Numerical effects of EB1C on EB2 backlog

Lets look at calculation and try to understand the numerical effects of EB1C on EB2 backlog. 

Source_1	DHS Year book (therein Table 7)
Link_1	https: //www.dhs.gov/immigration-statistics/yearbook/2017/table7
Data_Point_1	2017 All Countries (EB1) Priority Workers (including Spouse+Children)=41,060

Source_2	State Department Annual Report
Link_2	https://travel.state.gov/content/dam/visas/Statistics/AnnualReports/FY2017AnnualReport/FY17AnnualReport%20-TableV-PartII.pdf
Data_Point_2	2017 INDIA (all EB1) Priority Workers (including Spouse+Children)=13,082

Now Lets look at EB1 A+B+C Numbers from Source_1: 

	EB1A			EB1B			EB1C
	NEWARR	AOS	NEWARR		AOS	NEWARR		AOS	Total
Primary	903	4915	14		2557	60		8494	16943
Spouse	691	3761	11		1956	46		6499	12964
Children	594	3235	9		1683	39		5591	11153
total_eb1_world								41060
total_eb1c_world								20730

Ratio => total_eb1c_world / total_eb1_world = 0.50 

Applying the SAME ratio to 2017 EB1 Numbers for INDIA 

i.e.=> EB1C_INDIA / EB1_INDIA = 0.505 

EB1C_INDIA = 0.50 * EB1_INDIA 

EB1C_INDIA = 0.50 * 13,082 (Data_Point_2) = 6605 

Do Similar calculation using all the year books. 

9 years of aggregated numbers consumed by EB1C = 70,000 green cards. 

------------------------------------------------------------------------ 

Now looking at PERM Labor filed by INDIA 

(Source OFLC PERM statistics year wise - google ) 

FY2009 11387 (remaining after last bulletin) 

FY2010 28930 

FY2011 31273 

FY2012 30278 

FY2013 20930 

FY2014 35092 

FY2015 45,670 

Based on above, In the absence of EB1C India, EB2 INDIA dates would have easily moved to 2012 as of end of 2018 and would have continuously move (albeit slowly due to increasingly number of PERM labor every year). 

And Since Every passing year PERM numbers have increased and will continue to increase , So argument " getting rid of EB1C is not helpful since there is tooooo much of backlog " is flawed just because, it doesn't take into account time already SPENT in the backlog by people with priority dates from past 9 years, how can we count all backlog in one bucket since 2009 till 2018. 

Backlog can never clear in one shot, it’s a moving train which has been halted by EB1C . 

There are multiple flaws in US Immigration system. EB1C is one of them. 

No other route gives Green card so easily in BULK to under-deserved Employees. 

In the absence of EB1C , Priority dates would move and would have moved and can maintain more or less at an average of 6 years of wait for people with priority date up to 2012 and 10 years for 2013-2017. 

But Due to Abuse of EB1C, EB2/3 dates will NEVER EVER MOVE, regardless. 

- with or without EVC, 

- with or without WITCH EB2/3, 

- with or without F2 OPT / CPT EAD

Now based on 2804+2804 for EB2+EB3 INDIA minimum annual allocation, 

Clearing backlog from 2009 will take 2 years i.e. by 2020 

Clearing backlog from 2010 will take another 6 years i.e. by 2026 

Clearing backlog from 2011 will take another 6 years i.e. by 2032 

Clearing backlog from 2012 will take another 6 years i.e. by 2038 

Clearing backlog from 2013 will take another 4 years i.e. by 2042 

and so on. 

---------------------------- 

while EB3 has plenty of opportunities to be EB2 and it’s a natural progression just by virtue of working hard. 

No way in the heaven EB2/EB3 can naturally & honestly become EB1C, unless he uproots & moves internationally.
