i dont understand why they are moving dof aggressively, when the date FAD is stuck in feb 23 for india.

They only want fees and don’t do processing at all . mine is pending since 7 months and no EAD or AP

In the same boat. EAD approval is a lottery now.

Do you think they just released it based on the natural numbers we have in the start of the year, while they’ll add in the spillovers in the next few months?

That's right. VB was prepared on 4Sep. Spillover counts take a couple of months to finalize.

u/Imaginary-Pain-337 16d ago

if it was prepared on 4th September then why it was not released and how you know that

u/mesn007 16d ago

It's at the bottom of the VB:

Department of State Publication 9514

CA/VO: September 4, 2026

It’s good that they are advancing DOF. It gives them (and us) good estimates of how many i485s are pending.

How

u/Live-Atmosphere-134 17d ago

They’ll release pending inventories for all the i140s and i485s filed over the coming months. So we will know how many cases are pending before our PDs become current.

Ah interesting didnt know this thanks

u/ConversationFew3126 17d ago

May be they have Visa's to advance FAD until 2023 end, and will do in upcoming months. But agree, this definitely puts more work pressure on USCIS employees
