If genrally oct vb There is retrogression , then this time uscis will surprise all with one -two month of forward movement....just a wish
I like that image. Looks like a snapshot of the planetary system with Saturn in the background.
Though this beyond our scope but the picture is showing Plant X or brown dwarf called Nibiru or Eris, which some believe is approacing Earth in 2012. NASA commneted on this as being internal hoax.
Hi CM,
Thank you for all you efforts on this blog. I discovered it recently and really like it. I had a question. My PD is Jan 2008 EB2I. There is little hope of it being current anytime soon. If I travel to India and my visa gets rejected or if I permanently move to India. What are my options when my PD becomes current (after moving). My I140 is approved.
Thanks,
Mamta
Retrogression seems unlikely since the demand after mid August 2007 is negligible for year 2007. Most likely the ones in the pending inventory would be pre-adudicated cases.
Retrogression will only happen for October month if by September visa available for EB2-IC are exhausted and pending PWMBs are more than 500-700. But if that will happen if will progress again in November-December 2012. Based on past year experience, DOS would rather use the full annual allocation early if lot of porting or PWMBs are seen rather than retrogresing.
Known demand after 2007 is negligible but there are thousands of applicants with PD 2007 still waiting to file I-485, which cant take majority of the spillover for FY 2012.
You can opt for Consular Procssing at consulate at your home country. In order to do this your sponsoring employeer should still be willing to provide a valid job offer letter with duties mentioned same as in PERM application.
Hi CM - My PD is EB3I Jan 2009 with old employer and currently working with new company on EAD. The current company is ready to file new application in EB2 category. Do you suggest porting or wait it out? Thanks.
Sorry...mis typed PD. It is EB3I 2003
My PD is FEB. 10, 2011. Can anyone tell when should I expect my green card?
Oops! Made mistake on my previous posting. My PD is Feb. 10, 2006 Can anyone tell when should I expect my Green Card?
CM - my priority date is May 30, 2007 EB-2 India. I filed 485 in August 2007 - waiting for GC. When do you see me getting GC?
Do you see any possibility that EB3 ROW will go current for June 06? I see through your predictions FY it will be in nov 06 and it will cross 2006 this year hopefully....
My PD is April 2008. What is the probability of getting that current next year?
Hello CM,
My PD 16 April 2007 and I am in EB2 category. Please let me know when can my PD become current.
My priority date is 10th May, 2007 EB-2 India. I filed 485 in August 2007 . When will i get my GC!?
whats about family based category other sites said its gonna back to the dates before retogression and u ?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If only we had a magic 8 ball to answer your 'when will my date become current' question. Just wait for the bulletin.
Ask Obama
So Hurricane Irene is long gone and we are back up and running.
Here is the information on quick chat that I had with our lawyer friend. As per his info - “EB2-IC with PD post December 2006, who are still not pre-adjudicated or our PWMBs should expect less approval for this fiscal Year. Most of the visa numbers available are close to be exhausted by EB1/EB2-ROW, EB3 approvals, and other remaining is expected to be used by EB2-IC strictly based on Priority Date. Any recent porting cases with old PD will see quick approvals and PD upto December 2006 will see approvals in order of PD depending upon visa numbers available. USCIS is currently working to inform DOS on prorated number of visas request that can be used and total demand post December 2006 that still needs to be catered. Based on available numbers, October VB will stay put or retrogress. Goal for USCIS is reduce oldest EB2-IC backlog as much as possible"
CM- The information presented here in should be taken at your own discretion. I have no other way of rationalizing this. Time will tell. Lately, his information has been pretty accurate. Good Luck.
why all predictions are always to do with employment why is the family base not included as important?
CM , what does this mean for EB2 I Dec 4 2007 becoming current situation for 2012 fiscal year.
Cm,
According to this report from USCIS
http://www.uscis.gov/USCIS/Resources/Reports%20and%20Studies/Immigration%20Forms%20Data/Static_files/I-140-data-2011-june.pdf
There are total of 26,993 140 approvals for the period starting Jan 1 2008 to Jun 30 2011.
Based on this will we see current in visa bulletin very soon ?
Thank you for posting this data. It seems too good to be true. Thing that is throwing me off from it is a "Quarterly Report" that is listed at the bottom of the report and my personal hunch tells me that this is the statistical data for I-140s that were approved in Q3 FY 2011 for those filed in different calendar year.
If you will compare this with the http://dashboard.uscis.gov/index.cfm?formtype=7&office=5&charttype=1 with dashboard data for I-140 on number of total completions of I-140 data for last 3 months = 9348 + 9307+ 8073 = 29839, number comes very close to those reported in above report.
So I would say do not get carried away with the published data. It is a quareterly report with approvals from the petition filed during different calendar year from 2008-2011.
It is too early to comment on this, let's wait few days for next bulletin and then jump the gun.
Hi CM,
My EB2I PD is june 2010 and i know it will take a while for my PD to become current. I am applying for my H1 extension and my project is also getting over soon.
