So what happens to family members?
You want to provide for the visa for the family of every labor that gets approved, so 1 labor = 2.5 visas? And you want to deduct 40,000 of EB1 who are not in Labor Queue and use roughly that many. And Nurses & PTs (and their families) dip into EB3 as long as it is available before going to the recaptured 50K. So what is your prediction now?
Want more confusion, how much of unused family visas would get added to next year's EB?
No offence meant to you, just the frustration at the mess!
Have fun,
Hanuman.

c9411010 said:we have 350K backlog cases. Rajeev in the conference mentioned a major portion of it falls in the latter half of 2003 and 2004.. so i am ASSUMING 150000 employment cases are pending prior to June 2003 and the remaining 200000 cases have a priority date after June 2003... every year 140000 visas are released. since the cut off date was june 2002, and the rate at which the backlog cases are being clared i am ASSUMING these cases will be approved as compared to cases with a later priority date ...
based on this and it is not a scientific study but general gut feel that the new 140000 cases will go towards approval of these 150000 cases and hence i am projecting that starting october 2005 we will start seeing the priority date moving one month every month which means by september of 2006 the priority date should be around june 2003
pls note as already mentioned it is not a scientific study but the way i read the situation
