EB-2 China and India: Unavailable. (Despite the retrogression of the China and India EB-2 cut-off date to 08/15/2007, demand for numbers by applicants with priority dates earlier than that remained excessive. Such demand is primarily based on cases which had originally been filed with the USCIS for adjustment of status in the EB-3, and are now eligible to be upgraded to EB-2. The potential amount of such "upgrade" demand is not currently being reported, but it was evident that the continued availability of EB numbers for countries other than China and India was being jeopardized. Therefore, it was necessary to make the China and India EB-2 "Unavailable" and it will remain so for the remainder of FY-2012. Numbers will once again be available China and India EB-2 cases beginning 10/01/2012 under the FY-2013 annual numerical limitations. Every effort will be made to return the China and India EB-2 cut-off date to the 05/01/2010 date which had been reached in April 2012. USCIS has indicated that it will continue accepting China and India EB-2 I-485 filings during May 2012 based on the originally announced May cut-off date.)
