Hello vkrishn,

I believe the numerical limits FY 2014 were released yesterday or little earlier. Can you make any intelligent guesstimates about F2A category especially for India based on these numbers for say until March? Thanks in advance for your analysis.

This is just the breakdown of numerical limits of 226K that are assigned to Family based categories as per INA rule which is pretty much the same every year. Without the Demand data (Basically data that says the number of cases that are pending in the F2A category) its impossible for people like us to predict any PD movement.

DOS released the demand data for EB category and its here. This was used to determine the cut off dates in the EB category.

We need to see something like that for family based categories to take a crack at the PD movement as far as i know. smile.png
