Hello Everyone
I know that lot of people are waiting for 485 in EB3 with 140 already
approved and 485 not because of priority date. I read from murthy site
that DOS indicated that for the remainder of the year PD is not going
to go forward or backward. Meaning its not good for people whose
PD > June 2002.
Anybody has any knowledge on this?

thx
babu.
 
YES. IT IS NOT GOOD FOR FOLKS WHOSE PRIORITY DATE IS AFTER O1 JUNE 2002. THERE IS NOTHING MORE TO SAY EXCEPT THAT WE HOPE THAT THERE IS MOVEMENT FROM NOW UNTIL END OF FY2005

"04/15/2005: State Department Informal Prediction of Employment-Based Prioriy Date Retrogression in FY 2005 and FY 2006

The following information has been provided to the AILA in the form of Q&A:

FY 2005 Retrogression Until 09/30/2005:
EB-1: Current
EB-2: Current
EB-3: Remain where it is now, meaning that India, China, and Filipino priority date will move slow and not become current. Worldwide will remain current.
EB-3 (Other Workers): Unavailable (in the near future).

FY 2006 Retrogression (10/01/2005 - 09/30/2006):
EB-1: China and India may be oversubscribed and experience retrogression, sometime during the FY 2006. Filipino and worldwide will remain current.
EB-2: China and India may be oversubscribed and experience retrogression, sometime during the FY 2006. Filipino and worldwide will remain current.
EB-3: Slow movement of cut-off dates for China and India or in the worst case may retrogress further, depending on the pace of the USCIS I-485 backlog reduction speed. "

Similar predictions in http://www.murthy.com/news/n_visdat.html
"This category, which experienced retrogression starting on January 1, 2005 for persons from India, mainland China, and the Philippines, should continue to see forward movement in the priority dates" and "The DOS is working carefully in an attempt to prevent any further EB3 retrogressions for now."
As discussed in various posts, these "predictions" vary from month to month!

As I understand, the factors contributing to should be
A) whether H.R. 139 Act (recapture for Health Care Professionals and as a consequence rest of EB3) is passed or not
B) USCIS goes ahead on AC21 provisions which allow for recapture
C) if less than 27% each has been utilized in the earlier quarters due to cautious planning.
 
Vibrant,

With the utmost respect, please keep your chat postings short and sweet..I stopped reading your reply after the first 2 paragraphs. All of us have advanced access to the Internet and hence much easier to read the detailed news from the source rather than long postings.

I still stand by my original chat posting. There is going to be no significant movement past June 2002 until start of FY2006.

Good Luck
