Very neat analysis , but I have 2 questions:
When you say for example 2001 will be processed in 2nd qtr 2006 , would that include all nationalities, would it be different for China and India?
Also DOS has number of visa per year, I wish I know it but would the 134K of cases for 2001 will fit under that or might extend to 2007 ?

Just watching,
Its fun to see your analysis and I sure admire your optimism.
Just to give you some food for thought:
Lets say a quick fix happens like last time and visa numbers are recaptured - assume this happens in mid 2006. Subtract the 50000 quota for nurses. With the remaining numbers - can you analyze the PD progress?

Waitingtoo - Hope its not a typo
Can you please check with your attorney? If its two year extension I am glad looking at things it doesnt look like we may get to I485 in one year and i hate to apply for extension every year.

I actually took down my "analysis". Unfortunately there was a huge flaw in it. I was doing a 1 to 1 on I-485 apps to visa numbers when in fact dependents also use up visa numbers.
Anyway, I was just trying to help.

Since some folks asked for this
People sent me private messages asking for the draft to send Phily Backlog Center for FIFO, here you go:
"
FAX# (484) 270-1600
To Whom It May Concern:
“All cases, regardless of whether they were from a Regional Office or from a SWA, will be processed according to FIFO, once entered into PBLS”-- quoted from the “Backlog Center Q&A” posted on the Department of Labor website.
First In First Out rule is fair. So we all expect this rule will be followed. But we are seeing many cases approved with a much later priority date than those cases that are still not completely entered into the PBLS. For example, many New York cases filed with SWA in year 2001 have not even received the 45-day letter yet, while cases filed in year 2002 and sometimes in year 2003 have been approved. The practice is clearly in violation of the FIFO rule, and it is causing people to lose faith in the system, as a result rumors are spreading among the immigration communities.
In the just released immigrant visa bulletin by the Department of State, cut-off dates are set for I-485 application. Some people, benefiting from the “random processing” and receiving their LC even though they have a later priority date, are rushing to file I-140/I-485 before October 1, 2005. Many not so lucky applicants, even with a much earlier priority date, can not do it because their labor certification applications are still in the backlog center waiting to be processed. These unlucky aliens are deprived of the benefit of EAD and Advance Parole which come with I-485 application. Is this fair??
Since nearly all cases now have been at least partially entered, we urge that priority date should be identified and FIFO rule be strictly followed from now on.
Thank you for your attention to this important matter.

Response to zgubi
I did not get a 45 day letter. Back in Sept. 2004, before the backlog offices went into effect, my attorney had received an RFE from NYS, and replied to it. Since that date, I heard nothing until receiving the approval 2 days ago.
For what it's worth, my attorney had said that they were not sending out 45-day letters for those labor certifications that had been in mid-review before the backlog offices were formed--they were kind of set aside (or stayed at the Regional office) and now they are working through them without a 45-day letter.

My lawyer recd. the 45 Day Letter today from the Philly Backlog center. They want evidence that the company I work for is located in NY and it's a bonafide entity. Strange request since all of this info had been sent before but atleast now I have a reference number of some sort.
