March 2015 Visa Bulletin was released earlier today.
EB2:
Date for EB2 India moved from 01 SEP 05 to 01 JAN 07. EB2 China moved from 15 MAR 10 to 01 SEP 10. The cut-off for all other EB2 countries are Current.
Good News is that EB2 India have started moving earlier than expected and it is moving fast. Another, good news is EB2 China is moving forward.
If you are waiting to file I-485, please use this opportunity to gather all the documents and keep it in place:

EB3:
Cut-off dates for EB3 India moved from 22 DEC 03 to 01 JAN 04. EB3 China moved from 01 SEP 11 to 22 OCT 11. For all other countries the date moved from 01 JAN 14 to 01 JUN 14.
Good news is the dates for all the countries have moved.
I-485 Pending inventory:
I-485 pending inventory data was also released earlier today.
Current I-485 inventory shows, For EB2 India, there are 21,082 pending applications, whose priority is before 01 MAY 2010. This number was 20,263 in the previous edition. For EB3 India, it is 27,472 applicants before 01 SEPT 2007 Priority date. It was 29,422 in previous edition.
What to Expect Next Few Months:
For EB3 India:
I am hoping it will move 2 weeks every Visa Bulletin, at the very least one week.
For EB2 India:
I expected the dates to stay the same till June. But, DOS is using a different strategy this time. They have moved a little in Feb Bulletin and they moved more than an year in Mar Bulletin. I am hoping they keep the forward movement trend.

I think by September, EB2 will be Dec 2010 or Feb 2011
ReplyDeleteI485 pending inventory is just out .. There are around 21,000 people waiting as of May 2010. Do you still think Dec 2010 is possible ??
DeleteMy bet on this is Sep - Oct 2009.
I am sorry but there is no way date is moving to 2010. The strategy this time around is to get interfilers moved across and reducing the backlog in EB3. You will also see a lot of porting between EB3 to EB2 and thus increasing the inventory of applicants. at best, it might move until end of 2009 or early 2010.
DeleteNC: How did your calculation work out to Dec/2010 or Feb/2011 for EB2-India? Please elaborate.
DeleteThanks.
Sorry if this question was asked before but has the demand for EB2 after 2010 increased a lot as compared to its demand between 2005-2007?
ReplyDeleteYes, demand for EB2 has gone up and the average wait times have also gone up. Whereas it was 4-5 year wait prior, 6-7 year wait time is becoming the norm.
DeleteHope so as always.
ReplyDeleteAmbal- looking at current trend of movement on EB2 , do you think that by May or June the dates will go beyond May 2010 ? Please suggest
ReplyDeleteslim chance of movement to 2010. At best, we might see movement upto early 2010.
DeletePlease sign this petition everyone....
ReplyDeletehttps://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/modernize-improve-and-clarify-immigrant-and-non-immigrant-visa-program-year/TlNS0dgv
can we see PD June 2011 by the End 2015?
ReplyDeletesorry to say that but definitely the dates will not move to June 2011 by end of 2015
DeleteNo way date is moving to 2011. Unless miracle happens.
DeleteVery less chance with the exiting policy. More chance in 2016.
DeleteHow about June 2010???
DeleteAmbals,
ReplyDeleteHow does this EB2I early movement of dates effects 2014 filers? I have PD Dec 2008 in EB2I, applied last year, got the EAD and waiting for GC. How many EB3 to EB2 portars may consume the visa numbers before my PD is current this year and what are my chances to get GC this year?
My PD is 27th August 2010, EB2. Can I expect EAD by Dec 2015?
ReplyDeleteHi Ambals,
ReplyDeleteMy PD is 14th Oct 2008, EB2 India.
I got my EAD last year. When do you think my PD will be current
you will be current in two months
DeleteHi Ambals
ReplyDeleteWhat about your prediction? . My PD is May 01, 2008,EB2-I., I got EAD last month.
My PD is February, 2015 in EB2. How many years do I have to wait from now to get my GC? Also given that reforms are on the way and the list seems to be swinging quite fast lately will this take longer than 5 years?
ReplyDeleteCurrent trend is 6 to 7 years
DeleteHi, I feel UCSIS is planning to give EAD for all 140 approved cases depening on the load their employees can take per month.
ReplyDeleteSo, the movement will be faster in coming months.
