I applied NIW last Novemer. And Got approved April 2005. And I filed the I485 in May 2005. I checked my I-140 approval notice and can not find PD on it. So how the EB2 retrogression affects the NIW applicants?

I think NIW and EB1 has current priority dates so it is not affected by retrogression.

In that case your GC would be dealyed untile Jan 2003. But current forcast says it should be Ok until 2006. This is what I have learnt but I am not sure.

It is not the case now. Other categories other than EB3 will have retrogression during the last quarter of 2005. Please check the updated information in the visa bulletin of June (http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/bulletin/bulletin_2507.html)
E. VISA AVAILABILITY DURING THE REMAINDER OF FY-2005
Employment-based: During the past month there has been a significant increase in the amount of numbers being used by Citizenship and Immigration Service (CIS) offices for adjustment of status applicants. This level of demand has significantly depleted the supply of Employment-based numbers available under the annual limit. Recent discussions with CIS have made it clear that their backlog reduction efforts will sustain or increase the current level of demand. Therefore, continued visa availability in the Employment-based categories cannot be guaranteed during the final quarter of FY-2005. If demand continues at the current rate, it will be necessary to oversubscribe many or all of the Employment categories on a Worldwide basis. Such oversubscription could result in the establishment of cut-off dates, retrogression of already established dates, or some categories becoming “unavailable”.
