What will Happen to Worldwide EB2/EB3 and Other Categories?
©MurthyDotCom
With the new addition of the Schedule A category to the June 2005 Visa Bulletin, it will be necessary to wait until the July 2005 Visa Bulletin to see if this Schedule A category has any immediate impact on the availability of EB3 worldwide visa numbers, generally. Improvement is fairly unlikely, however, as the Visa Bulletin recorded telephone message indicates that, for the remainder of Fiscal Year 2005, visa numbers for EB2 and EB3 cannot be taken for granted. The DOS recording advises that the quantity of visa numbers available in these employment-based categories will be extremely limited during the final quarter of the fiscal year, July through September 2005.
 
I apologise for being so naive on an issue but could anyone please explain if allocation of 50000 numbers to schedule A catagory should help the regular EB3 cases? if yes, how does that happen..
 
What is "Targeted Employment Areas / Regional Centers" category? Never seen that...any info. please!

Sadly, it does not help the regular EB3 cases. According to my understanding it is only for Nurses, PT's, performing artist with exceptional ability who are separated as Schedule A Category.
 
if the nursues and PT's had originally applied in the EB3 category then there will be some movement in the EB3 category as the Schedule A now has a separate category freeing up some visa numbers in EB2 or EB3.

ddd999 and others:

The tracker can be a little confusing at first, but it is actually quite helpful.

It is read from left to right. The header columns indicate actions taken by USCIS/NVC/Consulate on a given individual's case. In the columns themselves, individuals fill out the date a given action is taken.

Thus, for e.g. in a particular individual's case, say, their I-140 might have been approved on Jan 17, 2005; NVC creates the case on February 10, 2005, issues the fee-statement on Feb. 30, 2005, etc. etc. As they go through the stages, they update the website as to the progress of their papers.

Basically, it is a voluntary, self-reporting system by which individuals who have paperwork in the CP pipeline, report on the internet how far along they are in the pipeline, and how fast their paperwork is moving. The more individuals that fill out their information on CPtracker, the better the quality of the information is. Looking at the site, one can get a rough idea of how long, say, the NVC is taking to send out Packet 3 after the fee has been received, or, how long a particular consulate is taking to schedule people for interivews after the case reaches them, etc.

Obviously, the reliability of the information is directly proportional to the number of people reporting. So -- an exhortation to everyone on here, if you haven't already, fill out your details on CPtracker, and please make it a point to update it as you move through. It helps and affects more people than one realizes, and improves the quality of data the site provides others in the process. This is a very simple way for all of us to help everyone else in this rather bewildering, complicating process that we have such a stake in.

Jan 2003 PD approved case is from India & in EB3

But the December 2003 PD Case is not from country I/C/P. So at least one case from 2003, unless there is really a big misunderstanding.

:cool:
 
These cases may be approved due to long hold RFE responses. May be they responded RFE which was issued b4 PD regression and now they are getting approvals.
 
See technically it should not matter when RFE was issued. He does not have PD, so he should't have got approved.

It could be even mistake or PDs are moving.

If PD are moving because of Sched A, if may not help for Indians but may helpfull for Philiphines. As we know more tech guys from India.
 
I do not think that is a correct statement
case EB3 and PD Sept 2002
was transferred to District Office
They scheduled appointment in Jan 2005

But the officer could not approve the case until the PD was current
no Visa number will be generated if PD is not current
