EB2 India Likely to Move Forward to Jan 2008 The DOS predicts that by September 2014, the employment-based, second preference (EB2) category for India will advance to at least January 1, 2008. This movement will be to ensure that the remaining visa numbers under the employment-based, first preference (EB1) category, and any overflow from the EB2 category in the ROW, do not go unused, as they are allowed to shift over into the oversubscribed categories to avoid waste. This is similar to what occurred last year, but the total available excess visa numbers that will become available to the EB2 India category is likely to be less than that experienced in calendar year 2013. EB3 Worldwide Expected to Retrogress Further Employment-based, third preference (EB3) ROW is not expected to move forward in the coming months. In fact, retrogression may occur due to an increase in demand possibly as soon as June 2014. Similarly, EB3 China has experienced an increase in demand that could lead to retrogression, in part because many Chinese applicants have been "downgrading" from the EB2 category.
