You can't measure the "back" in EB2 by the current (September) Visa Bulletin. It is more appropriate to compare it to the cut off dates prior to August/Sept.
The dates in August/September were the result of the shifting of numbers from other countries that would have gone unused....these were "extras" beyond the country limitations. It was understood that the cut off date would go backward in October.

We may get more insight in the actual Visa Bulletin. Hopefully, the cut off dates will move forward in upcoming Bulletins and this is just an effort to be very conservative (to avoid running out of numbers) at the beginning of the year. |

The U.S. Department of State (DOS) Visa Bulletin for October 2008 has been issued. This is the first Visa Bulletin of Fiscal Year 2009 (FY2009). As avid readers of MurthyDotCom may have learned when the Visa Bulletin chart for October was first posted on our website, the cutoff date for EB2 India moved backward considerably. The news for EB3 India, China, and Mexico was also bad, but not unexpected.

Summary of Visa Bulletin
©MurthyDotCom
Employment-Based, First Preference (EB1)
This category is current for all countries of chargeability.
©MurthyDotCom
Employment-Based, Second Preference (EB2)
This category is current for all countries except India and China. The cutoff date for India retrogressed to April 1, 2003. The date for China is set at April 1, 2004. The October Visa Bulletin is applicable only as of October 1, 2008. Thus, anyone in the EB2 category who has not filed an I-485 application, and is otherwise eligible to do so under the cutoff dates reflected in the September 2008 Visa Bulletin, should file as soon as possible and ensure that the I-485 application reaches the USCIS on or before September 30, 2008.

Employment-Based, Third Preference (EB3)
This category, which became unavailable in July 2008 for all countries of chargeability, has now received a new influx of numbers for FY2009. For that reason, cutoff dates have been reestablished. For the "All Countries of Chargeability" category and the Philippines, the cutoff date is January 1, 2005. For Mexico, it is July 1, 2002. China and India are set at October 1, 2001 and July 1, 2001, respectively. These rather dismal dates for India, China, and Mexico are the result of the very high demand for the limited immigrant visa numbers in this category. The EB3 (other worker) category has a cutoff date of January 1, 2003 for all countries |
