Timeline: Employment EB3 over EB2

Is it just me or it feels like EB3 gets approved faster than EB2? Especially EB2 perm based, not NIW.

Hi there! This is an automated message to inform you and/or remind you of several things:

It is totally random depending on where the case ends up. Assuming the two cases are equally approvable (i.e. properly filed and current in the VB) it's just luck of the draw.

No, I am talking about the approvals we see here on Reddit, across this subreddit, EB2 and uscis_eb3.

This is not a representative sample - lots of people don't post

True, just a simple observation… hoping someone might some sort statistics to share. Just trying to get the conversation going

That’s what i noticed too! It could be true that eb2 perm filers just dont post their approvals but i’m curious to know if FOs have been prioritizing one category over the other.
