Here's the comparison I get for H1 comparing FY2012 to FY2013 for Certified PERM applications.Originally Posted by sbhagwat2000
ROW
FY2012 - 5,905
FY2013 - 6,442 (+ 9%)
Mexico
FY2012 - 404
FY2013 - 460 (+ 14%)
Philippines
FY2012 - 488
FY2013 - 563 (+ 15%)
China
FY2012 - 926
FY2013 - 1,336 (+ 44%)
India
FY2012 - 8,859
FY2013 - 12,404 (+ 40%)
Total
FY2012 - 16,582
FY2013 - 21,205 (+ 28%)
I would note that approx 70% of PERM certifications in FY2012 came in H2.

Based on the new demand data it looks like about 17K spillover will be needed to clear the demand till June 2008 for EB2IC. There might be some additional porting depending on when dates start to move. So right now I'd say June 2008 (i.e. COD July 1,2008) is still a possibility.
Come on Viz.. give me 3 more days. It can go up to July 7 2008. (Tsk Tsk, my PD is July 3, 2008)
If I had that kind of power, I would say Aug 22 so that I could be current as well
On a more serious note, there is always a +/- factor here. So you very well could make it in considering rarely all demand will get approved in a timely manner.
Based on current demand data, I was wondering how early predictions of DOS estimating a spillover of 13,000 to Eb2I stands at the moment. I believe it should now be more than 13,000

Excess Visa Numbers Estimated for EB2 India and China
Overall, the expectations are that EB2 India and China will benefit from some excess visa numbers shifting from EB1 and EB2 ROW. However, the volume of such excess is expected to be even less in FY13 than it was in FY12. In FY12, EB2 India and China each received approximately 19,000 visa numbers. The vast majority of these were due to shifting excess numbers into EB2 India and China. At this time, the DOS estimates that a total of 13,000 visa numbers will be available to EB2 India and China in FY13. This is subject to change - either up or down - depending upon the usage in the other categories, as explained here.
Please note that User OpenAccount did mention this in post # 535.
Going by the date in the link (11/2/12), I don't think that's relevant anymore. A "guess" 2 months in to the fiscal year is hardly applicable 9 months in to the year. The 6K reduction between FY12 and FY13 mentioned would simply be from EB2ROW retrogression. It did not take in to account FB overflow, potential increased usage in EB1C, EB4 and EB5 and porting. We may still end up with 13K spillover but the math would be different.
June VB prediction: most likely same like last. Good news is this might be last one like this. Q4 starts from July VB, whence the fun should begin.
I am not a lawyer, and it's always best to consult an immigration attorney.
preditions for the last Q may be metioned in the bulletin, and I think movement almost might be until 2007 and most likeley no movement.
But mention of spillovers and future movements is good enough for many of us waiting for yrs.
Quick dumb questions:
1)The demand data shown in the USICS bulletin, is it cumulative year wise?
It show EB2 till Jan 1, 2013 as 48,750 so is this cumulative figure ?
2)is Demand data taken from I-140 approved count for from I485 application?
I know these question might have answered in the forum, but as a ready reference
can gurus please answer.
I have been reading a lot of sites and there predictions. Based on some very good analysis by some guys on this site I think Eb2I Will get between 15k to 19K Spill Over.
The Spillover will start applying from July. June will have no movement but will give direction on next 3 months.
mailmvr,
Yes, the figures are cumulative.
The 48,750 for all EB2 breaks down to
Pre 2005 ---- 450
2005 -------- 750
2006 ------ 1,175
2007 ------ 5,550
2008 ----- 18,300
2009 ----- 16,525
Post 2009 - 6,000
Total ---- 48,750
The Demand Data is the number of "documentarily qualified" cases reported to the Visa Office.2)is Demand data taken from I-140 approved count for from I485 application?
I know these question might have answered in the forum, but as a ready reference
can gurus please answer.
For AOS that is the number preadjudicated I-485 where USCIS have made a request to DOS for a visa number (and it could not be granted due to retrogression).
The definition for Consular Processed cases is a bit more vague, but is certainly no earlier than when the Fee has been paid and may (more likely) be when NVC have notified the Consulate and they have completed their administrative processes.

Hey Spec, I thought we might see some new filings for EB3-ROW from the start of May but there are hardly any. How long is the typical time period when people start adding these cases to trackitt?
kd,
I wondered if anyone else would notice the lack of new EB3-ROW Trackitt cases.
It isn't just since May.
Since the beginning of the FY, there have only been 8 new EB3-ROW primary cases added. Only 1 of those is post July 2007 and only 2 are even in 2007.
To answer your question, it can take several months to get a reasonable idea of numbers, but additions usually start immediately.
I am very surprised to see such low numbers. At the moment, it appears EB3-ROW have abandoned Trackitt.
Without an irritant, there can be no pearl.
Is it possible spec that eb3 I will get a hefty spillover. Is that possible.
sbhagwat,
Don't confuse lack of Trackitt cases with lack of actual cases.
Is it possible? Yes it is possible.
Is it likely. Probably not.
May VB AOS cases have 5 months to be processed and adjudicated by USCIS, which should be plenty of time. Even early June VB cases will have a fair chance of being approved.
In addition, unlike EB2, EB3-ROW/C/M have significant numbers of CP cases (ROW - 15-20%, China - 50-60%, Mexico - 5-7%). Those are entirely within DOS control to make documentarily qualified and approve. If USCIS don't process AOS cases fast enough, DOS can push the COD further to ensure there are sufficient CP cases to use the available visas. That's partly why July 2007 happened. Whether DOS would do that is open to debate, but it is an option available to them.

Game of Spillovers:
Pending I-1485 data from May 2010 was showing around 15.9 K waiting to be greened till May 8 2006. We received spillover of 16.9 K in FY 2010.
Pending I-1485 data from May/June 2011 was showing around 17.2 K waiting to be greened till April 5 2007. We received spillover of 21.2 K in FY 2011.
FY 2012 is irrelevant.
If pending I-485 data this month (May 2013) will show similar number as Jan 2013 and we have around 13.5 K waiting till May 1 2008. We may reach this date with 16.0-16.5 K spillover in Oct 2013.
Can we ask the USCIS/DOS about the number of approved GC in various categories for the given year under FOIA, as there won't be any privacy issues involved I wonder what reason can they show for not releasing it and if we have the info, atleast we can make very close prediction and moreover even ask them to consider advancing dates using spillovers.
I understand it might take a while to get the reply back but not sure whether they would even bother giving the number of approved cases
First that request would need to go to the DOS not USCIS (which is DHS). In a properly worded request, they would have to provide that info. Also, at this point they would only be able to provide Q1 and Q2 numbers.... maybe they could even do up to April.
Second, I've thought about this before but I remember there being some reason why it didnt make sense at that time. But obviously its a different moment in time.
Can admins delete/archive everything except first and last few pages on this thread? Is there a way to get to the last page without navigating to the discussion and clicking on "last" button?
Why is the delay on VB? CO thinking hard to move the dates?
Usually it comes by 2nd Friday of the month right?
Actually, what i find more intriguing is the amount of time between the release of the demand data and the release of the VB. Nishant2000 used to keep track of the release dates and tried to analyze them to see if there was a pattern. I don't think that he found anything statistically significant.

I thought there is a pattern, when ever the DD was release ahead of 8th day of month, CO used to move dates or atleast VB used to come on time, i.e. 10th day of the month.