If i dont get extension and change my status to L2 in that case Will my approved i-140 be valid and am able to file I-485 when my PD become current?
I have to think about my options and dont want to loose my GC process.
I would really appreciate you reply.
Thank You
Thanks CM , will wait for your review and analysis. I hope this does not turn out to be a stagnant year. Was really hoping that this year will bring ead that will answer a lot of problems for years of wait.
Note from USCIS website-
"Form I-140 Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker Performance Data by Class and Beneficiary Country of Birth
This quarterly report shows Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker performance data for consular-processed I-140s and does not include any associated dependents. The number of cases approved are displayed by class and beneficiary country of birth.
"
I will port. It can take you very well from 1.5-2 years. As of now it is 2 years and if few people in front of you will port in this coming year then may be 1.5 year.
Which country and category do you belong to ?
Not before April 2012.
Yes I see June 2006 to become current in FY 2012 for sure.
What is your country and category?
It totally depend upon demand data that will be reeled for this bulletin if it is any more than 4800 then you will need to wait for few months.
At least 5 months from today.
I believe go back to original date but in 2-3 month but now immediately in October.
We have not done any calculation on FB category yet hence no predictions, we aretsegeting march 2012 to add analysis w.r.t. Family based category. As of now we are collecting data.
Yes your I140 will still be valid. All you need to have is valid job offer on day of approval of GC.
hi cm
my pd feb 15 2006 EB3 when will i get my gc
thanx
My priority date is jan 2008 do you think i will get this year.
Demand Data for October 2011 is released -

October visa bulletin is out
http://www.travel.state.gov/visa/bulletin/bulletin_5560.html
My PDEB3 is June 2006 from the Philippines? When will it get current?
Hi CM,
Right on the dot for EB3 R, M and P.
Awesome, 3 months movement for EB2I. I am excited to see my date current June 8 2007.
Hi CM,
It is very good news that it moved 3months .
Could you explain how it moved 3 motnhs since EB2 hasonly 2800 for entire year and demand is 5000+3000 PMW .I would apprecite your comments.
Jul 15, 2007 Current.
Another example from USCIS and DOS that no one can ever predict them.
China and India: The current cut-off date is approaching the most favorable date previously reached for applicants from China and India. The rapid forward movement is intended to generate demand based on new filings for adjustment of status at U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services offices, which currently accounts for over 85% of all Employment-based number use. Once the level of demand increases sufficiently, it may be necessary to slow or stop the cut-off movement, and a retrogression of the cut-offs at some point during the year is a distinct possibility.
So they are planning to move the dates slowely... Not waiting for year end!!!
october visa bulletin is out and as your nice estimation it is 8 December 2005 for EB3 and Mexico and Philipino.
What is your estimation for november 2011 for EB3?
thanks CM for your hard work
April EB2 India. What is your prediction after October visa bulletin.
CM ,
EB2I PD is moved by 3 months but demand data for oct is showing same count as sept. its really surprising to see this movement where demand data remains same. any thoghts on this?
Hey Nick:
The visa bulletin clearly explains your question. They want to screen the demand.

Thanks CM. Your prediction is absolutely correct. My PD become current.
How many months do I need to wait to get the greencard? Do I need to attend for interview>
Hi CM my PD is March 2006...Do you think I will be current by December 2010 or January 2011?
In 3-4 months you should be current.
GC is doubtful but you may get current to file this year.
8-9 months from today.
Agree with Pr
We will do some estimation by next week. Thank you.
Please see our article on October VB.
Movement was to gauge some demand for FY2012.
Hi CM,
I need your suggestion. My priority date is Sept 2007. I was under the assumption that it will be 2012 before I will be current and hence planned to go to India in October for 4 weeks and get my H1B stamping done. I am full time employer and hence assumed low risk for my stamping
In the light of this new movement I am in a dilemma. Do you think I might be current in the next couple of months this year?
Any suggestions are really appreciated.
Thanks,
SR
My PD is EB2 Dec 2008 India and when do you think it will current.As well does the same applies for consular processign as Iam out of US for nearly 2 years.
Interview are rare and may only apply in complicated cases. With PD of April 16th 2007, you should be approved in month of October.
Jenny, assume you mean Dec 2011 or Jan 2012. Hoping you are EB3-ROW with PD March 2006, I believe you will be current in 4 months from today.
I think you will be current in 2-3 months. If you can postpone your travel please do so. or conversely you can file your I-485 when you are back.
It will be current same time no matter AOS or CP but you may expect GC soon as long as you are documetarlly qualified then.
December 2008 may take 2.6 years from today.
Hello CM,
My PD April 30 2007 and is current for October bulliton. I am in EB2.
(1) Could you please let me know how many days it will take to get the green card? I do not have any criminal records and working for the same company who applied my GC.
(2) If the employee fire me in next month is there any thereat to my GC?
I am feeling tension and could not able to do any work for the past 4 days. Please let me know what will happen in this scenario.
Thanks a lot.
