以下是美国某一报纸作者与Mr. Oppenheim对话后在2011年10月16日发表的谈话概述，我摘自其中一些内容希望对大家有参考的价值 Summary of Mr. Oppenheim’s Key Points
EB-2 China and India will advance significantly over the next few visa bulletins. A possible slowdown (or retrogression) may come in the summer of 2012. EB-3 China and, specifically, India, will move very slowly and this category is “ridiculously” oversubscribed — very long times to be expected. Family-based dates will advance gradually. 中国与印度的EB2签证优先期在接下来的几个月大幅度加快，但是在2012年的夏季将有可能缓慢或甚至倒退，而中国和印度的EB3由于申请人数离奇地过高将会放慢速度，预计此缓慢速度将持续很长时间。家庭类别的优先期将逐步加快。 General Visa Number Trends 家庭类总体签证配额趋向
With respect to family-based cases, Mr. Oppenheim noted that the demand, especially in the FB2 category has exceeded his expectations after the sharp forward movement at the end of 2010. This sharp forward movement has generated a significant demand for FB2 preference category visas and he has had to retrogress significantly in order to control demand. He indicated that slow forward movement is expected.
On a more general level, Mr. Oppenheim shared that his goal is to advance the cutoff dates more at the beginning of the fiscal year (October, November and December visa bulletins) and then, as he is able to gauge demand for a particular preference category, adjust accordingly by either slowing down or retrogressing (if demand is high) or advancing even more (is demand turns out to be low). 在家庭类别方面，Mr. Oppenheim注意到，特别是FB2在2010财政年底的排期大幅加快了后移民申请需求迅猛增加并超出预期。因此他不得不倒退排期以便抑制需求。他说接下来的小幅度前进是可以期待的。从整体水平来看，Mr. Oppenheim说明了他的目标是在财政年的开头（10月，11月和12月排期）把排期加快一些。这样他就能衡量某些类别的需求情况以便调整排期进展（如果需求太高就放慢或倒退，如果需求放缓就加快步伐）
