I stopped stressing myself about when I will be current . I am just living my life without putting them in my plans . I will be ready whenever they are ready ❤❤
I've been learning so much more about EB2 process with you compared to other channels managed by lawyers/law firms on UA-cam. I'm not sure why, but their explanations often seem less genuine and more like idle chatter. I appreciate your clear and straightforward way of describing things; it makes complex information easier to grasp. You are exceptionally well-prepared and knowledgeable. While I haven't subscribed to your course yet, I plan to do so in late September. I'm currently considering applying for an EB2-NIW and hope to proceed with my application in December. Thank you for all the insights you've provided.
I appreciate those words, with messages like this one it is very rewarding to continue this mission :) I just try to tell it like it is, and explain it in the best way I can. I will welcome you in the course come September. Good luck!
The reason why there is no one set date for when the visa bulletin will be released is because of bureaucracy. The DOS has to get the data from USCIS which has to get data from all the field offices. The DOS themselves have to collect the data from all the consulates then tabulate it. Which has to get clearance before being released. So working in a large government agency with poor management this maybe too much of an ask for them unfortunately.
Yes, I think you nailed it. To be honest, by implementing internal deadlines for each process this could be resolved, but as you said...maybe too much to ask for! :D
Thank you for a very very informative video!! I appreciate the in-depth explanation and fingers crossed it doesn't regress till the end of the year. Your charts in the later-half of the video are GOLD!!!
EB1 and EB2 really moved forward surpirisingly despite the previous note from the USCIS that there might be retrogression. Only EB3 retrogressed by 1 year? Seriously? Does the DOS playing with greencard applicants? 😅
Thank you very much @Oscar for your efforts at making things lucid for us. Actually, I had the premonition on 31 May that the retrogression might not happen. This was based off of the fact that I once again received that NVC sends every 60 days to tell you that your case is still in line. Moving forward, over at Lagos Consulate, we don't have much happening regarding EB2-NIW for folks that have been current and DQed since March 2023.
I should use you for predictions then! hehe Too bad to hear about Lagos, unfortunately becoming current is not the end of the road and some consulates are known to be really slow and have their own backlog
Thank you for the update. Very informational. Is there any way to get an idea of the size of the backlog? It'd be interesting to try and gauge how many applications are actually processed per month per category per chargeability area...
Hello Oscar. My PD is Sept 6, 2022 ( Jamaica) and I became current March 1, 2024, but still awaiting interview. Given this July retrogression does that means i will also be affected?
If you are in EB1 or EB2 (the focus of the video)...there was no retrogression in this bulletin. For other categories, unfortunately I am not following them
Hi Oscar, Thank you for your consistency in keeping us informed. Much appreciated. A quick question please - When applying from overseas, do we address our letters to the US Consulate General in our Countries or Address it to the USCIS office address in the US even though we know we are submitting our documents to the Conuslate General in our countries. Thanks
@OscarsGreenCard I was already contemplating going the EB1 way, was just waiting to see the update this month. Thanks a lot to you who always keeps us updated. The moment I get the gc, will take time to share my experience on this channel, and this is the least I can do to this incredible initiative.
@@tilksewa.kelemu4407 looking forward to that conversation! Do be aware that you may still need to wait until you are called for interview (if consular) or your AOS is processed. Unfortunately becoming current is not the end of the road. But it is certainly an important step!
I definitely think that they should announce what day the will release the via builtin, 2 days ago I checked the visa bulletin and didn't realize that this was the old builtin, and got disappointed. And I think that there won't be retragration for eb-2 since they warned eb-3 but not eb-2
It would be great if you also talked about all categories of visa not just Eb, the title is confusing since Visa predictions can also mean Family sponsorship
hi! there is no "prediction" in the title. The thumbnail clearly says EB1 and EB2 and I said it also at the start of the video. But thanks for the suggestion about family, maybe one day I will include it. For now, we are focusing on EB only
Hi Oscar, I watched your video and checked out the table at the end, but I'm still a bit confused. My Priority Date (PD) is September 15, 2023, under the EB2-NIW category. When do you think I can expect my date to be current? Also, do you know which U.S. consulate is known for having no backlog among Montreal, Sydney, London since I have an option to move among them? Thank you so much for your help and the informative video!
consulate info is not public for immigrant visas unfortunately... and your PD is not current, you will have to keep checking every month until your PD is earlier than the date on the visa bulletin
Hola Oscar, que requisitos necesitas para pedir la Green card sin sponsor u oferta de trabajo? Es necesario tener un Master convalidado de una universidad para ello? Gracias!
Ok. Let’s go. Need your opinion. No one has a Cristal ball. I know that. But let’s try to find a pattern here. And I want your opinion about it First quarter there was no msg saying about the VB process So Oct - advance 1 week Nov - 2 weeks Dec - huge advance Than Jan no advance or a week maybe Feb no advance or a week maybe Mar 45 days of advance , more or less Here there was the note saying. Please don’t expect advances They make it clear Third quarter April - no advance May - no advance and a note saying that is going to will back the days Jun - surprise and good advance Now The point here there is no notes in jun Is it possible to follow the pattern of first quarter ? I really don’t expect no movement I think will advance and go back If they didn’t expect no movement they probably will add some notes Dev don’t remember
I don't really spend much time trying to predict, so no, I won't help you out with this project. You can't find a "pattern" because these trends don't have to repeat themselves. Look at the 3 last years, the situation has kept changing (for the worse). At the end of 2022 and years before that EB2 was current. Can you imagine now?
I am in India.I am a house wife with two kids.my husband is in usa , applied gc..may 2024 ... Status is changing continuously... employment visa he has applied..but i can't go right now in usa ..if i cant go during I- 485 application than i have to be here for 3 to 7 years without visa . My treatment is going in India.i can't go usa till December..oh god help me 😢😢😢😢
Hi! We don't currently have monthly live session in the EB1A course. We have it in the EB2 NIW course, as advertised. Also, the courses are priced accordingly. Thanks for being a course member, I hope it's useful to you!
i think you answered this question in a previouse video that it may affect and i just need to wait, I already apply for travel doc and ead im assuming those processes does not get affected by the retroggression
@@OscarsGreenCard I was also wondering the same. But am trying to understand what being "current" means? This mean that for a person who files I-140 by end of june can expect to have a GC response in 15 months? Is that when they'll be "current"? 🤔
Thanks oscar i follow you religiously. My eb2niw petition was approved few days ago. I work in canada but im also pakistani citizen. My IVP is in pakistan. As per visa bulletin my date shows march 2023. My priority is jan 2024. So if bulletin moves 1 month each month for example then i can expect interview in 8 months or i upload documents on portal in 8 months? Thanks
Congrats on the approval. You should get a welcome letter from NVC soon, if you don't you can contact them (Google NVC inquiry) , at that point you can already upload the docs and pay the fee. Once your PD is current you may be called for an interview but it can take additional months depending on their schedule
@OscarsGreenCard thanks Oscar. I did use a lawyer though bcuz I have bit anxiety so was comfortable. I'm grom medical research and also a doctor with 2000 citations. But thanks to you for keeping us all updated and your videos are super helpful.

