Predicted Priority Dates for final quarter of FY2005

Why do have to go for interview? Did you use AC21?

For all employee based GC also we have to for interview?

I thought employee based GC do not have to go for interview unless the use AC21 or other exceptional.
 
baby_mde:

Anyone who has their application for permanent residency processed by a US mission overseas (i.e. "consular processing") has to appear for an interview at the particular mission that will be adjudicating their case. This applies to everyone who goes through CP.
 
Did priority dates have been announced for the month of July for consular processing?? Any body know??
 
I do not know the exact reason why they transferred the case to the District Office
The official explanation was that "in order to speed up process" because it
was over welhming for the service centers
I was told that 10% of all cases randomly get transferred
Once the case gets transferred, all of the subsequent applications
(like AP/EAD renewals) need to be filed at Service Center where the case was filed and then they will transfer them to District Office and finally after taking their sweet time at the district office they will call you for appointment to hand over AP/EAD etc.

Nvc Does Not Know What Is "schedule A"

I received around 10 e-mails and messages from other forums who are on Schedule A that were delayed by retrogression. All of them are nurses from the PIC countries who made an inquiry at the National Visa Center to ask about the status of their cases. The nurse applicants were "SURPRISED" when the NVC representatives told them that "RETROGRESSION IS NOT YET OVER". They(NVC) do not even know that the Department of State issued a supplemental visa bulletin that made a separate category for Schedule A which is "CURRENT". And the most surprising thing of all the NVC does not know the SCHEDULE A CATEGORY!

Anybody has the same case? If they are not processing these cases chances are it would not be clearing any backlog as of June...

The shuttersman.com always right, that is waht I observerd last few months.

He may be right this time too..

Very bad luck..
 
so when will the PD's for EB3 move? given the demand of visa numbers we could be stuck forever.....
hopefully we'll get some respite when the 2006 year quota kicks in October but then i am worried as by then you would have the BRC approved applications from 2001 and 2002.....

Guys.
This is the same exact ticker he had scrolling on his web site about 10 days ago. But after that we saw few guys with PD after June 01 2002 getting approved. There may still be a hope as their website is scrolling the same ticker with an updated date. I think he's trying to get "over attention" for qualified schedule-A category.
 
I hope and wish shusterman is wrong. We all got pessimistic after we were hopeful with recent approvals because of his views.

Let’s hope that the July bulletin gives us good news. Earlier bulletins were out sometimes on 9th or 10th. It seems that this weekend is going to be a weekend filled with suspense.

shusterman is not always right

remember they mentioned their is going to be NO amendment of June Visa category and presto there was one.. so Shusterman has been known to be wrong..

at the same time letz not get too optimistic coz

"One swallow does not make spring, nor does one fine day."

we need to see more approvals before we can predict retrogression date will be beyond June 2002

Shusterman would not make such predictions unless they have solid data.. to back it up

this is my prediction based on my gut feel
___________________________________

I do not expect to see any major movement for a year... maybe some months it will move a month other months it will not..

there are 300000 case in backlog ..

assuming 200000 cases falls before Decemeber 2003

which would mean that we we will be lucky if priority date moves to June 2003 by October 2006.

After that we will probably see one month movement every month

i sure hope though my gut feel is wrong and we see a big jump in July visa category.. but thatz all we can do right now.. hope for the best and continue to pay more and more money in renewing H1B, L1B, EAD , AP and what not.

Money money money
Must be very sunny
in the USCIS world
 
Yeah, the prediction is for the EB2 to retrogress for PIC countries between Jan-Mar 2006. However these are all predictions and I see based on the PD movement it is being moved by DOS not based on the law or logic rather on the speculation. If ur job is in jeopardy etc I would advice you to take the AOS approach since you have a lot of AC21 portability to switch employers in it.

Guy's Please help.

My EB-2 PERM LC was approved with a PD of 05/31/2005. Since I am from one of the retrogression countries, I am hesitating between filing I-140 CP and I-140/I-485 here. Based on CP track, there will be a minimum of 7 to 8 months between the time filing I-140 and interview date.

Do your guys think that EB-2 would be retrogressed earlier 2006? Please share your opinions. Thanks

According to some posts here and some web sites, EB2 would retrogress starting from next year(i.e. Oct 2005). So all the best on your decision.
 
06/10/2005: EB Visa Number Prediction Update

AILA has reported that in April 2005 alone, USCIS used approximately 25,000 numbers and the number is expected to increase as the USCIS accelerates its action to reduce the processing times of employment-based I-485 applications. Considering the current trend of USCIS exhaustion of visa numbers, the State Department reportedly predicts that by July 2005, over 84% of the total FY 2005 EB visa numbers will be depleted and before the end of September 2005, total available visa numbers will disappear. This trend is expected to affect very negatively the cut-off dates of Employment-Based visas throughout the world sooner than initially predicted. Without doubt, it will also affect the visa cut-off dates for India and China negatively. Please stay tuned to this website for the development of this news.
 
Appan:
Does this mean that there are still 16% VISA nombers available between July-September? If yes, then we should still see some jump in PD for July. Don't you think so?
 
This definitely gives hope of PD going forward in the July Bulletin.
Did any one here about the July Interview dates.

Thanks,
Raghu
