    retrogress the EB2

    Someone puts inputs,
    will it affect me


    The Department of State (DOS) advised today that the EB2 India and China category is likely to retrogress in the May or June 2012 Visa Bulletin. Charles Oppenheim, Chief, Visa Control and Reporting, provided this information at an AILA conference on March 16, 2012. Mr. Oppenheim projected that it will become necessary to retrogress the EB2 date back to approximately August 2007.

    The EB2 cutoff set in the April 2012 Visa Bulletin, which is May 1, 2010, is not changed by Mr. Oppenheim's announcement. The changes will occur in the May and/or June Visa Bulletins. We will provide further analysis in an upcoming

    It will affect you , if you dont get your greencard before retrogression. incase dates retrogress to Aug 2007, as mentioned in the article in May bulletion. if you dont get GC by april 30th. you need to wait till you date becomes current again to get the GC....

    Not trying to depress you....just answering your query....hoping you get your GC in next few days...

    No EAD yet, called customer service and received the expected response "call back after 90 days".

    I doubt it. I feel that the left over applicants from Oct, Nov and months before will get their applications processed only when dates retrogress (and when the PD becomes current again of course). This is just a guess.

    I agree. Up until April 30, it's going to continue being a free-for-all. Im slightly pissed off at Fragomen for sitting on my file till Jan -end when I everything good to go by the 10th.

    A naive questions. We see even Q2, Q3, Q4 2008 GCs getting approved on trackit - mostly Jan filers. Then why are Gurus predicting PD Q1 2008 at the end of FY 2012?

    Dear Teddy,

    Congratulations to you and your family on receiving your GC. You, Q and others have given a ray of hope to hundreds of others like me and our families. Really glad to see you receiving your GC.

    RFE response mailed by attorney

    Our attorney mailed my wife's I-485 RFE response yesterday. He said 50/50 for chances of approval this FY (at NSC). I was just curious about how they allot the visa numbers ,especially now that they dont foresee any spilldown and very few visa numbers are supposed to remain for this FY. Is there any monthly allocation, like 9% or so? In that case, wouldnt they have enough visa numbers still left? (54% or more for this FY?)

    Mak - Anyone can get approved while they are current. So that's why you are seeing approvals for later in the year. They will constrain that to only those with earlier PDs by retrogression. That's why CO is going to retrogress to Aug 2007. He wants to make sure any visas in hand right now are given to the earliest PDs. Then when he gets a greater handle on SO, he will keep moving and its a matter of numbers. The other constraint is not wasting any visas.

    Based on calculations, there will probably be just enough to satisfy the demand up to Mar 2008... not guaranteed but most likely. That's why gurus are saying Mar 2008.

    Great explanation. Thanks Viz!
    So it also means that anyone who has filed (theoretically) has a chance to get one until dates are retrogressed (may be matter of couple of months at best).

    Friends, I know there are few people here who filed 140 amendment along with 485. Please share your status..

    No change in my status, curious how long will 140 amendment be approved. I read some where that 140 amendments are taking longer than normal 4 months that is shown on NSC website. Is it true? ...

    See my signature for my details// thanks

    Got my 140 amendment approval yesterday. Took 3.5 months in my case. Same situation as yours - company got acquired just before I was eligible to file my 485.
