USCIS sucks.... They forgot basic mathematics

E3 1-May-00 CURRENT
What do you mean by "so many applications" ? How many were there?acmil said:I think it is a typo 'cause EB3 for other countries is also typed as "current". How can they process so many application in less than a month?
ARJUDAVID said:I called New Delhi US embassy and the guy told it is closed today due to Dussehra(Vijaya Dashami) holiday. Then I called chennai US embassy just now. Asked about the priority dates in New delhi website for EB3 India and Others. She told if it is in their website it must be correct.
Could some one call Mumbai and Calcutta and check these dates for EB3 India and Others.

I guess DOS received so many e-mails on those cut-off dates in October. Boy I can imagine.

The sources of this posting are, however, "dubious" at best. It is reported as the priority dates for October 2005, but it certainly is not true. Some of the immigrants speculate whether this posting was intended to report the November 2005 priority dates. We have no confirmation of the truth of this information one way or another. One thing certain is extremely drastic changes in EB area and no changes in FB area, raising question of legitimacy of this report. American Consulate in Delhi is advised that this apparent erroneous report be corrected as soon as possible. We have just requested the American Consulate in Delhi to straighten out the report. Please stay tuned to this website for the development of this news.
