MU Law Analysis
All Other: Although All Other EB-1has a slight retrogression, the EB-2 and EB-3 categories remained current andare expected to remain current for the foreseeable future.
China: EB-2 did progress by threemonths.  The EB-2 and EB-3 eachprogressed about one month.  Over thecourse of FY2020 we expect EB-2 to catch up to EB-3 and the two categories tostay roughly equal.
India: As with China, the EB-2and EB-3 dates remain inverted.  Therewas just three days’ progress in EB-2 and no progress in EB-3.  We continue to expect very little progress ineither category in future months.
Philippines:  Weremain surprised by the slow progress of EB-3.  The DOS indicates that the Philippine EB-3will only be moving one month at a time for the next 3 calendar months, whichis slower than our internal metric indicate should be happening.  We are no longer predicting as rosyprogressions in early 2020.
