      Rifatshahid said...

      Dear i dont know exactly how to calculate please you do favour and do it for me

      BOTIBOT said...

       according to GC calculator. you get current in 7 months. then maybe get visa in 13 months.  it may also be sooner than predicted or also later. we just hope you get the sooner

      Coronado said...

       Using the GC calculator, you have 7 more months to wait before getting current.

      sheisgreenapple said...

      Nope, Im from Iloilo...How about you? So what we gonna do now Botibot?:)

      Rifatshahid said...

      K .sh said...

      After being current and having interview ,they do administrative process which include federal checking .It can take 30 days to 6 months .

      What about F3 December 2009?

      SomedayGreen said...

      I dont understand what has happened to the spillover quota for EB2IC. Can someone shed some light ? Why there is no spillover this time ?

      Grassley lifting HR3012 said...

       EB2 row-m-p will be having their own cut -off dates meaning they won't be current anymore and will retrogress, so don't expect spillover.

      Aguustu said...

      No hope for you dude because you are outside in the USA you have to wait for NVC to contact you but this time they have lot of pending stop dreaming....

      cant wait for the release of july visa bulletin. how about 5 weeks movement for eb3-philippines.

      prashu50 said...

      CM,
      I don't understand why the EB2 will stay "Unavailable" till September. Would we not get any spill over from EB1 or horizontal spill over from EB2 ? According to the Pending inventory data released in May, I dont see all the usage of EB1 and rest of the world happening in this fiscal year. I am sure they would not have already given these visas to us.

      Can you please let us know if I am missing anything?

      Thanks

      Congratulations to EB3 ROW who are finally getting their fair share.

      AQ said...

      So, if our date is EB3 June 28, 2006 are we CURRENT? I just want to confirm because maybe I am blinded right now looking at the VB.

       Hi CM,

      What do you mean by "EB2 ROW - 01 Jan 09"?

      For China/India its "U".

      jenko said...

      hi CM!

      If my PD is APRIL 2007 Philippines, when will it be current?

      concerned_april_09_pd said...

      Hi CM,

      Do you have any analysis/predictions for the FY2013? Looking at the USCIS I-485 inventory from May 3, 2012 release, it looks like most people with 2009 PDs will not get their GCs in FY2013! Would you agree?

      Ika7ika7 said...

      Hurray!

      Rifatshahid said...

      hi cm i m also asking same question

      GC said...

      Hi AQ,
      You asked me in the June Visa Bulletin prediction. if your case approved, could you post here?
      Yes i can thats why i am posting here. I applied on EB3 - Rest of the world- PD is May 4, 2006, current in june visa bulletin and approved on 6-20-2012 - I see Card/ Document Production when i check my status. I guess its done,.

      Thanks,
      GC

      AQ said...

      OMG, thank you so much for coming back and replying to the me. I wish you all the best for the future. I am so happy for youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu <3  

      AQ said...

      Did you do an RFE or call them or just waited? And if you don't mind me asking what was your country in ROW?

      Sabalwy said...

      Did you apply on June 1st since you were current in June and your case was approved by 6/20?

      sheisgreenapple said...

      Cm,
       Hi! Now that Im current...whats next for me?...Thanks...

      AQ said...

      what are you eb3?

      GC said...

      Hi AQ, i hope you will get your soon too. I finally received my card today.

      Botibot said...

       possibly 7 months. thats according to GC calculator. but it could be longer or sooner. just hope it would be the latter. good luck.  but for my opinion 2006 and 07 is where many got stucked up. so movement in phil would be slow this coming months

      Botibot said...

       im getting my interview date. hope you still have your employer. coz if not i can help you. many pfilipinos have the same problem. my classmate changed employer and now shes in florida. she left me instructions on what to do in case i have problems with my employer. by chance r u scheduled on july 27? and know nancy?

      Botibot said...

      im having my sched in the embassy. you may try to ruin my dreams. but just try to understand more of the visa bulletin before leaving any comment here. did you just read what my PD is?

      Botibot said...

      GRATS!  you may check you email and wait for NVC to give you schedule for embassy interview. it will arrive in a week. if not.  try contacting NVC thru their email contact. once you receive notice of interview date. make sure to comply all requireemtns and have medical 1 or 2 weeks before interview date. check www.slec.ph for instructions. make sure you dont have menstruation on interview date. or comeback a week after mens. also pls remember when you have last slept with your partner. they will make sure ur not preggy especially during the vaccination. some vaccine are harmful to fetus. then try searching for BCG and chickenpox scars. thats one of their question. also try filling up the online form on the website. makes you faster on st luke. i can alos recommend a hotel walking distance from st luke extension clinic. a fellow nurse also recommended these same things to me. i hope this helps. r u sched on july 27? and by any chance know a person nancy?

