I am trying to get some kind of analysis going on why there is delay. One can argue that there is no method in this madness and everything is random and thus trying to find a pattern is a waste of time. Let me say, I strongly believe based on the data we see that there is some method in the approvals of PBEC.
The trend are obvious, some states with earlier PDs (like VA and MD, cases stuck from 2001 and recently CA and NJ which had cases stuck from 2002) are being adjudicated first, the cases that were already cleared by state are given higher preference and RIR is faster than TR.
Still some of us, who fall within the above mentioned criteria re stuck when they should have been approved. Can we all collect data and see if there is any trend.
One strong speculation can be found here, as per one insider's news (whom I believe based on many interactions I had and based on my own hot line)

Hi All,
hope you are doing fine and some of you are still in Dol-drums.
I came to know some info which I want share with you all about PBEC.
Selection and Approval Criterion
Approval criterian is solely based on the job requirement and for the position you applied and actual experience and Edu. qualification you have.
For Ex: if you are EB2 and you only have BS with 5 years and you are wanting to have MS or BS with 5 years you are moved into low priority approval phase whcih they would be revisiting eventually dont know when
If you are EB3 and you have a MS or BS with 5 yrs or more and you require BS with 3 years for the Job requirement then your Approval priority is hich.
If you are EB2 and you have MS with 2 yrs exp and you require Ms with 0 yrs exp.. then you fall in High Priority too...
Selection Criteria: Is solely based on all the states So once the high Priority approval phases across all the states done.. they will be moving onto the med level priority across all states starting with MD and VA.....
hope this helps

I will put down my case detail,
Filed on May 1 2002, VA RIR EB-2. State cleared in Dec 2003, My qualification for LC was MBA + 2 years of IT related experience (filed for System Analyst). I do not know how to get what my position required. The salary entered for me for that year is wrong (is that a problem, an error by PBEC?) and is 30% more than the prevailing wage. I know of 6-7 people who filed on my date from my company, all but 2 of us have already have there LC approved. I have called my hotline and a lady (I believe she is not an analyst) have been telling me for months now that I should be approved within couple of months. Of course those deadlines have come and gone. I am in the final review stage for I guess at least 4 months (I suspect I have been in that status for far longer than that, I only asked specifically that question in January 06)
Guys, who are stuck, please put in as many detail as you can. Who knows what is the criteria PBEC is using, maybe what AprLC2002 wrote is right, maybe there is some other explanation. We can only know if we have enough data on people who are left behind. So please post your details
