I read thru the article. I am not sure how the author comes up with the total EB2 India pending to be 39,972 whereas the USCIS report shows 47,728. Even EB2 China has about 1000 nos difference betn this and the USCIS pending inventory.

nice analysis the statement copied below stresses the harsh realities we face...

"Accordingly, if a person files a Eb-3 employment case right now through the labor certification process, the estimated waiting times for each of the cap country are: China (2.2 years), India (22 years), Mexico (2 years), and Philippines (4 years). The Eb-2 category of China and India is not much better. If one is to file a labor application or I-140 petition right now, it could take up to 6.5 years and 14 years respectively for China and India to become current.

So EB2 Indian wait times are only 14 years , thats not bad . Isn't 14 years equal to a life sentence in India ?

Since India EB2 PD is Jan 2005 so author has deducted anything before Jan 2005. Start counting from Feb 2005 and you will see exactly 39972 pending. Same with China

Superb analysis. None of any earlier analyses have given the clarity like ilw. I guess we should use this anlysis as a base for any future discussions.
