eb-2
- Thread starter fimbria
- Start date
In my view,there is no way eb-2 will be compltely out of retrogression.Not atleast in the next 3-4 years.Once the dates progress to the start of 2002, the progress will be slow and might even stop there for the rest of the year.It might start moving again once the new visa numbers kick in at the start of next fiscal year (oct 2006). But realistically speaking, the dates will never become current,. not atleast in the near future for the retrogressed countires.It is just a matter of time before the dates hit the backlog and after that the progress will be very slow.
No - EB2 will continue to retrogress

Please be aware, there were more H-1B from India than any other country - over the past 4-5 years India has been sending over half of all H-1B professionals. So, naturally, there are more people from Indian applying for Employment based GC.
Year 2000: H1B quota: 65,000 === estimated Indians: > 30,000 ; Max GC for India: ~25000; backlog: > 5,000
Year 2001: H1B quota: 195,000 === estimated Indians: > 90,000 ; Max GC for India: ~25000; backlog: > 65,000
Year 2002: H1B quota: 195,000 === estimated Indians: > 90,000 ; Max GC for India: ~25000; backlog: > 65,000
Year 2003: H1B quota: 195,000 === estimated Indians: > 90,000 ; Max GC for India: ~25000; backlog: > 65,000
Year 2004: H1B quota: 85,000 === estimated Indians: > 40,000 ; Max GC for India: ~25000; backlog: > 15,000
Year 2005: H1B quota: 85,000 === estimated Indians: > 40,000 ; Max GC for India: 25000; backlog: > 15,000
=>>> Implies over 225,000 Indians are in queue.
Based on Eb2/ Eb3 poll, ratio of EB2: EB3 is 1:2 i.e. for every EB2 person, there are two EB3 people.
This implies over 75,000 EB2 category Indians are possible. EVEN If they allocate the entire Indian quota to EB2, it will still take 3 years to reach 2005.
So, retrogression is here to stay !!!!
