we have 350K backlog cases. Rajeev in the conference mentioned a major portion of it falls in the latter half of 2003 and 2004.. so i am ASSUMING 150000 employment cases are pending prior to June 2003 and the remaining 200000 cases have a priority date after June 2003... every year 140000 visas...
are all these 350K employment pending cases.. with only 140000 numbers alloted every year and 350K pending let us assume 150000 falls before June 2003, looks like another year for it to move one year forward from the current priority date
some more bad news...
Beginning immediately, “EX” visa numbers may be allocated to Schedule A immigrants and their dependents only; all other immigrants within the Third preference will continue to use the traditional Third preference classification. Note that any Schedule A applicant will...
eb3 retrogression.. pulling my hair out in frustration
i am guessing .. else why would they have held off on that 80000... who knows.. maybe we will get lucky and they will just decide to use the 80K for eb3 tech.. but as of now things look bleak and with July visa saying unavailable it has...
to answer yr question
it is 140000 + 101000 visas
refer my earlier post.. where i had put in the source of my information
also i don't think 80000 visas that you talk about can be used for Eb3 tech ..
i think these 80000 visas will be used in future for schedule A once they exhaust...

retrogression
still_dale - you are again talking about 140000.. DOS has already confirmed 27% of 245000 is 66150 for a period of approx 3 months..
which is perfectly in line with what shusterman is claiming...
I WISH YOUR LOGIC WAS RIGHT BUT UNFORTUNATELY IT IS NOT ..
retrogression
i wish there would have been some good news to share.. but does not appear like anything good is hovering on the horizon..
A couple of questions:
what about medical test.. what is its validity period.. because of eb3 retrogression does it have to be taken again?
what...
flawed logic
still_date - your logic is accurate as per your understanding of the law..
but the uscis is not following your understanding of the law.. they have already clarified the visa allocation for each quarter was based on 245000 instead of 140000.. which means as you reach the last...
