EB2 Predictions (Rather Calculations) - 2012

[Kanmani]

They didn't let loose even President in the matter of BC. I feel happy atleast we have an option for additional documents like affidavits . I am imagining Trump in the place of Alejandro Mayorkas

[harapatta]

you make a valid point..but it doesn't make sense that they should dig that deep specially for Indians...they are already suffering enough with all the immigration mess

please remember it is 'place of birth' and on the nationality........you could be an Indian but born in Nepal.....you wud be considered under ROW since your place of birth is Nepal.....

about concurrent filing, work load makes sense, but concurrent filing might help with getting a better estimate of the filers out there, humble two cents

From the workload point of view, with the finite number of officers and resources, it really does not make any difference to USCIS after a point.
e.g. If USCIS can process 100 applications a day with its resources, it does not really make a difference to them whether they receive 150 or 200 or 500 applications. They will just be processing the applications at full speed every day for a few days longer. It only helps them if the dates don't move even if the number of applications fall under 100 (Read - retrogressed dates even after all the available cases are adjudicated).

With the rapid movements of the past few months, I am sure USCIS has enough applications to make them work full steam already. Having any more applications will just increase the stack and not really make them any more busy.

The concurrency itself is also not much of an issue. Most of the people, who get their labor cleared, file for I140 almost immediately anyways. They don't have to wait for the dates to be current. So, from that perspective, USCIS cannot avoid getting I140s from people whose priority dates are not current yet.

I guess the main issue, about making the dates current, is about getting I485 applications from candidates whose priority dates span a huge time period. Once the application hits USCIS, because multiple officers divide the work-load amongst themselves, an application with a much later priority date say 1/1/2012 may get approved while person from 5/1/2009 is still being processed, creating much uproar.

Gradual approach by CO is, therefore, probably a request from USCIS to keep as much processing sequential (in the order of PD) as possible..

Just my thoughts ..

Another point...who will want to file in EB2I or EB2 C .....if they can file in EB2ROW.....because EB2I/EB3I or the slowest once.....( i meant use fake indian birth)

agreed, i suppose a choice between getting current followed by a steep retrogression, or whether to have a slow and steady progress with little or no retrogression.

I had a similar question a month back even though my date (06/2011) is unlikely to be current anytime soon. I posted my question on all the forums and only Ron responded. You can see the thread: http://www.immigration-information.c...040&highlight=

Basically, Ron said go ahead with CP pay the fees and if the dates do retrogress then you could also do AOS. Keep in mind you will forfeit the CP fees.

In your case, if you do not mind travelling to India for an interview and obtaining police clearance certificates then you should proceed with CP. It is likely most of the pre-processing will be done before your date becomes current and you will be able to schedule interview once the date becomes current. Once that happens Retrogression will have no impact on you.

Hi all,
My PD is Oct 27 210 and I received my NVC fee receipt last week. For whatever reason my attorney had filed my 140 with CP which I had no idea until now.

Our paralegal suggested that we will file a AOS when my dates become current.

Anyways, I have been researching the pros and cons of filing for AOS vs. CP and I am little tempted by the possibility of CP being quicker than AOS. I fully understand that I may lose the benefits of EAD/AP and also the hassle of getting the Meds done in India. PCC, in my research thus far, may not be as much a problem as it can be obtained from the NY Indian Consulate.

So, I am beginning to wonder if I should continue my case as a CP.

Is there any one else sailing in the same boat? Any advice / suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

God has answered my prayers.

Have received the CPO mails for both me and wife. No RFE even though the place of birth in the passport is different from the BC for wife. We have included the affidavits from her mom and dad.

It is a great feeling and relief to know that we can now go for India vacations with out worrying about the stamping and port of entry questions. Already started browsing for ticket prices. :-)

I am trying to understand the following line from http://www.fas.org/sgp/crs/homesec/R42048.pdf

While it is possible that USCIS may be holding on to some approved I-485 petitions, the National Visa Center caseload is the data that drive the priority dates published in the Visa Bulletin each month.

I was always under impression that qualified applications from USCIS are counted towards the demand data along with NVC applications.

Can someone please explain this to me?

Thanks.

Oh wow!!! I cannot believe it. Thank you for informing us about it. This is simply great! I give up. For all my elaborations about inventory, date movement, etc, Mr. CO has something else entirely on his mind I suppose. Could you please let us know the date of your PD?