      Botibot said...

      1.) check email. NVC will mail you notice of embassy interview schedule.  it arrives in a week. if not. try contacting NVC thru email inquiry.

      2.) make sure you prepare all docs for interview.

      3.) make sure employer and job offer still available. if not i can help you. many filipinos have same problem. my classmate changed employer and repeat all process thru premium processing. packet 1 to 3 in 2 weeks. shes now in florida. PD april 2012. she left me advice before flying out of phil. you can retain your PD. but better if old employer still ok.

      4. have medical 1 or 2 weeks before interview sched.  check www.slec.ph frop complete instruction . make sure your not having mens if your a woman. or comeback a week after period. then remember when you last slept with partner. they want to make sure your not preggy when they give vaccine. some harmful to fetus. then also try searching body in advance for scars like BCG and chickenpox. it would mean you have had the disease. everybody always have a scar with chickenpox. usually scar is excavated. BCG indurated.

      5. then INTERVIEW!!!! make sure you bring original docs. and know your petitioner and salary. just try knwoing some details like your case number, PD, employer name, etc.. thats what she told me.

      6.) by any chance you have your sked on july 27? and know nancy from cebu?

      Gregjenko said...

       So that is about January to July?

      Rifatshahid said...

      Dear cm would you please let me know that is there any possibility of fast forword movement in august and september visa bulletin for EB3?

      sheisgreenapple said...

      Hi Botibot! They said my employer is not hiring nurses for now maybe next year they will. Im bonded with my agency. Is it still possible for me to change?I really do not have any idea. Kindly enlighten me...What do you mean about July 27? Im sorry but i dont know any one who's name is nancy.Thank you so much...

      Botibot said...

       1.) wait for notice of interview from NVC. arrives in a week after release of VB thru email
      2.)make sure you still have employer or job offer
      3.) medical! visit www.slec.ph
      4.) interview!
      5.) by chance r u scheduled on 27? and know nancy?

      Botibot said...

      1.) if no notice yet in email. contact NVC thru email inquiry
      2.)if no job offer/ employer i can help you. you change employer but retain PD. thats what my classmate did. shes now in florida! flew last month.
      3. for medical. make sure not period or go back a week after. remeber when you hav last slept with partner. they would like to make sure your not preggy. vaccine harmful to fetus. check body for scars chicken pox, bcg.
      4. interview. remember little details or your case like case number, salary, petitioner etc.

      sheisgreenapple said...

      waaahhhh Botibot! I dont have any idea! I did not receive anything from NVC. I did not even receive that VB thru email! Regarding the employer, the employer i had before is not hiring any nurses for this year,they said they will next year so no have job offer yet. No scheduled interview this 27 either! im doomed!... :(

      Botibot said...

      pls leave your cp number here. ill text you! ill try to help you as much as i can. i feel how worried you are right now. by the way im BISAYA! hehe.

      Botibot said...

       leave your cp here. ill text you! ill try to help you as much as i can. you cant wait for next year. you dont want hr 3012 to become a law before you decide what to do next. you might be waiting for another 6 years before you get current if hr 3012 gets pass the senate!

      Botibot said...

       yes about january you get current. that is if it would move as predicted by the GC calculator. but like i told you. 2006 and 07 is where a lot of pinoy got stuck. its when there are many US visa applicant. so it may move sklower than predicted. god luck to you my friend

      Botibot said...

       receive P4.within  1 week after release of visa bulletin you got current. they send it to you by email. so check email regularly. good luck

      Botibot said...

      leave your number here. ill text you. i will try to help you as much as i can. i had the same problem and i know how you feel not knowing that to do.

      Botibot said...

       if not receive email yet. then try contacting NVC. look it up at their website. you can contact them thru email or telephone

      Jenk said...

      Do you know how to update personal information like contact numbers and email from the previous documents submitted?

      Jenk said...

      i mean, how am I going to update them for change of status from single to married? how about if my cp number registered is no longer existing.

      Jenk said...

       To Botibot, how will I know if I need to change the employer?

      Botibot said...

       if your employer cannot give you job offer or if job no longer available you need to change employer. you can have it thru premium processing. packet 1 to 3 in 2 weeks. you can also retain old PD.

      Botibot said...

       you have to talk with your agency or lawyer or employer about this so if you have been scheduled for interview. you wont have any problem

      Jenk said...

       So do you mean I'll update my employer or lawyer with the present contact number and email add then it will be their responsibilty to update my application? are there no other options?

      Jenk said...

       To botibot, please send me your cp number to this email add gregjenko@ymail.com. I have a lot of questions

      jhelay said...

Pls help me..and you are right im so much worried. i dont want to wait for another 6 years. will be waiting for your reply. regarding about changing the pocket...do i need to change agency? thank u so much botibot..

