I know some ppl might laugh at the idea..but this whole thing just simply doesn't make any sense to me...
so hoping against hope....
How many of you think that it an error in the data which might be corrected soon???
Moreover, we have not seen any new update "directly" from USCIS...
Also, as written on Murthy.com
"They do not anticipate making changes for November 2005, unless the data they received from the USCIS is in error regarding the number of pending I-140 filings that were ready for approval, as well as other information that goes into establishing cutoff dates.
"
Only 2 months ago they were of the view that theCut off dates for EB3 will be around June 02 & for EB1 will be "current" till the end of the year...
Now, HOW COME, almost overnight (within 2 months),..they recalculated & come out so "OFF"...Its just simply not possible that someone can make SUCH big mistakes with the numbers.....UNLESS there is big change in some RULES...which seems unlikely & which we are not aware of.
OR
My optimism also prods me in to thinking that the setting of such really-backward looking priority dates might be a knee-jerk reaction by USCIS to stem the tide of I-485 applications. Remember that USCIS now approves labor in record time. The visa dates are set by DOS with data from USCIS. It's highly possible that USCIS needs 3 or 4 months to take stock of the situation and report the ground situation to DOS. In order to do this they shouldn't be encouraging any more applicants. We should see some forward movement in 2006 and this is reinforced by
