newkidhere said:Here is my guess for this month.
PD will advance for :
EB2 : 3 months
EB3 : 1 month
(Personally, I need the dates to move on or beyond 8th March 2001 for my case to become current )
Lets hope for the best and keep our spirits high as always.
and it usually arrives earlier in the day. so next friday then.balu_g said:Chicagodol, It will be either May 5th or May 12th. They usually release it on a friday.
Is your PD closer to cutoff date ? Good luck.balu_g said:Today is the 10th. Do you guys know what time of the day it will be out? I am really expecting a good movement atleast this month.
marlon2006 said:If you look at the latest processing times for NSC I-485, it seems USCIS is getting closer and closer to claim processing of petitions in 6 months. We know that most 245(i)'s are still cooking at DOL. Let's be sincere and realistically, such 'expected demand' excuse to keep EB3 dates on May 2001 doesn't seem to make sense at this point.
Rose101 said:I am also thinking that way but i do not know how far our optimism live by the week end. All indications are positive. One of my friend got EB2 485 approved within 3 months even when processing dates are not current (PD is current). If service centers are busy with 245(i) cases, I believe this will not happen. Hope that USCIS mysteriously decides to progress PDs for EB3 too.
immi2006 said:how did he file 485, when PD is not current ? can u elaborate ?
(2) what is the diff bet Processing Date and PD Current ?
Rose101 said:PD is current. For applying and approving, VISA numbers are available only when PD is available through VISA bulletin.
Processing dates are different and are indicative of current processing of applications by service center. You may verify the following link for VSC's processing times. for Emplyment based I-485 the processing date is Apr'2005.

Hope could clarify.
