I did not see anyone post I-485 data for 4th quarter.
https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/...y2020_qtr4.pdf
Looks like USCIS approved a total of 121,890 applications last year. Looks like Consular processing was around 15,283. So total approval = 137173. Wasting a total of 18,800 GCs as the total allocation for last year was 156,000.(Am I reading this right?)

That's because its clear now that FB SO will be applied only in the last quarter or from May (at best). So why is it a huge ask to say EB2 will clear 2010. Visa numbers are there. If not, why would they even allow us to file? I understand the nervousness behind USCIS ability (given its shaky record) to be efficient and use atleast most of those SO visas in Q4. But to write them off completely, is a big mistake too. Let's take the middle ground, even if the PD moves to Sep-2010 and not Dec-2010, what's there to lose and feel its all gloom and doom. A year ago we were saying 2010 will take 7 years to clear and even to file?? My 2 cents here is no prediction no matter how outrageously optimistic or pathetically pessimistic can be correct entirely because USCIS has never been transparent. Truth is always somewhere in the middle but I'm more hopeful now because this admin. is sure to crack the whip on bringing back agency efficiencies. So even if 65% of SO is used actually, we are talking about significant movement in Q4 and that's based on data.

The only thing that brings hope to me is the USCIS projection of very minimal movement. They somehow seem to mix up between rapid and very little movement. It's usually the reverse of what they say ends up happening. And we had to take English proficiency tests like TOEFL to prove our English speaking skills.![]()
HA ha ha ha!!
It always comes down to Accountability, right? If you or me tell someone in the office that yup I will get that done by the end of the week and continue to not do it for three weeks, we will probably get fired. USCIS/DoS can say "Rapid forward movement until January" and move the dates 2 weeks and there is no one to challenge that and hold their feet to their fire.

For people who have changed jobs recently, and need to restart their PERM process, does anyone envision any improvement in performance of PERM processing ?
Looks like they are taking 7-8+ months, and overall including prevailing wage etc it might take a year or more.
I sincerely hope this route gets faster with Biden admin.
Thoughts ?
PD: EB3-I 24 Feb-2011
I-485, I-765, I-131 applied : 26 OCT 2020 BIOMETRICS : 19 MAR 21 RFE : 13 APR 21 RFER : 14 MAY 21 EAD APPROVED : 17 JULY 21
I-485 Interview and Approval : 15 DEC 21 CARD Received : 23 DEC 21
They have been providing potential movement projections every quarter. And the movement has been pretty consistent with their projections. Assuming the last projection was till end of this quarter, the earliest we can expect dates to start moving is in the april bulletin. The april bulletin and the projections provided in april is the next thing to watch for.
if you see the last visa inventory release (which is quite old now), the inventory was around 1-2 thousand per month on an average for EB2 india in 2009. Assuming this approximately holds true even today, around 5K visa available for EB2 india without horizontal spiillover will produce around 3-4 months movement in EB2I. This is exactly what we saw in terms of movement since september of last year.
So data clearly points to the fact that movement so far is purely based on spill over from FB that has been spread across all countries, and no horizontal spillover has been applied so far for EB2 and EB3. But going by past ROW applications for EB2 and EB3, we should see a substantial horizontal spillover being applied in Q3 or Q4 of the FY (april-September 2021). So its reasonable to expect pace of movement to pick up significantly in the 3rd or 4th quarter.
Based purely on Trackitt data (and comparing it to last quarter of 2020's trackitt data and eventual real approvals), USCIS has approved a total of 30,000 I-485 applications in the last 4 months.
Has anyone come across this? What does this even means?

Don't believe this concerns people seeking EAD as part of an I-485 for EB. This could be addressing people seeking asylum (https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/...rt-a-chapter-5).
