BECs processing results

Dallas:

Code: 
CERTIFIED	644
CLOSED		-19
DATA REVIEW	-123
DENIED		67
IN PROCESS	-849
WITHDRAWN	280

Progress: 972


Philly: 
APPEAL		7
CERTIFIED	1408
CLOSED		7
DATA REVIEW	-76
DENIED		254
IN PROCESS	-1787
WITHDRAWN	184

Progress: 1853

As you see BECs started to go through cases faster. PBEC is still processes almost 2 times more cases as DBEC. It denies, closes and withdrows more cases as well.

With this pace of approvals time to finish for PBEC - 47 weeks, for Dallas - 91 weeks.

I expect PBEC to slow down as soon as they get to regular cases processing.

There are 40,000 visas available in each EB category (1, 2 and 3). Out of these categories a single country can use a maximum of 7%.

Currently the EB2 category for India is January 2003. When the priority date will touch January 2005? Well this is complicated - entirely governed by the demand for the EB2 visa.
 
:) I know...every year 2800 visa numbers (with avg family size of 4, this translates to 700 per year) mean unless there is change in the law, the green card for most of us may not materialize at all...2007 will be the year to see if there is change in legislation, otherwise, I would seriously start redirecting my life out of US...till then, good luck all!

If we assume that there are 30000 people apply for labor certificate each year, then with 700 or 800 visas per year means one needs to wait for another ten years if the person has applied in December 2004.

This is ridiculous. :rolleyes:

You sure its 40000? I think it is 280,000.

Roma77, Great work. You analysis provides us the bulk picture. This demonstrates the BEC throughput on a weekly basis.

On the other hand the tracker consists of a sample of the BEC cases and indicates the processing trends.

Pls add me to the tracker. My Details are in the signature. Thankyou
 
And, to add some more time, H1-B are issued only to individuals (families get H4-B, for which there is no cap), while PR visas are issued to each family member...

So, if per year there are 30,000 Indians applying for H1-B since 2000, we've ~200,000 H1-B...assuming that 50% opt for PR (thanks to boom in India!), we still have 100,000 PR applicants since 2000 and at 4 per family, we are looking at 300,000+ PR visas...now, at 2800 per year, this translates to about 12 years for someone to get PR who applied in 2005/06...nice! See my changed signature! :D

To be precise, 40,000 plus unused visas in the next higher category as mentioned here.

OK guys. We missed prefix "1". The number is 140,000 total. Each EB category shares 28.6 % of total number.

So for EB3, total number available is: 40040.

Each country has visa limit of 7% of total number available and that is: 140,000 * 0.07 = 9800 including all EB categories + unused visa numbers.
