Consular Processing Data Published by DOS From March 2017 Onwards

[Spectator]

Redsox and spec, when you are posting items like this, if you could write at least one line explaining what that means, it would be such a great help for people like me who can not make sense of this information.

This is hardly the first time this data source has been posted.

Try this post or look back at previous posting on the subject where it has been explained before, such as this one or this one and the discussions surrounding them. This post and those that follow it would also be relevant.

The original raw data can be found here.

redsox2009 has put a lot of effort into compiling the figures each month from the raw data and deserves some thanks for doing so month after month.

There is a point where people have to take some responsibility to educate themselves on the subject matter and not just be spoon fed the data and analysis.


The figures represent the number of visas issued by DOS at consulates around the world.

This contrasts to (and is in addition to) the number of AOS approvals USCIS make for those who have an I-485. For EB, Consular processing accounts for 15-20% of total approvals in a FY.

The long lost USCIS Pending Inventory only included AOS applicants (those still waiting, but not all those waiting). The monthly DOS report shows actual visas issued.

It might be interesting because:

a) It might show evolving trends in the number of EB applicants who are using Consular Processing rather than AOS. For example, EB3-I consular approvals to date for FY2019 are 1,680 for the 10 months reported in FY2019. That contrasts to only 747 for the full FY2018 and just 208 for the full FY2017.

b) Consular processing represents around 94% of all number limited FB approvals. Looking at the progress can give some idea if there are likely to be any unused FB visas in FY2019 that would spill over to EB in FY2020.

Spec : Thank you so much for this data. how much spillover will EB2I and EB3I get in FY2020 ? I hope it will cover few more weeks of PD.

If the AOS numbers were the same in FY2019 as in FY2018, then unused FB visas would be around 23,000, raising the EB allocation to 163,000. We'll only know the actual AOS numbers when DOS publish the FY2019 Visa Statistics (probably in January 2020).

That assumption would translate to 46,618 visas being available to each of EB1, EB2 and EB3 (an increase of 6,578 over the minimum 40,040).

The prorated 7% limit would rise from 2,803 to 3,263 for EB1 - EB3.

The extra numbers available to the categories would increase the chance of there being horizontal spillover at some point during FY2020. Without knowing the backlogs in the categories, it's impossible to speculate as to whether this might happen.

Here is the 2019 October DOS data.

	China	India	Mexico	Philippines	South Korea	Vietnam	ROW-SK-VET	Total
EB1	16	03	02	02	06	00	137	166
EB2	03	07	08	33	185	06	264	506
EB3	025	252	212	506	160	039	1181	2375

Total	118	347	233	558	387	099	2074	3816

Based on these numbers we can expect EB3 cutoff dates in Jan 2020. I belive EB3 might have used Q2 Quarter's quota also.

Out of 2375 EB3, 482 cases are for EB3 Other workers, which is also hight when compared with previous years.

Last year Oct EB3 used 1279 and they spiked up 85%.

Last year Oct EB2 utilized 338, and this year they utilized 506 which is almost 50% more.

If the EB2 cases were approved more at USCIS field offices also then EB2 cutoff dates also can be expected by Jan 2020.

EB3-India 102 (Nov '19) vs 252 (Oct '19). Signs of Consular demand tapering? I think the dates may move a month or so for EB3-I in Feb '20.

Even the ROW EB3 demand is 826 vs 1181. Hope the EB-3 ROW will remain current and yield SO to EB3I.

EB3 493 in first quarter alone?! SMH

[jimmys]

For EB3, ROW and Philippines numbers were slightly lesser than Nov. But, India shot up from 102 in Nov to 139 in Dec. Also, for 38 primary applicants, there were 101 dependents. Ratio of 2.65. If the trend continues, it's hard to see any meaningful movement for EB3I this year.

And, I wonder why EB2I dates are hardly moving? There's negligent consular numbers but still the dates move a day or two. Why?

Relentless. Just relentless demand for EB3-India CP. I never understood how these many jobs are waiting for a decade while the employees were staying abroad? Doesn't make any sense. With EB3-ROW already backlogged, EB3-India's future for FY 20 is not that bright.

Yes Corona has its effect on China. Starting from March, we can see other countries will be impacted as well.

Stay safe and Stay Strong.

Thank you Red. Other than EB5 China usage that decresed from 541 to 4, no major change in EB. CO was right on money regarding the closure of Guangzhou, China post.

FB China total also went down from 6619 to 87. Overall Family went down from 67.7K to 15.4K. If the virus keep Counsular Post's closed for another 2 months, then we are talking. How much can CP's ramp up once things are back to normal? May be by a factor of 1.2 to 1.5? I guess we should wait more to see how things play out.

redsox,

I had some slightly different figures on the Family Based side (China vs ROW for March).

Thanks for catching the discrepancy. I found the bug, last month in the spreadsheet China is listed as "China - Mainland born" and this month a character got changed and new name is "China - mainland born".
