August 2015 Visa Bulletin and Analysis


August 2015 Visa Bulletin was released yesterday.

EB2:

Date for EB2 India stayed at 01 OCT 08. EB2 China moved from 01 OCT 13 to 15 DEC 13. The cut-off for all other EB2 countries are Current.

Good News is EB2 China is moving forward.

EB3:

Cut-off dates for EB3 India moved from 01 FEB 04 to 01 JUN 04. EB3 China retrogressed from 01 SEP 11 to 01 JUN 04. EB3 Philippines moved from Unavailable to 01 JUN 04. For all other countries the date moved from 01 APR 15 to 15 JUL 15.

Good news is the dates for most of countries have moved forward.

I-485 Pending inventory:

I-485 pending inventory data was released earlier this month. There are couple of interesting facts on that. One, it has only the summary data and not country specific data. Two, they have released the data now and the data was as of 1 April 2015. This does not give us much insight on latest happenings that affects the data movement.

Last 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. This month the data has moved 3 months. There is a possibility that it might move a month next bulletin too to apply the remaining spillovers in EB3 category. One thing to watch India, China and Philippines all three have the same cut-off date.

For EB2 India:

Looks like the I am in a totally unknown territory now. Lot of possibilities at this point. Reading from few lawfirm websites, looks like DOS is saying it will stay the same next visa bulletin. But, there is a slight possibility that it might move if the EB2 ROW demand drops this month.

What will happen from October Visa Bulletin ? Again, lot of possibilities and totally depends on DOS. Since September marks the last bulletin of the fiscal year, October can be totally new. DOS can decide to go back to their old strategy -- keep the date same till November then, retrogress totally back, say to 2005 and keep it at that till June. This may happen if they feel the reason for all the date movement this year is too much. DOS decides to be on the new strategy -- they might keep continuing with the same date and watch for porting. In that case, depending on the porting it will stay the same or move forward. The EB3 India date movement of 4 months this Visa bulletin instead of the regular 2 weeks, will help in less porting and will eventually help EB2 India as well.

For all EB2, EB3 India folks -- Unfortunately, if we want to be here, we all have to go through it. Yes, it is a tough long frustrating journey. Hang in there. It will get over soon.

      It all depends on how many EB3 ROW are unused and the ongoing demand. EB3 ROW being almost current there could be more ROW filing in next few months.

      For EB3 India, 27,472 applicants are still pending in the inventory. The strategy followed by DOS/USCIS this year was foolish and it impacted EB2-I bigtime. They should probably hold on to the dates until June next time and Move big like they did in earlier time.

      It does not give much insight. 2004, 2005 and 2006 numbers have increased for EB2 India. 2007 has decreased. 2008 and 2009 are pretty much the same.
      If they have released data as of July 1, that would have helped a lot.

    According to AILA, the State Department does not anticipate India EB-2 will move ahead in September, but it can change in October if there is a decline of EB-1 and EB-2 demand by other countries before September 2015 cut-off date determination.
    EB-3 for India, China, and Philipppines are predicted to move ahead a few months in September 2015
    China EB-3 may move ahead in October to either 2010 or even 2011.

    The Visa Bulletin 2016 is coming soon, based on the previous month for India, there is a chance of progression to September 2009 but also a slight chance of retrogression to 2006.

    The dates in Sep 2013 and Sep 2014 visa bulletins have been Jun 08 and May 09. So is there a reason why the dates are still at Oct 08. Wouldn't the backlog till Jun 08 been cleared by now. Worst case, let's say the porting is 3000. Even then the dates are not moving ahead. Any one knows how this is calculated or done ?.

      it all depends on how the others have used the Visa numbers. Normally there is Spillover which comes to EB2, which are used up by India and so the dates move forward. But for this year, they say that there will be very little spill overs coming to EB2 and thats why the dates will not go forward.

      Dude, there is a letter to congress that you can sign online to stop eb1c. Just do your part. SIGN IT! It's online and no postage is required. Just in Jan of 2015, nearly 900 applications are approved in one month. Take a guess how many of them are truly eligible and if they can be compared with EB1A/EB1B who are scholars. The regulations for EB1C seems to be JUST nasty! I personally don't care they are getting green cards. I just can't digest the fact that they are slowing the whole world down.

      The number 900 I specified above is not right. This is what we saw in pending inventory of April version. So, this could be even a very big number

    based on latest 485 inventory, EB1 demand is going up very fast in last 2 years. Specifically in 2015 more than 2.5k/month. EB2 ROW demand also gone up this year. If this trends in EB1/EB2ROW continue, there will be no spillover thus no movement at all in EB2-I for FY 16. :(

    Hi Ambals,

    I see that you provide very informational analysis on the Visa Bulletin released by USCIS mostly the same day or the day after. May I know if we can expect to see your analysis for the September VB soon? Me and few of my friends really appreciate the analysis you provided for the previous monthly visa bulletins.