Yeah I think they are working on clearing up the backlogs and people in limbo lately. Hoping for the best, fingers crossed!
DeleteIs it true that all approved I 140 are getting EAD's automatically??
ReplyDeleteJust curious... do you know of anyone who got...
DeleteHi, My PD is May 2004 EB3, Is there any chance my PD to be current this yr?
ReplyDeleteHi, My PD is Aug 2011 EB2. When do you think it can become current. Thank you
ReplyDeleteHi, My PD is April 2004 EB3, Is there any chance my PD to be current this Year?
ReplyDeleteHi Amabls, my pd is on march 19, 2010. How does it look for ead and green card? Thanks in advance.
ReplyDeleteHello Everyone, My PD is March 8, 2010. I have EAD since last two years,can I get my GC this year?
ReplyDeleteThanks:
Chances are very slim for EB2 India after Nov 1st 2009 PD.
DeleteHow a person who has March 8, 2010 PD has EAD but not March 19th, 2010? Makes me wonder...
ReplyDeletePlease Put some thoughts for Aug 2011 EB2.
ReplyDeleteWhen do you think we can get atleast the EAD?
You know, EAD is the New GC these days.
Thanks.
other is a porter :)

With the current demand data, EB2 India will be 7 years plus
ReplyDeleteWhom you replied? 7 Years is for GC or for EAD? EAD is somewhat people are satisfied these days.
DeleteEAD
ReplyDeleteMy PD dec 2004 eb3, Is there any chance to be current next year 2016 ?
ReplyDeleteMy PD is Dec 2003 eb3 india & it's current now. But the online case check didn't show any update.applied 485 in 2007. How long will it take to see any update or get any reply from usics?
ReplyDeleteThanks
This, to me, is already an agenda under Mr. President's immigration reform .. The petition is to get it done this year ??
ReplyDeleteDo we know for certain this is not happening this year ?
One should refrain from creating petitions that are already a part of the agenda. We still don't know for sure that the proposed rule will not by implemented in 2015.
Little patience would help !!
Not sure how long you been waiting for...but some of us are really waiting for more than 12 years....I think that's enough of patience....
ReplyDeleteBad news??!!
ReplyDeletehttp://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2956581/Federal-judge-stalls-Obamas-executive-action-immigration.html
Does it also halt....fixing "legal immigration system," particularly employment-based immigration system in the Obama's immigration actions of November 2014??
DeleteThis info is from Oh law firm
DeleteYesterday's judge order will halt implementation of "Expandded" DACA program and "DAPA" program for undocumented parents of U.S. Citizens and Permanent Residents. It does not cover implementation of the initial DACA program which was initiated in June 2008. Accordingly, current DACA Dreamers are not affected by this injunction for their extension of DACA benefits. Besides, the injunction does not cover any programs of fixing "legal immigration system," particularly employment-based immigration system in the Obama's immigration actions of November 2014.
I understand that ... Most of us have to wait real long ... When something is brewing, you just got to wait to see how it shapes up. I'm not for attaching a timeline to something that is being considered ..
ReplyDeleteWho will be eligible for H4-EAD rule? Found so much information on the net but nothing that talks about exact point. Do all H4's come into this rule or only some H4's whose spouses are in US for a specific duration... Does anyone have this information?
ReplyDeleteThanks in advance.
Note that your H1B spouse must either (a) have an approved I-140, or (b) have extended H1B status beyond six years based on the American Competitiveness in the Twenty-First Century Act (AC21) (i.e. Extended beyond six years based on a PERM labor certification or I-140 pending for at least 365 days).
DeleteThe instruction form would give more details for H4 - EAD.

My Prediction for next month visa bulletin April 2015 India EB2 would be : March 2007 and EB3 would be : July 2004.
ReplyDeleteThanks No discussion required.. Remember my Prediction. I am not immigration lawyer but I am waiting since long time for EB & couple of time I predicted with friends those are accurate or around but not false. (if I predict for month of March 2007 EB2 maybe it will move possible April 2007 or Feb 2007 but it will not going to jump Year 2009 or year 2010). go back and look year 2007 how they worked in past..
no i feel next bulletin is goin to Mar/Apr/Feb 2008 and then after that the next bulletin will take it to Apr/May/June 2009
DeleteIs your prediction based on any logic ? Or, just picked a random month and year that came to your mind ?
