May be good news for EB3-rest of the world, cool forum

Techy:

Not to discourage you, but I think his point of view is not right, or at least not shared by the DOS guy who sets the PD. Otherwise how do you explain that from June to Sept the world EB3 is unavailable while the EB1&2, including China and India, are all current?

this is really a cool forum, a attorney answers most of the questions and he even participates in discussion to clarify issues.

according the the below thread on this forum, EB3-world should do ok since they get visa leftover from EB1-world and EB2-world.

EAin2005.......i think he may be right....becos....the way things work can be:

28% is EB3 for all countries.........and if this gets exhausted....then all EB3 will be unavailable...

where as EB1 & 2 will be still processed for any country which has not reached the per country limit yet..

infact it looks like they set a number based on allocation for "each category-country".

something like, 28% EB1, they can go upto 7% of these for india EB1.

it would have been great help only of uscis had published the data...countrywise-category wise...
 
Techy:

What you said can theorectically happen, but in reality, I doubt it. Remember that 7% of 28% is less than 3000, for a whole year! I think China and India's Eb1 and 2 can reach that in a quarter. The October bulletin must be the result of this "7% of 28% rule" because they want to be cautious and not burn themselves again, so it retrogressed to ancient time. I agree that if they publish the number of each country in each category, we will get a much better picture. As things stand now it is all in the hands of the people who set the PD since we know nothing about how they function....

we will get some picture when they publish 2005 data......becos ideally speaking....EB1 has higher priority than eb2&eb3.....but if they grant eb1 everything in a per country limit......india/china eb2 & eb3 will never get any visa....

so uscis has its own unwritten rules to distribute things...
