Hi guys,
Seems like no good news from BEC for some time now. Lets discuss something interesting until we hear some good news...
I have few things to clarify. Can some one answer these:
1. Approximate backloged labour applications DOL says is 300,000. I assume that it could be around 350,000 by now(all Regular or RIR applications until March 28th 2005). My questions is: Is all these applications either EB2 or EB3 Skilled category? Or does this contain EB3-non skilled (less that 2 years exp or with our Bachelors degree) as well?
2. Out of these 350,000 how many would be EB2 and How many EB3 Skilled? Is there a place to view this details? And is there place to view the country of the applicant? My aim is to find an approximate number of EB2/EB3(Skilled) application filed for Indians/Chinese/Philippines as these are the countries affected by the retrogression.
3. I noticed from different sources that the I485/I140 processing is very fast now a days compared to the previous years. I would like reach a conclusion whether PERM processing in EB2 or even EB3 will be faster FOR Indians/Chines/Phil? If we get a real math on how many EB2/EB3(skilled) cases pending, we could easily reach a conclusion.
4. I also heard about the bill which mostly ma pass regarding the unused EB3 visa numbers of 2001-2004 which basically would help scheduleA applications for 50% of quota but the good thing is that the rest 50% will help other EB3 Skilled candidates.
5. Also, do any bodu know how many EB2 and EB3 applications filed (I140) each year for each country? There should be some place to view this information ...right?
