PERM accumulated another 2 years'(2005 and 2006) applicants
My estimation of total number of CHINESE applicants pending for visa quota:
EB2 + EB3 from DECs: 15K
EB2 + EB3 from PERMs: 10K
so 50K+ intotal pending (plus their family/dependents)
How many quota for chinese each year? 14K
it is not impossible to have 3 years of waiting if congress won't pass any new amendments/laws..
I hope my blind guess is wrong!
