India EB3 movement based on CIS AOS report

Assuming that no new AOS applications are found, and there is no legislative relief, I've put together a chart of projected India EB3 priority date movement based only on the CIS adjustment of status report dated January, 2010. I've done this because so many people have asked questions about specific priority dates. The following is a rough approximation of the India EB3 cutoff date movement based on known, existing demand:

FY 2010 - India EB3 should advance to around April, 2002.
FY 2011 - India EB3 should advance to around August, 2002.
FY 2012 - India EB3 should advance to around November, 2002.
FY 2013 - India EB3 should advance to around February, 2003.
FY 2014 - India EB3 should advance to around May, 2003.
FY 2015 - India EB3 should advance to around August, 2003.
FY 2016 - India EB3 should advance to around November, 2003.
FY 2017 - India EB3 should advance to around December, 2003.
FY 2018 - India EB3 should advance to around March, 2004.
FY 2019 - India EB3 should advance to around May, 2004.
FY 2020 - India EB3 should advance to around July, 2004.

Please understand that these are just very, very rough approximations of Visa Bulletin cutoff date movement based on known factors. Actual movement may be faster or slower, depending upon the actual demand presented at the time. Also, I very firmly believe that we will see legislative relief that will make all cutoff dates "current" in the very near future. More than anything else, I've prepared this to answer the daily questions I receive "My priority date is India EB xx/xx/xxxx. When will it become current?"
