.qesehmk.org/forums/showth...=1716#post1716
No significant change. The trackitt trend is holding.
Q, Teddy, Veni, Spec, Gc and All of you "NUMBER CRUNCHERS",
I appreciate the effort spent by all of you in educating us regarding demand data, PD movements etc.
My Situation is this:
I am one of those in EB2 "NON VISIBLE DEMAND" .
My chargeability is India, I have an approved EB3 I-140(PD FEB 27, 07), on the basis of which I have applied for I-485 in AUG 07. BUT I have also an approved EB2 NIW I-140, which is already linked to my A#. I will be filing Interfile paperwork pretty soon, Ihope.
Does any of you think this hidden DEMAND would be significant ?
regards,
SLOWWIN
My PD is early Oct'07 so am in the same boat as you. From my reading on this forum and others, dates may move till May'07 by Sep'2011 bulletin. As per Teddy, in order not to waste visas for 2012 spillover, dates will be moved to early-mid 2008 latest by April'2012 so as to allow time for 485 processing. It could be earlier too ..so I think we should get a chance to file 485 any time between July'2011(best scenario) to April'2012(worst scenario). Gurus please comment.Quote:

So why are we still not confident in saying that we will cross into 2007 end?? PWMB/Porting shouldnt be of much worry for the last quarter as they can't assign...Quote:

We don't know how much SOFAD is already applied. Rather than making a wrong assumption about something we don't know, its best to look at full year number and then predict.

Best

As far as I remember there was a gudeline for spill over which restrict USCIS to be under the country limit till Q3.tweak in that guideline predicts that it could be bigger than previous years.I hope it crosses that July/August Mark.
Nice work Q.Quote:

As ever, it is still the EB1 performance that holds the key.
May approvals were extremely low compared to March and April. See http://www.qesehmk.org/forums/showth...011-vs.-FY2010
I am still half expecting another glut of approvals before the end of the year, which will bring the figure down. Of course, that may not happen, which makes the figures in the table entirely reachable.