DeleteNot Random, check Visa Bulleting and find Year by year, see missing months for those categories.. that's the backlog, check last bulletins why they worked back for EB2 EB3 which are current on those years like 2003 etc but if you see year 2003 and 2004 some months were not current. I calculated and made excel sheet work found what I mentioned top. I am not astrologer but I am an Indian waiting for EB3 GC since long time. so lets see that would be around months I mentioned and year will be same what I mentioned... keep your eyes on it.. trust me that would be no move what you mentioned ..
DeleteWhat are the chance for me EB2 INDIA PD is MAR 2009, got EAD
ReplyDeleteMr Anonymous,Why don't you start astrology palmistry numerology business on immigration though you are not a lawyer.
ReplyDeleteThis is not anout astrology.. do some workout based on the year which PD on this month bulletin. checkout old visa bulletins. Search and arrange why that month of that year now PD announced. based on that I posted here.. I don't have time to type this much longer text or I don't like to scared people like you who majorly trust on astrology but lazy people don't like to calculate backlog. If you real person and waiting for GC since longtime trust me how bad is to work on H1B atleast nearly to decade with Desi consulting firms. those guys are blood sucker. so do not trust astrology more. start counting now.. and keep eyes on my replies..
DeleteEB3 India, priority date 2/14/2003. Came in 1999 on F1. Priority date became current in Aug. 2013. 18 months and still no movement. Finger printed 7 times. Congressional inquiries have not helped either. Don't want to go the writ mandamus route. I get a chuckle when folks who applied in 2008-2009 jump up and down.
ReplyDeleteEB3 India, priority date 2/14/2003, Interesting .. why are you still waiting by the way? You can upgrade after 5 years to EB2 like others do and making the EB2 line longggggg... Why did not you join EB2 Line.. By this time you will have GC :)
ReplyDeleteThis can result into never ending deadlock for EB2.
ReplyDeleteMy PD is April 2004 EB3, will it become current this year? Thanks for answering.
ReplyDeleteOurs is feb 2004 does any one think it will be current this year
ReplyDeleteMy PD is Mar 2008. Applied 485 before the date retrogressed. Got ead last month. In how many days will i get my GC after the date become current.
ReplyDeleteI m in the same boat. Any ideas?
DeleteI am in the sane boat as the previous poster. Any idea anyone?
ReplyDeleteDear All,
ReplyDeleteI would like to let you all know that I got the "Card Production Ordered" mail today.
My PD is EB3 I - 11Dec2003.
In the US since 2001. So, finally getting Greened after more than a decade.
Wish all of you who are waiting for GC...that you get it soon.
I would like to thank Ambals for your good work in clarifying the questions of thousands of GC aspirants.
Congrats
DeleteCongrats..

FInally, the H4 EAD rule will be effective from May 26th 2015
ReplyDeletehttp://www.uscis.gov/news/dhs-extends-eligibility-employment-authorization-certain-h-4-dependent-spouses-h-1b-nonimmigrants-seeking-employment-based-lawful-permanent-residence
I recently changed my employer, but I have I-140 approved, you think I can still apply this EAD for my wife? Your response will be appreciated.
ReplyDeleteI have same question.Here is what the response to comments in the rule says
DeleteFewer than a dozen commenters requested that DHS extend employment
authorization to H-4 dependent spouses in cases where the H-1B nonimmigrants have
transferred their employment to a new employer and are in the process of obtaining
approval of a new Form I-140 petition. As noted above, however, authorizing
employment based solely on the filing (rather than the approval) of a PERM application
or Form I-140 petition is likely to encourage frivolous filings to allow the H-4 dependent
spouse to obtain employment authorization while the filings remain pending. DHS thus
is not extending this rule on the basis of pending PERM applications or Form I-140
petitions. By requiring that a Form I-140 petition first be approved, DHS will further
disincentivize frivolous filings and better serve the goal of extending the immigration
benefit of this rule to only those spouses of H-1B nonimmigrants who are genuinely on
the path to lawful permanent residence
If I understand that right, it would mean NO, which is very disappointing! Any thoughts?
I would like to add that If H1B is beyond year 6 then H4 EAD possible (this is the AC21 clause) otherwise based on what I posted previously it does not look possible
DeleteI have been a patient follower of your forum for a long time. Kudos to you for the great work. A quick question: I and my wife filed our I-485 in Sept 2014 (last year), and my priority date under EB2 is Feb 2011. We have the EAD card & AP. How soon do you expect we get our GC? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWhich country?
