Sad...
This is sad. For those who are stuck in retrogression and for those who will have to file in EB-3 due to the vagaries of PERM, this is disgusting news. At this rate, it takes three years just to be able to file the I-485!
And now PERM makes it so much more harder to file an EB-2, so that more EB-2 eligible candidates will have to file in EB-3. And EB-3 is a mess...
There will b a lot of pain before this gets better, *if* it gets better.
I can only hope and pray that by some magic by the end of this year it moves to 01/2004 or better.
And what if EB-3 further retrogresses?
Sad...really sad... :-(
Thanks,