       Aguustu doesn't know a lot about immigration.It doesn't matter whether you are in or outside the US.     As long as your priority date is current and do the proper processing, you're good. Stop commenting that reveals your ignorance.

      Mike said...

      CM,

      Grassley has reached and agreement to lift the HR 3012. However he has changed the non-limit rule to 15% quote per country (employment immigrants).   This changes completely the predictions you had in a previous article.  Do you have an estimate of how long this new rule will increase the wait for someone in EB3 ROW with PD April 3, 2007

      Thanks

      K .sh said...

      Call Mr Grrasely office .I called them last night and there is no lift on HR3012 they said .Do not be naive!You should not believe in every words in the net .

      gumby said...

      ROW-M-P are screwed. I became current yesterday EB3ROW and now this will delay me and my wife. I was current in 2009 and then retrogression hit me. Same will happen again this year.

      K Alishahbazi said...

       I will be current in next visa bulletin;if you are current now ,you will have your appointment very soon then it cannot affect your case.But ,do you think it can affect me ?

       It can causes 3 more years delay for us .I am so sad about this matter

      Hi K, I really do not know, maybe yes, maybe no, I am more worried about my wife. I have file my i485 back in 2007 but got married after that. I have to file my wife's I485 august first and who know how long it will take.

      Are you EB3ROW?

      Itmktg said...

      Hi CM ,

      http://www.immigration-law.com/ this is showing the EB demand data for Aug.2012
      i dont get it ...My PD May 2009 EB2 India , and in the table I see that by Jan.2009 it is 15,200...demand , which means so many applications are pending  ?how many they will be giving now and how long I have to wait for GC ?

      Jason_baculio said...

      hello CM, if hr 3012 is now lifted in hold. so when is the possible implementation to this law?

      Botibot said...

       senate still has to vote this bill. if approved president will sign then becomes a law. bad news for eb3 pinoys! would mean another 6 years or more waiting period.

      Botibot said...

       senate still has to vote this bill and president will sign before it gets approved and becomes law. just hope it wont be as fast as possible to happen. just make sure you ready with all your documents so you wont have any delays in your processing. you might get caught!

      Bitibit said...

       Since there are some amendments, it will go back to congress and be voted again before it becomes a law.

      Botibot said...

       june 2006 was the time when retrogression happened and many nurses were waiting that time especially in philippines. still many applicants filed for visa until 2007. so until visa bulletin has processed until dec 2007 . visa movement will be slow. it was only durng 2008 that pinoy stop applying for US. so by 2008. demand will be low. VB movement will be fast

      Cornley said...

       I think the Captain of this ship has abandoned it already...no CM that we could rely on now for our questionnaires.

      Jason said...

       ic, so does this mean it will take a while for this bill to be approve if given the chance?

      Rifatshahid said...

      HI GUMBY  i dont understand why some eb3 applicants would become delay after lifting hold on HR3012 and how i m current.my lawyer did not contact me.august visa bulletin is showing sep 2006 so how i m current .please explain me if uyou have time thanks

      K .sh said...

       To Gumby
      Yes ,I am in EB3ROW and my pd is 19th of October 2006.If we see slow down movement ,then,it cannot effect our case.

      K .sh said...

      Year 1 - 15% (6,006) reserved for
      Countries other than China and India (ROW, Mexico & Philippines) No
      Country can use more than 25% of these (1,502)

      Year 1 - 85% (34,034) for use by India & China. No Country can
      use more than 85% of these (28,929) so China will have a minimum of
      5,105.



      Years 2 & 3 - 10% (4,004) reserved for Countries other than
      China and India (ROW, Mexico & Philippines) No Country can use more
      than 25% of these (1,001)

      Years 2 & 3 - 90% (36,036) for use by India & China. No
      Country can use more than 85% of these (30,631) so China will have a
      minimum of 5,405.



      China will quite quickly reach the same Cut Off Date as ROW etc. At
      that point ROW, Mexico, Philippines and China will share the combined
      number of available visas by PD, since China cannot have a PD later than
      the Worldwide one.



      Only Philippines are likely to reach the 25% limit of Reserved
      visas, but may use a disproportionate number of the the Unreserved visas
      that China eventually brings to the table because they have a huge
      demand where the Cut Off Dates have presently reached.

       example. india 2002, phil 2006 VB. when hr 3012 becomes law. no more lining up per country. but instead all eb3 applicant will have a single line file for getting visa "first come first serve". of course there still those in 2002. so they have to go back to 2002 so it becomes first come first serve. fairness act. good for those with too much backlog. bad for those already in 2006.

      CM no longer here. hi to my friends in cebu tolly, and berna. and one in baguio jenk. hehe.

      HI Gumby i m sorry i wrote wrong my pd is 28feb 2007 not 2006 thanks

      K .sh said...