DeleteIndia
Deletehow did you filed your 485 when dates were not current? Dates were never beyond may-2010. Your PD Feb-2011 and how it was possible unless dates were current.
DeleteSeriously? You filed I-485 without your PD been current and you still received EAD? Is that possible?
DeleteMy bad! PD was Feb 2009.
DeleteMy PD is also Feb 2009 and submitted 485 in Sep 2014. received my this week. Wife and kid still in process. Hope this gives you hope.
DeleteOMG ... You serious man! How can it be possible? PD is not current. I thought it get's in the backlog again since the dates retrogressed, no?
DeleteI am Original Poster on this thread. Correction: PD is Feb 2009. Can the gurus provide direction when can I potentially get GC? This year - any chance?
DeleteI wonder how it is possible to file for I-485 under EB2 and get EAD, when dates never became current more than May 2010 under eb2..
ReplyDelete...Unless it is other than India..
ReplyDeleteGod knows....when this immigration system will improve.?? A same level of talent can have EAD but the others has to wait for years and years.....
ReplyDeleteThat's right....God knows when will they wake up and improve it. When will this political fight will be over....???
DeleteAny kind of job other than IT is also allowed on H4-EAD?
ReplyDeleteWhy you are asking such a dumb question? And also do you even bother to research and read other blogs too regarding H4 EAD. DesiDumberUSA...
DeleteYeah, Its not about Arrogance or Education.. It's about common sense and taking your lazy a** to do some research and not asking silly questions. If i were your manager i would have fired you 3 times... No Offense...
DeleteI feel that the earlier reply is not arrogant. He is telling the truth. Please do homework before asking questions.
DeleteIf homework needs to be done earlier, then why you all are here to know your GC prediction? Cant you do it on other web site before posting your question here? There are 10 other sites which clearly mentions about PD. Since you are not the owner of this blog, lets leave it to the admin what question is appropriate to ask. If you had a good quality of manager, you would never had used such words here "DesiDumberUSA". You need to mind your language. No one will like to work with such a manager if you become in near future.
DeleteAlso, You have no right to talk such a filthy language as "taking your lazy a** to do some research"..
DeleteKindly do not use such abusive language in this forum. Since you are not admin, you have no right to use any such words about anyone.
My sincere advice to you is to learn proper English before you apply for a job.
DeleteI did not ask you this question, you are not supposed to reply if you did not wish, no one is forcing here to respond.. Moreover, You are not admin who will decide what to ask and what not to.
DeleteCant you see current PD as old year, still why you keep on asking stupid question when your PD will be current..
Of course, I had read on other sites about rules but I still had some questions and before I could ask something else, you started using such filthy words.. This blog is about sharing and helping people, not for your dirty language.
if you think your way to talk on this blog is so nice about your such words as 'Moving Lazy axx, desidumb' etc , then please keep on using such words at home and in your office, but not on other people who do not need your advise.
Received my GC approval in the mail early this week. Priority Feb 2009 485 filed Sept 15 2014. Card to arrive.
ReplyDeleteDependents 485 still in process.
How come Feb 2009 GC approved??
DeleteThe PD is not current yet ??
are you a special case?
Dude, Feb 2009 people has got EAD long back .. This date has been visited twice... No wonder why not he should have gotten his GC... Research on PD history pls.
DeleteI have got the EAD. My wife has bachelors in computer science from India, but no work experience. Any suggestions on finding a job without work experience (preferably in IT)?
ReplyDeletePD is 2011 Feb EB2I
ReplyDeleteGot EAD last month.
How soon will I get my GC ?
How can you get you EAD last month.... in EB2 India????
DeleteHe is messing with us here, He is in Cloud 9 and has totally forgot about his PD which is not 2011? Must be saying Who Cares, I have atleast have E f**in AD .. LOL
DeleteOR he is not Indian ...
Shona Babi immigration voice have already collected that from White House you did not get that yet hmmmm ask pappu might be in his pocket
DeleteHello Ambals,
ReplyDeleteMy priority date is March 24th, 2008 -- EB2-I. My I-485 was filed last year in July. Any possibility for a GC this year?
Thank you.
Hi..I wonder why didn't you get it yet. Did you get any RFE. Mine is Mar 8 2008 and applied 485 on oct 22nd. Since you have not got it, I am worried on when will I get.
