With 100K spillover from FB to EB in Q1 2022 FY finial action dates will move 6 months for EB3 and 3 months for EB2 but the Question is whether filing dates open again in Q1 2022 FY.
guys like me who changed employers will we be able to file again in Q1 2022
my only hope is how much Q4 2021 spillover moves dates for EB3 and then Q1 Final action dates moves for Q1 2022 peiod.
I think looking Q1 2022 beyond a potential spill of 100K+ from FB is too early now. Any kind of valid predictions can be done only after July 2021 bulletin.Originally Posted by H1b2006
Regarding filing date accepted for FY 2022. For it to happen if Eb2 final dates has to go past 2010 and Eb3 has to pass 2014. Big ask.

If they follow the law as written, they will use all the spillover. I know I am skeptical too because of the massive amount of numbers available to use, but let's give the new admin a chance before we start throwing bricks at them. We can either be hopeful and optimistic or miserable moving forward. I admit I also get into these dark phases periodically where I think it's all going to get wasted and honestly I am not thinking this just from my perspective; I am in a lot better shape with May 2010 PD than other in 2012, 2013 etc who are looking at extraordinarily long wait times compared to those of us in 2010 so that's whom I have concern for. So hope for the best and prepare for the worst.
GC Approved 7/29/2021
I agree. the last bulletin forecasted movement until May. I'd be patient until then. By then, I am expecting the new admin to get settled in with clear directions provided to dhs, uscis, etc..too
I think EB2 clearing 2010 is not that big of an ask after all. I don't know about 2014 for EB3 that can happen if it pours cats and dogs.
Jus a quick update folks...we received our EAD/AP card combo (1-yr. validity) by mail on 1/22.
Here is my timeline (so far...) -
RD - 10/22 - EB2
Biometrics - 1/8
I-765/I-131 case approval - 1/14
EAD/AP Card received - 1/22
National Benefits Center
I have the same view about EB-2 but for EB-3 I think it is not possible that it advances so far out compared to EB-2. If it does, aren't they going to get 1000s of concurrent filings from EB-2 folks who haven't already downgraded? Maybe it will happen for 1 month and retrogress severely?
Congrats on your EAD/AP approval. Welcome to the Trishanku status. Make sure that you browse through our EAD/AP thread to setup reminders for timely renewal in 6 months time.

One thing I am unabe to understand is why are we seeing combo card approvals with one year validity instead of two year? Is not that being non-productive since most of these candidates may not receive their green cards by the time their combo card expires?

This is USCIS standard practice. Even 2012 EAD filers also got only 1 year EAD/AP, the first time.
Consider it like this. The reason why you are doing "DF" based AOS application is the expectation/prediction from USCIS that your PD will become "FA" current in one year time. So using that logic they approve only 1 year EAD/AP for the first time. For renewals, you can request a 2 year validity if your "FA" is not current.
LPR Since 07MAY2021
That is not entirely correct. I am a 2012 filer and all my combo cards were for two years except the most recent one which was approved last month.
TSC; EB2-I: PD: 17-SEP-09; I-485 RD: 25-APR-12
My comment was for the very first EAD/AP that is sent together with I485 package. Was your very first EAD issued for 1 year or 2 years? If it was for 2 years consider yourself very lucky.
LPR Since 07MAY2021
For a category which has been moving few days every month for more than 2 years, it is a big ask to pass 2009, let alone 2010. 4 days is what it moved for February 2021. If you count from October 2020 for 5 months it moved 48 days.
It is a huge ask.

May2010 EB2 india got RFE for medicals. Indication that EB2 May2010 FAD movement very much on the cards.
if EB2 I moves to May, shoudnt we add 6 months --Nov 2010 for EB3.
Let the eggs hatch my dear. We can talk about chicken Biriyani?s later. Lot of people from 2010 got RFE in 2018 and we had planned a buffet with lot of chicken dishes. Little did we know USCIS chickened us out.
So when the dates actually move, then we can start cooking.

Has anyone got the rescheduled biometrics notice for the office closed dates of Jan 19th and 20th? Mine was initially scheduled for 19th but the office was closed. Called USCIS and they told to wait for 2 weeks to receive a rescheduled notice.

Now only if someone with EB3 -I Nov 2010 also receives an RFE you would be onto some trend . I will let you know as soon as I get an RFE

Also, all these RFEs are really random. My PD is Feb 2010 and received RFE for 485J/medicals in 2018. But haven't heard anything from USCIS this time around. Yet.
Priority Date: 02/09/2010 - EB2 - NSC. || I-485 Approved - 06/17/2021
I think I will take a Hariyali Kabab :-)
If the person from March 2010 got an RFE, the response should be the copy of the February visa bulletin where they have indicated forward movement of about a week.

well. 4-5 months will pass by in a jiffy by June 2021 we should be knowing if eggs are hatching are not..hope so they will hatch. 120 K spillover is once in a lifetime never happened before and might not happen before aswell from FB to EB. if this 120k doesnt help us, then we need divine intervention to change GC country cap limits removal.
Just Keep praying!! Just like Gabba fortress is breached, we can Breach our Immgration backlogs!!
Been current since November 2020 with Sep 2009 PD. No RFE so far and last RFE was back in 2016.

That's strange given your file is at NSC. That center is quite proactive.
What steps have you taken to address this? Raised SR? Involved Congressman office? Anything else?
I am asking because many people will be in same situation sooner or later.
2009 are out of equation they are bound to get GC sooner or later!! we are only talking abt 2010 eb2 eb3
you are guaranteed to receive GC with 120K spillover
Raised an SR and got standard response that they are reviewing the case and should hear from them in 90 days. In the meanwhile, I had to renew my combo card and got its approval last month.
