Hi ,
I am not sure how the flood of applications in July - August will impact pending applications,
USCIS will have a new cut off date in October which will most likely retrogress to 2003 for EB2 in which case only applications with priority dates <= Cut off date will get adjudicated.
Regards,
There is going to be mass filling in July-August (750,000 as per someone's estimate). CIS will need significant staff for I-485 receipting, processing of AP & EAD. This is going to create a huge backlog even after Oct.
All the june filers haven't still gotten their receipts yet and expected to get it by August. So think about the impact of July mass fillings.
This will also delay the I-485 processing for non-retrogressed countries (from Oct onwards)
