245i and EB-2

Does anyone know what percent of all 245i filings are EB-2? 25%, 50%?

Also, of the 350K backlog cases what is the rough estimate of the number of 245i cases? 100K is reasonable?

Just wanted to know if EB-2 will be affected by 245i too.
 
If you believe that USCIS is being conservative with the visa bulletine, (which it is else why retrogress so much), and if there were indeed many eb-2 or eb-1 245i fillings, the ROW SHOULDN'T BE current.

The only ppl who are too many in eb-2 or eb-1 are Indians and chinese. You can say maybe some of them are 245i applicants (for chinese this assumption is wrong since they are a;ready past 31 april 2001). It's highly unlikely, that many if any, Indian 245i exist.

Now the biggest assumption here is that USCIS knows what it is doing??

hope this helps.

Unbelievable news: New draft immigration bill by Senater Specter

Unbelievable news:

Guys:

Check out this anti-immigrant site and read about this new proposed bill that Mr. Specter is circulating for consideration. Seems too good to be true. Do you think its really going to happen?

http://www.numbersusa.com/hottopic/specterproposal.html

I am also pasting relevent info- from it below:

New exemptions from legal, permanent immigration category caps:

Aliens with an advanced degree in science, technology, engineering, or math who have been working in a related field in the United States for the three-year period preceding their application for an employment-based immigrant visa would be exempt from the cap on such visas.

Aliens with “extraordinary ability in the sciences, arts, education , business, or athletics,” “outstanding professors and researchers,” and physicians who agree to work in an area designated by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) as having a shortage of health care professionals or who agree to work at a health care facility run by the Department of Veterans Affairs all would be exempt from the cap on employment-based visas.

The spouses, children and parents of any alien who is admitted as an employment-based immigrant would be exempt from the cap on employment-based visas (parents of such aliens currently are not eligible for a visa at all until the alien becomes a naturalized citizen).

Where current law exempts the children, spouses, and parents of U.S. citizens, Specter would exempt the children of citizens plus their children, the spouses of citizens plus their children, and the parents of citizens plus their children.
 
Some lawyers (e.g. Shusterman) have predicted that EB-2 will might be retrogressed in the second half of FY2006 if nothing is changed in the legislation.
Well, this news is not very good. Also, taking into account that Shusterman is very experienced and knowledgeable guy, who told in March about coming EB-3 worldwide retrogression ... I wish he would be wrong this time.
