India, China EB-2 Category Retrogresses Dramatically

As predicted for May, the India and China EB-2 priority dates will retrogress dramatically, from May 1, 2010, to August 15, 2007. Priority dates for those countries are not expected to advance again until October 1, 2012, at the earliest, when the new fiscal year begins.
If an I-485 application for adjustment of status was filed while the person’s priority date was current, it will remain pending until the priority date is current again. Because the I-485 will remain pending, the applicant can continue to apply for interim benefits, such as work authorization and advance parole, while the priority date is retrogressed.
The May 2012 bulletin from the Department of State’s Visa Office is available here.