I have a PD of February 2007 and category is F4, what's the news about that category?
Hi Oscar, thank you for sharing your insights. Do you have a similar wait time projection for eb1 to become current as well?
I will make one for EB1 India and China but this is not a projection, it's just the evolution of it

Not really in real time
Hi my brother filed an 1-130 petition for me in 2013 and got accepted in 2014 how many years should I wait . It’s almost 11 years now ?? Please help
my PD is april 23/2024. I am from Mexico and on EB2. So this means that green card will most likely come back on late 2026 based on my calculations.
good luck!
Hi! Curious to hear how you are calculating this?
@@brendalispichardo9786 just my guess. I guess Mexico has thousands of people waiting in line for eb2 similar to china
I definitely think that they should announce what day the will release the via builtin, 2 days ago I checked the visa bulletin and didn't realize that this was the old builtin, and got disappointed.
And I think that there won't be retragration for eb-2 since they warned eb-3 but not eb-2
agree, they should just fix a date and stop this BS :) hope you are right about the retrogression!
What does visa bulletin mean? If i aplly in june from the uk for i-140 does it mean i wont get an interview till next year?
It would be great if you also talked about all categories of visa not just Eb, the title is confusing since Visa predictions can also mean Family sponsorship

Hi! You get one year access, the course content is a few hours of video watch time, taken at your own pace
Why has eb3 retrogresed backward ?a whole year backward
Probably because they are running out of visa numbers
Compared to the Spanish government, the US government is like a swiss watch. So, no complaints here. 🇺🇸
haha well, having lived in both countries for many years...I can say with confidence that both of them suck in different ways
@@OscarsGreenCard In Spain there is no governmental website that works or is easy to navigate. Most of time they are useless.

This is an old video explaining the requirements ua-cam.com/video/Ciyoo3HtrE4/v-deo.html
Ok. Let’s go. Need your opinion.
No one has a Cristal ball. I know that. But let’s try to find a pattern here.
And I want your opinion about it
First quarter there was no msg saying about the VB process
So
Oct - advance 1 week
Nov - 2 weeks
Dec - huge advance
Than
Jan no advance or a week maybe
Feb no advance or a week maybe
Mar 45 days of advance , more or less
Here there was the note saying. Please don’t expect advances
They make it clear
Third quarter
April - no advance
May - no advance and a note saying that is going to will back the days
Jun - surprise and good advance
Now
The point here there is no notes in jun
Is it possible to follow the pattern of first quarter ?
I really don’t expect no movement
I think will advance and go back
If they didn’t expect no movement they probably will add some notes
Dev don’t remember

I joined the EB1A course but there is no information on joining the monthly live session which is rather weird.
Hi! We don't currently have monthly live session in the EB1A course. We have it in the EB2 NIW course, as advertised. Also, the courses are priced accordingly. Thanks for being a course member, I hope it's useful to you!
Based on your prediction table, if I have filed my I-140 by the end of Oct 2023, when will be the estimate to file my I-485?
Hi, I don't have a prediction table. I have a graph showing the current status at each given time. You can take a look at it at the end of the video
Hi Oscar, Do you have any prediction for EB4 for this fiscal year?
hi! I don't do predictions
Thanks for Visa Bulletin update. What is update about refugee fee imposed on EB2-NIW
There's no update, they are making everyone pay that extra fee
@@OscarsGreenCard thanks for letting me know
a question, my pd is 14SEP22 for eb3 mexico, so in jun it was already past(22NOV22) do you think this retrogression affects me ? 😢
i think you answered this question in a previouse video that it may affect and i just need to wait, I already apply for travel doc and ead im assuming those processes does not get affected by the retroggression

I don't really follow EB3
Poor EB3😞
:(
OK, great news, that's fine!
Just one question Oscar - is it too late, for this FY, to file I-140 (EB-2 NIW) by the end of June?
You can file I-140 all year round
@@OscarsGreenCard I was also wondering the same. But am trying to understand what being "current" means? This mean that for a person who files I-140 by end of june can expect to have a GC response in 15 months? Is that when they'll be "current"? 🤔
Can you apply for green card on your own if your priority date becomes current? Or does the employer need to file for you?
if they filed the I-140, they are the petitioners, not you
