as u all know there is no labor for EB1, and from what i have heard, I-140 gets approved in 3-6 months for 75% of people (optimist guess).
and i think concurrent filing was allowed somewhere around 2003(i dont know exactly)
i would like to now calculate total applications pending till date (because i have not filed yet, hence i need to know people ahead of me in the queue).
assuming that 70% of people who applied till 2003 got their 485 that means their numbers has been counted, that means they are not in the queue.
and 50% people who applied till june 2004, got their 485 (optimistic guess)
my assumption is that not more than 5000 people may have been filing EB1-india.
approximate guess of pending application, EB1-india till aug 2002,
I think not more than 1000
till 2002------------ 1000
till 2003-------------1500 (30% of 5000)
till 2004 june--------1250 (50% of 2500)
till 2005 oct -------- 3750
_______________________________________
total ---------------7500
per year limit for EB1-india = 2800
assuming that because of some old visa number this goes upto 3500 for 2006
to clear the above queue.
2006 ----3500
2007 ----2800
2008-----2800 (i will get my 485 in this year
)
some one please verify if above approximations or badly off place...
not a great outlook but better than eb3 and eb2....atleast some hope is there...
