Yeah, thats a bummer. In the past, they have almost always retrogressed dates in June timeframe, this may continue till end of FY2023 (i.e. 30th Sept). Also looking at the history, USCIS has retrogressed dates by 6 years!! Hope that's not the case this time

This is a Shitty News Lets watch and hope it is not more than a couple of months , and temporary..

Are you saying 6 years for EB1 in past?

yes, it was back in 2017-2018, that it went back by 6 years. But, it became current within 2 years.

Yes Happened in April 2017.. Suddenly Eb1 final action date went back by 6 years, which is quite extreme done at once. Hope this time is it only for a couple of months and temporary..

this makes me sad :( my PD is Jan 2022 and my I-140 hasn’t been adjudicated yet. Indian citizen

as per bulletin; expecting little retrogression in Eb1. Do you think ROW utilises full quota by Sep 2023?

For everyone that's affected by the retrogressions, let's urge USCIS to resume releasing the "EB 485 pending report" which can tell us the number of people waiting in line before our PD and estimate the wait time. Btw they released for 10 years but stopped in 2018, so it's not hard for them to produce it, I filed FOIA request and commented on the USCIS data page (https://www.uscis.gov/tools/reports-and-studies/immigration-and-citizenship-data) many times to ask for this. The more people ask for this, the more likely USCIS will take this seriously and release it.
