The info I know
Yesterday, the man who picked up my call (484-270-1500 PHI) told me that
they are working on 2001 cases. Today I called again, the lady said she
is not sure which month in 2001, but since I replied my 45-letter in Dec. 2004 (beyond 3 months) and my case is in 2001, so I should send a message
to info@phi.eflc.us to require my status.
Anyone would like to call them to get more info?

Please dont flood PBEC with too many calls!
Dear Friends and fellow sufferers:
I would suggest not to flood the Phil BEC with too many calls. Lets all agree to call one a day or once in two days and post the info online. Even if one person calls once in two days and posts it on the forum, there may not be much we would losing...
Too many people calling Phil BEC may scare those who are responding the phone and will not serve the purpose....
I can call them tomorrow unless somebody volunteers to do that and post it on the net....

Thanks for the clarification. Sorry that I misunderstood it.
Is this something most of us should be concerned about (EB1 and EB2 catergory)?
FY2005 Retrogression
Due to significant demand for EB visa numbers, the allotment of FY2005 visa numbers has been greatly depleted. This is largely due to backlog reduction efforts at USCIS which have increased the numbers of adjustment-of-status approvals, each of which needs a visa number. Since USCIS intends to continue their backlog reduction efforts, the high demand for visa numbers will continue. Thus, there is an announcement that if the demand continues at the same levels, it is likely that the EB categories that are not currently retrogressed will become retrogressed in the last quarter of FY2005 (August-October). Categories that are retrogressed could be pushed back further or become all together "unavailable." The DOS states that this problem could extend to many or all EB categories worldwide. This is in contrast to the current situation where, other than the EB3 "other worker" category for unskilled / semiskilled labor, only those countries with high levels of immigration (India, Mainland China, and the Philippines) are retrogressed.

NY 2001 filers who received 45 day letter and replied like me still not hear any thing from Philly BEC
we didn't hear receiving 45 day letters for 2002 filers of NY/NJ..
so whatever they say "doing 2002 NJ NY cases" may not be correct..!!

When I called today the gentle man who answered my call told that they are working on 2002 cases who responsed the 45 days letter.He said there are still 2001 pending cases too but they are processing the cases which are replied the 45 days letter.Looks like they are doing data entry again for the 45 day letter replied cases. Looks like they Love data entry.

SN4GC,
When you say, "but they are processing the cases which are replied the 45 days letter", Are they working on the cases to approve/deny? Because you sounded like they are doing data entry for the 45 day letter replied cases which is wierd that why they are doing data entry again?
