Guys look at the PERM Statistics
http://www.foreignlaborcert.doleta.gov/pdf/OFLC_Report_v11_8-23-07.pdf
This report just confirms the theory that retrogression is gonna be gone for good!
Only 80K PERM (GC Labor) appplications approved in Oct 05 - Sep 06 (FY06)....WHAT A LOW NUMBER....and close to 50% is from retrogressed countries (India/China/Philipines/Mexico)....leaving the ROW demand being at just about 40k or less...
And if we assume that about 1 extra dependent for each application....that would make 485 demand of 80k - MAX for ROW...
Funny thing, they have a quota of 100K (out of 140K)....that means the leftovers in each fiscal year will be given to retrogressed countries....Well, it only means one thing EB dates may be current soon....or at least the in the last two quarters of any fiscal year!
And, let's not forget, of the - 40K from ROW : 20-30% may just leave their empoyers and abandon the GC process entirely...
