GC Retrogression

[salilsurendran]

Hello,
My priority date is August 31st, 2009 and till lately the current date for EB2 was May, 2009 and it has retrogressed back to Feb, 2005. This is the second retrogression that is happening since I filed for my GC. I was wondering as to when will the dates come back to August, 2009 and how many times is it expected to retrogress. Why does it retrogress? Is it because INS gives priority to some other category of GC applications?

It happens all the time. It just happens.

Even though no knows for sure when they would be forwarded again, my guess would be last fiscal quarter of USCIS.

Look at the visa bulletin tracker at http://www.immihelp.com/visa-bulletin-tracker/ to understand the trend over the past few years.
