ufo2002 said:I am just wondering what people in EB3 World would do if the new fiscal year starts out with the October bulletin showing "Unavailable"?
Yeah, people will say that's not going to happen but after seeing that happen to EB2 India, you can't really say USCIS is done pulling more "shock and awe" on us.
September bulletin: Oct 2001
October bulletin: U - as in "Unavailable", as in "We squeezed ur nuts, bubba".
kamrans said:Its not possible. They can retrograte the dates or the date dont move at all but it cannot be unavailable in October as it will be the start of the fiscal year and all the categories will get fresh quota.
But you are right... You cannot predict anything for anyone if it comes to USCIS/DOS.
Good Luck to all.
ufo2002 said:Ok, ok, I went overboard with the "U" thing.
But if anyone has been keeping track on EB3 World since it started retro back in September 2005 (PD was at March 2001 I believe)... then after almost one year of waiting, EB3 World has only progressed about 7 months. So, assuming this "pattern" holds true, we can expect September 2007 bulletin to show May 2002 in the PD.
indian_gc_ocean said:i am expecting big jumps(like 6 months in each bulletin) in row eb3 in the next two bulletins because of spillover.
This was discussed in various threads. Unused row eb1 and eb2 would be going to row eb3 as the overall(eb1+eb2+eb3) demand for row is more than the supply. DOS is working India based on the country quota. This is the reason why India EB2 is unavailable while row eb2 is still current.samyami said:Don't they let the spill-overs happen only in the last month? And even so, my understanding of the process is that any overflow from one EB category to another happens only after the overflows within the same category from countries that have not met their quota to countries that have exhausted their soft quota. Given that India/China EB1 and India/China EB2, would there really be any significant number of visas trickling down into EB3 at all this year?
