This was kinda expected as its the year ending ...
But did not expect EB3 India to go back ..I doubt if they had enough approvals in EB3 india to retrogress it further back ...

lets wait for October bulletin and like many years we had been hoping , there would be light at the end of the tunnel .

till then keep smilin' :)

Yes!
But now I have decided to quit worrying over these bulletins which make no sense.
My PD is April 30th 2001 (EB3-INDIA). So near yet so far......
 
eb2 might retrogress further

My guess is, EB2 might retrogress further by another 6months to 1 year from current date of 1Jan03 - (to Jun 02 or Jan02), when the quota re-opens up again in October....

Last time, when EB3 became Unavailable last year in July 05, they retrogressed all categories massively! Hope they do not resort such extreme measures again...


This sucks...struggled to become Current and then back to retrogressed again...
 
Surprisingly, EB2- Rest of the World is still current!

Surprisingly, EB2- Rest of the World is still current!

all the predictions were pointing towards retrogression of EB2 (Rest of the World)...

When EB2- World is still available, I wonder why USCIS retrogressed EB2-India...
 
Retrogression ...or SKIL Bill aproval ???

I think the EB2(WW) , are just few of them and probably will advance faster with those , but unfortunately the most EB2 remainig are from India , and i think that's why they stop them , probably there are a lot of them left in process !!!
Just a thought !!!
With EB3 cases , i think there are to many , because of retrogression , and their cap on visa numbers left doesn't cover all of those too !!!
Just another thought !!!
Finally , i think this stagnation will proof that , how somebody else said , will be another retrogression , or , the best part will be , they will aprove the SKIL Bill introduced in the House , so they will finish for a while , at least , with this retrogression process !!! Hopefully will be my second guess , that will help a lot of our cases to be done faster !!!
That's what i think , what about your thought ... gurus ???

For the September Visa Buletin doesn't look good also , maibe will be worse , who knows what we can expect again ???
Everybody , if you read paragraphs D and E on the August Visa Buletin , you can make your conclusions !!!

God help us , we are in your hands !!!
 
The following is from November 2005 visa bulletin published October 2005.

"During FY-2006, due to anticipated heavy demand, the AC21 provisions are not expected to apply, and the amount of Employment numbers available to any single country will be subject to the 7% cap."

Well, now I realized it is not DOS but again its me who was not upto date with the trend. This means that India cannot go beyond its 7% using unused visas. In the same bulletin there is something that indicated that it allocated too many visas to India in the past. Most likely DOS does not take any action until ROW eb3, eb2 and eb1 are current. Now I have also understood why the perm is necessary at the this time for row. Perm helps row move faster thatway in the loooooong run helping India when all the row is current.

There will not be any spillover to any India categories in the near future. This is the reason why India eb2 went unavailable. EB1 will soon follow the case. Eventhough eb3 moves, it was like unavailable for a long time. 1400 greencards a year in each category (excluding spouses from this ordeal) is hardly enough for India. I doubt there would be any encouraging direction in future as India had consumed too many visas in the past years. This is sort of balancing act as far as DOS is concerned. Only a change of heart can save India.

This is really bad for India as most of the people applied for 485 after spending nearly many years in BEC (that itself a retrogression).

Lesson learned -- Never anticipate the bulletin, just read it when it comes. Samething for GC too