Prabhu
It all depends upon visa number availability. You may get green card in October. In case you lose job before your GC approval and USCIS will not ask for Employment Verification Letter again, you may get your green card but could (not) run into issue during naturalization. In case you will be let go before approval please try to get similar job on approval and work for few days. .
Thanks CM for the details.
Documentarily qualified? could you detail on the same.
Thank you verymuch for your quick reply.
Thanks a lot for your reply.
If you will opt for CP case then you will receive Visa Bill from NVC to pay fees atleast 8-9 months before which they think your PD will be current. Once you wil receive visa bill for NVC and you will pay that, you cna expect Packet 3 from them where you will be asked to submit DS-230 with all the required documents. Once NVC will receive all the documents and is satisfied with it, they will mark you "documentarily qualified" and now you will be part of demand data. Once your data will be current and at that time your are "documentarily qualified", then only you will be called for Consular Interview to receive GC> From fay you receive Visa Bill to day you are documentarily qualified, it can take 8-12 months.
Opps..I meant December 2011 to Jan 2012..
Wow, so I would be current by Jan 2012 if you count it from today? That's great news.. I hope your predictions would come true!..More power!..
Hello CM,
My priority date is June 2009 under EB2 category. Could you predict approximately how many years it will take it to become current.
Thanks
Amish
Hello
My priority date is july 2008 eb3 india. When are the chances of current.Appreciate your reply.Thanks
Thanks
Sneha
Around 3-3.5 years from today if nothing changed.
Around 1.5 years from today if you are EB2. If you are EB3, it will be at least decade. If possible I will port to EB2 after attaining few years of experience.
Thanks CM!. I am also planning to port to EB2.A start up company has agreed to process under EB2.Hope they will initiate soon.Between I am Chartered accountant from India, which means i have only 3 year degree.I have good number of years of experience in countries out side USA.I also have 4 years of experience in USA in the most popular ERP software.Can you please give your idea, if our case will be approved for EB2.Getting GC is very vital for me as our son will be soon turning 21 in 2 years.
What will be my sons status if I dont get GC within 2 years.We have I-140 approved under EB3.Thanks for your time.
Thanks

Hi CM,
My PD is Sept. 2007, EB3 from Philippines, do you think when can I get my GC?
Thank you...
3 year degree is always a concern wrt EB2 approval but there are many cases approved for EB2 with 3 year degree. Getting PERM also depends upon job requirements and not only on what experience you have. If job is EB2 qualified you should be fine.
As long as your I-485 case is pending before sone turns 21, you should be fine. If not then he will have to go through his own petition EB or FB based. Time when your I-140 is pending can be removed from your son's total age. E.g. Case pending for 6 months allows you to minus 6 months from you son's age for I485 purposes. So if it make sense file your new I140 via regular than PP as it may take a year from today before your case is current. Whenever your case become current you can change it to PP. Talk to lawyer about this.
2-3 years at least from today.
Thanks CM
Hi CM,
Iam so encouraged to write here since I can see that you answer real fast.
Myhusband has applied the GC through a parent company and the PD is Sep 2007 (EB2). Once the project through the parent company ended, it was real difficult for him to find a job on a corp- corp basic and he is now working as a contractual with the EAD from my G4 visa. Since the PD had progressed, he is trying back to get a corp-corp project. Is this going to affect GC processing in any way? Please advise.
Thanks,
SP
I have Question , when do you think i am able to file my I-485 (EB2) , My Pd is 6 June 2008 and when i can expect GC
Yes when he will file for I-485 based on his PD he will need to submit employment verification letter saying a full-time job is available to him with aforementioned job duties and salary. Job has to be on full-time basis from a company although he might work on corp-corp basis for client. I will suggest that before he submit for his AOS, he should secure such job.
Best case to get current will be around Sep-Dec 2012.
I found a new job with similar responsibilities. Is it safe to join now since my PD is current. or do I need to wait until I get GC?

Hello CM,
I just want to know something from you about my friend's situation.She has an approved I-14o and she is on the last year of her H1B 6 year limit. Since her PD is not yet current, she filed I-129 for her extension of stay 6 months before her visa expires but the processing was delayed due to RFE.She responded for the RFE and the uscis received it less than 2 months before her visa expires. My questions are: will she be considered out of status if her visa expires before she will receive the final decision? When her PD becomes current and will file I-485, will she have trouble about this lapsed time between her visa expiration and receiving of her visa extension?
It is just matter of time before you will receive approval. Once approved you should work for your sponsored employer for some time. There is no risk with changing jobs at this time as long it is before approval and you can make sure AC21 and new EVL is submitted before approval. Personally I will pass on this opportunity now due to added complications.
Once case is filed before visa expiry she is in legal status. No problem with lapsed time as her approval will have dates from her visa expiration date.
Hi CM,
truly appreciate your blog. Your efforts are comendable. My pd is april 22 2002, which became current this april. I'm an Indian filed under EB3 category. Could you please perdict when would i get my GC and the interview stage prior to it?
