With launch of PERM and no tangible progress of the backlog processing centers it is quite possible that the new PERM applicants will get approvals long before people who have been waiting 3 and more years in RIR and TR queues. Apparently those fast approved will file their I-140 and some who are not affected by the visa retrogress also I-485. There is quite a good chance that those new application will clog the system and by the time the old DOL applicants are ready to submit their I-140 (I– I485) there will be another backlog at CIS. Ask your lawyers and employers to do their best not to allow another unfair treatment.