Deleteare you in Texas service center. Their processing date is jul 27
DeleteHi, My PD is Fen 10th 2010 on EB2, ported from EB3 and waiting for my PD to file 485. any guess when my PD will become current??

Sir, My P.D Oct.2006, India EB3 catagory, any possibility
ReplyDeleteof being current in 2015?
Thanking you
Franklin.
Thanks for the information....Let's see when they actually start implementing...
ReplyDeleteShould we expect any implementation soon after this teleconference like H4 EAD rule?
ReplyDeleteRequest to all EB3-India guys to start porting to EB2-India asap.
ReplyDeleteApply on premium and port.
Do as much porting as possible to get GC.
Eb2-India may never move .......
do you mean EB-3 India may never move? why than open EB3 , wipe out all... you mean to say EB3 desis Go back.... (Like Simon Go BACK??)....
DeleteYou didn't get the sarcasm of this post, What He or She trying to say is because they have a long wait to get GC or even EAD, He would like to make EB2 People also suffer.. That is why is requesting all EB3's to get converted to EB2 so that they can clog the pipeline ... These kind of mindset should be sent back...
DeleteHi All, I am on EB3 because of BSC - IT degree only (it's 12 + 3) graduation, How I can port EB-2? my employer told only EB-3 for me..
ReplyDeletePlease check this link -- http://www.murthy.com/2013/08/26/exceptional-candidates-may-qualify-for-eb2-without-advanced-degree/
DeleteHi My PD is JAN 2011 EB2 India. May i know when this date gets current, approximately.
ReplyDelete2017 or 2018 Sept
DeleteTalk to some EB3 guys, they must be knowing.
DeletePeople with Hindi B.A also port to EB2
You will be probably getting EAD by this year end but GC has to wait... Do not always listen to others, some people will really give you pessimistic dates/timeframes.. Do some math and you will be ok...
DeleteThere should be a limit like only certain number of eb3 can post. yearly 100 or 200
ReplyDeleteI agree, what's the point if EB2 has to wait for 7-10 years.
DeleteI agree too, USCIS Should put a limit on porting. They should open only certain limit for every year. Otherwise EB2 and EB3 Will become same and go in Parallel in the future. No value for Advance Degree Professionals.
DeleteJust to be very clear, I am in EB2 and i would like to know why you think so... The very first mistake is in the System, first of all if GC has been given in Country Cap Basis per year then H1B should be given same way... You can not really blame people if system is giving them power to switch after few years to EB2 if they qualify, This is fairness.. And Mr., if you were in their shoes you would have done the same. Rather than bullying people you should ask questions to change the system, like remove country quota or EB2 to EB1. Disgusting Thought Process...
DeleteI am a physician and have a masters degree as well and waiting(of course frustrated) with a 2009 priority date as all the EB2 visas are consumed by Desi's with some kind of '3 year IT degrees' and some how become exceptional and able to upgrade using idiotic immigration. I wish there is some different GC category for IT workers so that others are not collateral damage.
ReplyDeleteI am totally with you my friend!!... I am in the same boat here (2 master degrees - NON IT Thank GOD!! - 2009 PD EB2 with multiple research papers and what not!!) and I know so many highly qualified master degree/PHD holders who even didn't get picked in the H1B lottery. I feel lucky that I somehow got saved on that!!!... Thanks to TCS, Infosys etc and then they pay millions to cover up the Visa Fraud they do all the time. Same with the shitty consultants, who claim that they can make you IT professionals with H1b visa with any background and 6 weeks training!!!.
DeleteAnd then they cry that the immigration system is at fault when majority of the desi IT people take the advantage of the same system and do countless frauds!!... Hopefully our wait will be over this year but yeah, something needs to be done.
Thanks to the an Indian Tech company my sister got her GC in EB1 category(No masters, No reserach, Just L1 Managerial) in less than 6 months and I am waiting > 6 years. EB1 and EB2 visas are misused abused by Indian Tech Companies and professional with qualification that would barely meet the exceptional criteria.

Hi
ReplyDeleteI am porting from EB3 to EB2. My I140 is approved in EB2 and the dates ported to my previous EB3 date (JUL 2006) I have not got any updates from USCIS when checking the status on USCIS website it shows pending (same as it should since 2007) how can I get USCIS to look into my case ?
