Chances of EB2 Retrogression?

[VikMehndi]

Can someone please comment on what are the chances, based on current data/information, that the dates for EB2 India would get retrogressed?

What are the factors that would lead to a retrogression?

 

Thanks.

You need to read about re-allocation of visa numbers from categories like EB1 and EB2 ROW to India. There is a reason why dates usually move forward suddently in the summer.

VB mentions that at some point in 2014 the dates will retrogress; just a question of when.

 

You could watch for the demand data that gets released a day before the VB gets released (did not see demand data for august 2013 VB though).

 

We do not have all the info; we can keep watching for announcements from Oppenheim on this topic. These announcements are made public through various attorney websites.

Any predictions on when the Retrogression would start?

Hi Tusharvk,

                    Do you have a link where you read that the dates will retrogress at some point in 2014?

It is right there at the bottom:

"Readers should expect that some type of “corrective” action will be required at some point during FY-2014 in an effort to maintain number use within the applicable annual limits.  Such action would involve the establishment and retrogression of such cut-off dates, and could occur at any time. "
