EB2 India retrogresses back to January 1 2000 in June 2009 bulletin
Many have written to us about this horrible event. Another inexplicable move by USCIS putting the lives and hopes of many Indian immigrants in trouble. Thankfully, all other countries are safe so far.
The bulletin is available at June 2009 visa bulletin
Reactions to this on forums and in blogs has been as expected - shock. But well, us immigrants are sort of used to that. USCIS has always kept us on the edge of our seats, whether it is the cutoff dates, or address changes, or approvals of I-140 that take 2 years at times.
This move, in short, means there is very little hope for any further EB2 approvals until October 2009. Even after that, there is no saying how much will open up. For Eb3, life remains just as hopeless as it ever was. We’ve been saying this for a while now that green card approval for EB3 Indian immigrants will take another 5+ years at the current rate. Remember that many of them have been waiting 5 years already! The trouble is that USCIS knows that but still doesn’t seem to care.
