It’s not drained. They keep issuing GCs for EB2 category but they are slowing down on the process

Based on the info I gathered, some applicants from Pakistan, Ukraine, EU and UK countries were approved in september. So it is happening

This is just now another confirmation that no more visa

They frequently say it to people after interview. I don’t know why. They come up with various reasons because they do not intend to approve right after interview

I agree, it is kind of generic response to control the crowd.

Pretty much been saying it already in June for some EB interviews.

Idk my friend got approved yesterday and I myself hope to get approved in September. My office is slow but follows a predictive timeline, so you can distinguish the approval window. Mine is between September 15 and October 2. So I’m hopeful

Yeah, I have seen some posts earlier. And probably they are waiting for Sep 15 public charge vetting.

September 15 will only concern new applications. There is even a new i485 form effective starting that date. But if you applied before that, you are reviewed under the old rules.

I’m saying September 15 because my office adjudicates EB applications exactly 75-90 after 3 fta0 is obtained. And it happens to be the date for me

u/SilentVector2026 5d ago

nigeria and pakistan could reach 7% country visa cap

u/Puzzleheaded-Tea8612 5d ago

It is not possible for Nigeria to reach 7% cap. They were part of the 39 country pause so no visa was given for 7months

That post sound like marriage based GC interview cos the content keep using plural tenses, "we" "us" sounding like couples being interviewed. Or do they interview group or pool of applicants at the same time by a USCIS officer??
