Everyone keeps wondering how far the number will regress.
Well I looked a few things up just to see what the priority dates were before everything was current.

Employment Based Catagories

In June 2001 Visa Bulletin

1rst preference all countries (those countries with limits also) were current.

2nd preference all countires (those countries with limits also) were current.

3rd preference all countires were current EXCEPT INDIA their priority date was 01-JAN-1999.

Other workers all countries and those with limits the priority date was 01-May-1999.

4th preference all catagories (those countries with limits also) were current.

Certain Religious workers (those countries with limits also) were current.

5th preference (those countries with limits also) were current.

From July 2001 onwards things have been current.
Just for reference China used to be a country with limits also; that was until December 2001 and since then they are not a country with limits, Now its just India, Mexico and the Phillipines.
