Subject: Re: Could I ask for family-based immigration counts in FY2010
I got another question regarding the # shown in I-485 Yearly data. In the
spreadsheet, FY2009 Emp Adj Approval count is 130,352 but in the Yearbook
2009, the employment approval count is 144,034.
130,352 approval counts does not make sense because there is a long queue of
employment applicants waiting for the quota and the annual limit for
employment based is at least 140,000.
Why these two numbers are not consistent?

I believe there may be some confusion regarding the numbers you’ve cited
below. The FY2009 employment based adjustments approval count is 130,352;
however, the 2009 Yearbook number you cite (144,034) is for the total number
of employment based LPRs (both new arrivals and adjustments). The number
of FY 2009 employment based adjustments (per the 2009 Yearbook of
Immigration Statistics) is 127,135.
The I-485 yearly data reports the approval count for employment based LPR
adjustments. This means USCIS is counting the number of approved
applications. Once an LPR adjustment application is approved, the applicant
still must complete an interview and provide biometric information before
receiving full LPR status. Because of this, there are cases where an
application is approved in one fiscal year (and thus included in the USCIS I
-485 yearly data) but final LPR status isn’t conferred until the next
fiscal year (where they are counted in our statistical data).
Hopefully this sheds some light on the discrepancy in the numbers.
