Thanks for the info Indiani. Is the consensus that going forward they're going to send RFE's to all retrogressed cases prior to approval? Seems like a massive case load for them to process if thats the case (and kind of makes pre-adjudication somewhat useless).Originally Posted by indiani
Congrats on the CPO btw!
Its not part of regular procedure or rule.
This year as it has been retrogressed for so long they decided to do for TSC ,
simple answer: no one knows if they would send next year or not IMO
I was talking about 1) and 2)
3) people who never filed 485 have zero chances of adjudication as they need FBI check first
There are several
Its not. Approvals will continue. Rate of approvals increases again next month untils visas deplete.
My friend got his GC approved this month. First filed under EB-3 (PD 2006) and then did interfiling and became current under EB2 in August. He got a weird RFE the last week of July asking him to send a hand written letter saying that he wants to interfile (). He sent the letter and got approved the next week. His application was processed at NSC.

So after no approvals yesterday, the trackitt thread for Aug 28th is starting to show some approvals. I counted 4 so far across 2 threads. Hope that picks up for our Magnificent 7 that are still standing.

Maybe they think that the ability to hand write a letter is a qualification for EB2! Weird, is all I can say!He got a weird RFE the last week of July asking him to send a hand written letter saying that he wants to interfile (
In the days of word processors, spell check,twitter and emoticons ... writing a coherent, spelling and grammatically correct, hand written note is somewhat of a lost art.
Lol true, but then the question becomes if the applicant really wrote it by his/her own hand. How would they validate?In the days of word processors, spell check,twitter and emoticons ... writing a coherent, spelling and grammatically correct, hand written note is somewhat of a lost art.
Congratulations Indiani!!!

Congratulations Indiani, yours is one of the approvals I have been waiting to see after Matt's. Happy for you for a timely approval.
Congratulations indiani...
The 3k you mentioned, is that for the ones current in August or it includes ones current after September
How many visas do you think are still available until September end
Total demand= 12.5K ( approx.) ( august demand) + 7.3K ( September demand)
Total SO that could be applied to India in august+ September = definitely less than 20K ( my guess is approx. 17K )
Total approvals by this month end = 9K approx.
So the answer to your last question will be approx. 8K
very difficult to arrive at any of these number with any degree of precision and so opinions might vary
I hope you get yours in a week.
Is this number totally separate from the spillover EB3 is going to receive?
EB3I shouldn't receive any spill over this year, although it may receive more visa numbers than its annual quota, because of underallocation to EB3ROW. That isn't strictly spillover. And those visa numbers are different fromt he figures indiani had mentioned in his post.

We approached Month end. I think USCIS several officers are already on long week end. Good luck to every one for the next month approvals. Eagerly waiting for September 3rd.

with exception of Monday, the approvals have been modest for 2 days and none on Tuesday, there may be good chance that the earlier prediction of 9K might not even be reached by tomorrow.
So as many as 5K ( remaining august pending ) + 7.3K ( September) will be pending which needs to be processed in 14 days ( excluding last week and labor day).
even if 500cases approved only 7K might be approved, leaving about 5K cases ( worse case scenario).
For this not to happen, the pace of approvals should be constantly higher in September and GC's approved until last working day. Of course if the dates will remain same in October lot of anxiety will dissipate
Very happy to update that I got CPO emails yesterday for myself and spouse.
I would like to thank Q for starting and maintaining this site. This site brought much needed sanity to the wait, dont know how much more frustrated I would have been without this site and the wonderful folks here.
Would like to thank Teddy (I've some posts of yours saved in my local machine, I used to read those when I was down and frustrated like "I believe if the next intake happens in a timely manner there is a good chance that everyone in 2007 will have their GC in hand by Sep 2012, " you were bang on target but for USCIS issuing GCs to people in 2008 before 2007 folks, no hard feelings to 2008 folks though) , Soggadu ( your posts brought lot of humor and made the wait bearable), Spec (for the impeccable calculations), Nishant, Veni, and last but not least Pedro who said two days back that I dont have to wait for another year. Your words came true Pedro, all the best to you and I wish you get yours very soon.
We have a wonderful bunch of folks here, would like to continue discussion on topics of interest in future.
