Even if it does happen, it would start from the pre-limited countries. Are you from one of the four countries?
In 2004, EB2 had annual limit of 140,000 visas plus 64,422 unused family-based visas in previous fiscal year. So, the 2004 employment preference limit was 204,422. The limit was 28.6 percent of the total or 58,465 visas for the first three preferences.
Do you know how many PRs were granted for EB2 in 2004? Only 32,534 or 55%. It was very pathetic. There were more EB2 visas available than USCIS could process. Shame on USCIS.
Statistically speaking, retrogression in the EB2 category is unlikely to happen. People from the Big Four countries may need to worry about it in Sep. The rest must have a positive attitude.
My 2 cents worth
