The substantial advances predicted for the EB-2 India category failed to
materialize in May, and absent legislative action, we don’t believe there
will ever be a significant forward movement in this category. Why? The
reason is simple: do the numbers.
First, the good news. EB-2 India advanced for the first time since last
September, but only by seven weeks. EB-2 China advanced as well, but only
three weeks. Both EB-2 India and China will continue to advance each month
this fiscal year. Why? Since the State Department predicts that the 140,000
numbers allocated to EB applicants will not be used this fiscal year, the
law allows the seven percent limitation for both countries to be waived.
Now, the bad news. The forward movement of EB-2 China and India will only
be a few weeks each month. Last month, the State Department announced that
there were over 12,000 unused EB-1 numbers which will be added to the normal
EB-2 allocation this fiscal year. However, there are over 17,000 persons
with 2006 priority dates with pending applications for adjustment of status
in the EB-2 category. Over 13,000 of these persons were born in India, and
over 4,000 of them were born in China. This means that even with the
addition of 12,000 extra numbers, no one from China or India with a priority
date subsequent to 2006 will receive a green card this fiscal year.
Leaving the EB-2 category aside, what was the story for the family
categories and the other employment-based categories?
Family Categories
Two of the worldwide family categories (1st and 2B) failed to move in May,
while the others advanced modestly, between five and nine weeks. The
biggest move occurred in the Mexican 2B category which advanced six months.
Good news for the Philippine family categories which advanced between one
month to over three months.
Employment Categories
The worldwide EB-3 category for professionals and skilled workers advanced
four weeks while the worldwide EB-3 category for unskilled workers moved
forward six weeks. The most significant advance was in the Mexican EB-3
category for professionals and skilled workers which moved forward four
months.
