1. Here is how 2022 EB2 & EB3 allocation should have been done: EB2 has 80K visas-Q1-they don't have sufficient ROW demand & India & China limit is reached on day 1, country cap comes off for both but FIFO under 203(e) means ALL 20K visas for the quarter go to earliest PD holders
2. INA203(e) does not take a vacation when 202(a)(5) applies removing country cap for the remainder of the quarter. 203(e) does not provide for two lines, one for the country capped, another for RoW. Q2-they don't have sufficient ROW demand, same thing happens, EB2 India get 20K.

Thread on illegal reservation of visas by @USCIS in 2022 for ROW leading to retrogression for India EB2 & stagnation EB3 India cutoff dates. #greencardbacklog #discrimination #racism #lawlessagency @David_J_Bier @BradBanias @gsiskind @ckuck @cyrusmehta @immlawACHall @blesjm1
By holding up & refusing to process ~77K EB2/3 AOS from India born applicants & seeking other applicants instead, @USCIS violated INA 202(a)(1), 202(a)(3), 202(a)(5), 203(e) & 203(g).
