Any chance with the economic condition as it was from 2008 to 2010, there are less PERM filing and PD dates moving faster from next year or so?
Hi Friends,
Please let me know when I can expect my PD to be current. Can it happen this year or do I have to wait for another 1 -2 years.

srimurthy,
You can chek PERM Certification Data (CY-FY Matrix) under FACTS AND DATA Section
bieber,
Based of FY2011(Q1+Q2) data and recent Fact Sheet released by DOL it doesn't look that way, let's wait and see.
Not a Legal advice/opinion, please check with good immigration attorney.
you got to be kidding me... mine is same PD ssvp... and dont be so pessimistic ss bhai... according to Q, we should be cool by end of Q1 2012...
VC bhai...you neednt wait chirakaalam(forever) for your PD to be current...expect it to be blipping on the radar by/before end of FY 2012...

There are 20% chances that you will get chance to file 485 to get EAD this year and GC next year.
There are 80% chances that you will get GC by next year end. Actually by next year there are good possibilities but uscis is not leaving any chance to delay this. Example: recent addition of new category to eb2 with out increasing the number of visas.
There are 100% chances that you will get GC in next 2 years.
thats the million dollar question.. but its is not a fact that "companies not hirings, no job growth"
Thx soggadu. May be another 1 year to get my EAD atleast ;-(
My first post here.. Was a silent spectator here for long but couldn't resist in getting involved in such an interesting forum..
Regarding PWMBs..
I see around 23K PERM approvals from India itself for 2007 in FACTS AND DATA.. If we take 7/12 approvals 2007. we have around 14K Perm approvals leading to 30K I485.. If we assume 40% to be EB2, that leads 12K PWMBs.. Anything wrong with my assumption..
Regarding BTM..
If DoS does go for BTM now, they have to issue GCs to all the preadj. cases.. otherwise next month when they retrogress, those who don't get GC (late July and Aug 2007) will start crying..
My first post, so don't beat me..

Because of this economy I am thinking of moving to a Product Co which I know closely from the consulting firm I am in. My PD is 09-June-2008 and have my I140 approved from my consulting firm.
If I move to the new Co, what would have to do for keeping my PD. AFAIK,
1. I have to apply for a new Labor Cert from the new job (in the new location)
2. When I transfer my H-1B visa I should use the approved I140, so that I can get the visa extended to 3 more years along with the H-1B transfer.
Other questions
1. Is there anything else I have to take care of?
2. New labor should not take more than 3-6 months right?
3. If I joined the new Co by Jan 2012 and if the my PD becomes current sometime in Mar 2012, then if my labor cert is not through with the new job, what should I do?
4. Can I join back at my Old Co and apply 485 from there (I can do this with out another H-1B transfer (back to old Co), because I do have a valid H-1B with them through 2013 Jan.
Please let me know what you guru's think about my options? Or do you think its a risk to join the new firm?
The Visa Bulletin offers valuable information about immigration*.
Upcoming month's visa bulletin: September 2011 (Coming Soon)
I think the demand data (if USCIS wants to publish one) should be out tomorrow and the bulletin on Friday

natvyas, this is usual for them to update the page on the early first week of the month.
It does not necessarily imply anything about the timeline of the bulletin release, IMHO.
But good information regardless, keep the news coming! At least it means there will be a bulletin
