Many predictions were that EB2 will slow down and EB3 changes significantly from unavailable to a much advanced date. Mumbai cut-off dates are available now and its back to square one. For EB2 dates are retrogressed to 1 April 2003 where as for EB3 it is 1 July 2001. Some pleasing news for EB3 as it changed from “Unavailable”.

Unless the legislation to acquire all unused past Green card numbers is passed, the wait to become numbers current is a day dream.
