The real thing driving the priorirty dates for retrogresssed countries is the demand from ROW - if that demand falls below 100K again....dates will most likely be current again...that's what happened this year...
hopefully, the same will happen again this year....as the only real traffic in ROW is the illegal traffic from 2001 - which is long gone....the numbers from real legal immigrants in less than 100K per year...
So, just relax, and watch out for action in the last 6 months of FY2008...from Mar 2008-Aug 2008.....if the demand is really high from ROW near 100K, then it may be delayed to next year - may be Mar 2009 - Aug 2009 - dates might be current again...
the current quota of 10k per country is too less for any big movement in dates, at least for countries like India
I think we all go and work for USCIS to step up the process.IO get 40-70 k annually.

May we can do vounteer work for USCIS for 1 month (bench) and clear at least 100 apps per day. Or outsource the work ..... Just now talked to the NSC CSR and said it would take 5 years - should i wait or just pack up and leave.... they said it may not take that long --- may be one has to wait 4 years, 11 months ,30 days and 23 hours.....and we all will become bald and ..........Hope a earthquake happens to all the CIS offices. Let them go to hell
The exact same thought came to my mind.
Just curious....Wasn't Mar02 current in Jul 07? Im also Mar 02 and this is fuc*&^ng crazy?
As it is Indians are friggin pre-disposed to heart ailments & diabetes.
This is going to make sure that lot of them will start suffering a lot earlier.
Guys/gals no point in stressing....pls take care of your selves.
