226k is minimum...max is 480K...

that 480K is used for immediate relatives as well (like parents and kids of US Citizens)..in cases where all 480k gc's are used by immediate relatives, FB still gets 226K visas every year..no matter what...

Section 201 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) sets an annual minimum family-sponsored preference limit of 226,000. The worldwide level for annual employment-based preference immigrants is at least 140,000.

226k is the limit EB gets what ever is unused in 226k

In 1990, Congress established a limit of 140,000 employment immigrants, and a limit of 480,000 family immigrants, except that the numbers of VIP immigrants who were given green cards from the previous year would subtract from the family limit.  For example, in 1989, when Congress would have been considering what rules to enact, there were 217,000 VIPs.  So the number of family immigrants would have been 480,000 minus 217,000, which is 263,000.  As a protection against a situation where there were more VIPs in future years, Congress established a minimum of 226,000 immigrants for the family category.  So even if the number of VIPs in the prior year was more than the 480,000, there would still be 226,000 family immigrants allowed for the year.  Also, to protect against numbers going unused, Congress allowed unused family numbers to be used in the employment line the next year, and unused employment numbers to be used in the family line the following year.  You can see Congress wanted all the numbers utilized.

 

VIP Immigrants ante...Immediate relatives.

I think all of us are right in some way or the other in interpreting the laws. As someone rightly said "No one is smart enough to be wrong all the time".

The so-called SO will happen from multiple areas to EB2 and EB3. (It's so-called because it's technically not spillover, but that's a minor detail we can ignore now).

First of all, the EB quota for this year has been increased by 16,500 due to FB visa date miscalculation by DoS for last FY. This number also follows the country cap and is divided proportionately among the five EB categories. Applying the country cap, India and China will get a paltry 300 visas which could already be added in to the calculation by CO. This does not move the needle much, perhaps a week or 10 day movement for EB2 and EB3. But what will be the real prize would be the SO from ROW which will be applied in the last quarter. This number is close to 6,500 and the most retrogressed country (India) will get most of it followed by the second (China) as long as ROW remains current. There is very limited possibility that ROW will retrogress in the next three months because of the following reasons,

1. USCIS office closure has stopped interviews and hence very low EB2 ROW quota utilization
2. Consular processing has been stopped due to Trump's EO
3. Weak demand due to COVID

Unless a miracle happens, EB2 ROW will remain current. EB3 ROW will move faster (as seen in next month's VB) and may potentially become current in the next few months.

Secondly, the overall EB quota is now bigger due to stoppage of consular processing. The GC quota for a country is a percentage of the sum of FB + EB quotas and when one is low, the other gets the advantage. In this case, stoppage of CP will thus aid this process.

Thirdly, if EB2 ROW remains current, it will have some SO. We don't know what it is now and only time will tell the real story.

I know people got excited with the EB2I movement in the last bulletin. What they failed to realize is that the date movement is happening in the densest part of 2009 (June 2009) and once it gets past the hump, the movement will even be faster.

Another thing is w.r.t to when SO is applied. Horizontal and vertical SO are applied in the last quarter and the overall increase in quota is typically reported by DoS and acknowledged by USCIS in the last two quarters. This, however, does not matter since as explained before, the impact is minimal and the real movement due to SO from ROW will only happen in the last quarter.

For those who are saying SO is dependent on EO continuing, I have news for you. Last visa bulletin check-in CO mentioned that FB demand has been at a historic law. The policies of the admin might be the reason or people may not want to come to a place with media reported anti-immigrant rhetoric. Whatever maybe the reason, the FB visa slowdown is real and will impact EB.

Also, regarding visa wastage. For the records, visas have not been wasted in the last 13 years. You can check back the immigration statistics published annually and see the numbers yourself. Have the visas been mis-allocated, absolutely. Some times EB1 gets more, some times EB2 gets more etc. Every visa category except FB have benefited from this. The current FB SO for example of this happening to our advantage.

Remember that visa issuance requires two Federal agencies working in tandem and efficiently. Does any one thing that's an easier process.

That's my hypothesis. I will now wait to see if it will actually happen.