       No ,It is not correct because you should read the hr3012 and its amendment carefully where they said that in 3 years they want to reach all of the country in a same year .It means that if EB3Row ,Mexico,Pilippine go forward for one week ,EB3 India and China will go forward faster till we will reach the same point in three years.

      Botibot said...

      yup. i read hr 3012 over and over to truly understand. it states 3 year transition period. 15% for first 2 years and 10% for 3rd year for all other country except china and india. then what? 1 week a month? how far would it get you? 4 months a year? philippine has a lot of aplicants in 2006 to december 2008.  so 3 years would only get you to up to march 2007. thats the best bet. if the 15% is enough to acomodate the applicants of 2007. which i think is imposible.  in 2007 licensed nurse in phil multipled to to more than 10x hoping to go to US. 

      Botibot said...

       and yes. you said it yourself. to reach the same point in 3 years. that would mean china and india to use more of the visa so you could catch up to us from philippines/ROW/mexico. so your VB would equal us in 2006. so where would we be for the next 3 years? unavailable! that was only 3 years for you to catch up. 

      Botibot said...

      read from bottom to top. when 3 years is up. everyone would line up equally. then those from phil/row/mexico would not only compete for visa from their country but from all around the world especially those with hight demands like china and india. 

      Botibot said...

      although it may sound good. its actually very bad for those in ROWMP. and only benefits those in china and india. and this bill doesnt increase the visa. it only diverts all of the visa to china and india. making america the new UNITED states of INDIA! or maybe UNited states of CHINA!

      Itmktg said...

      Hi Anon, sure, ur GC will be in 2020 !! NOT A JOKE
      Mine will be for sure in 2013 ., as CM has previously told.

      K .sh said...

       Yes,you are right .I think it cannot effect my case which is 19th of October EB3Row,can it?What is your Pd Botibot?I think there are long way to go for this bill to be a law.

      Botibot said...

      to K .sh

      is your PD oct 19 2006? i just got current last month. finished my medical and will be having an interview by the end of july. i just hope everything will go smoothly. im also praying for everyone to have fast movement on their american dream. im very very poor here in my country. this is what i was always praying for. a chance.

      based on what i have read. the bill hr 3012 is very near completion. it only needs to be voted by senate and get a majority vote for it to pass.  then maybe signed or VETOED by president OBAMA.  thats what we row/phil/mexico hope for. eventhough it looks its only a few steps away from becoming a law. it usually takes a lot of time in scheduling for a hearing and voting. i just hope you get a visa before everything turns really bad for us.

      lets also hope that this bill doesnt get voted before election. and that the sponsor of the bill doesnt get re-elected so nobody will support the bill. hehe.

      Botibot said...

      to K.sh.

      r u from row? is your PD oct 19, 2006? i dont think hr 3012 will affect you much . eventhough it gets approved. you still have a 2 or 3 year transition period. that would still mean movement in eb3 row every month. and that, eventhough hr3012 look its almost a few steps away from becoming a law. it usually takes a lot of time in scheduling at voting and signing by the president. so dont worry. youll get a visa before this bill becomes our worst nightmare. hehe. but i still hope hr 3012 will not become a law.

      Botibot said...

      hi toly, berna from cebu  and mike from baguio. hehehe. im also greeting liezel, the super twins suzanne n zuzette  from bohol who is now in florida. weeee. i hope we will share the same success you have. hehehe. ang saya saya weeeeeee 

      Dolfo said...

       There is a rumor that there are other holds on HR3012 by some senators...hope they realize that it's not fairness but unfairness.

      Botibot said...

       i hope what you said about the rumors are true.  i am really really poor in the philippines. this is my only chance of having a life where i can eat 3 full meals a day

      Internet Professional said...

      My attorney said the same thing ... that there are two other senators who has hold on HR 3012.

      Rifatshahid said...

      H.R. 3012 was never taken up. No more time, I supposed.08/02/2012: Senate Adjourned Until
      09/10/2012 Other Than Potential Pro Forma Sessions With No Votes


      The Senate adjourned after
      8:00 p.m. this evening after passing Senate Continuing Resolution
      56 to adjourn until September. Should the House fail to pass
      this Resolution, the Senate will schedule Pro Forma sessions,
      including tomorrow, but until after September 10, 2012, there
      will be no voting activities in Pro Forma sessions. The controversial
      H.R. 3012 was never taken up.

      LEGISLATIVE UPDATE: NO ACTION ON HR 3012








      The Senate passed several immigration-related bills yesterday before adjourning
      for their summer recess, although they failed to take up HR3012.
      HR3012 calls for a leveling of the immigrant visa retrogression among
      all applicants by eliminating the per-country immigrant
      visa caps, removing one of the most unfair aspects of employment-based
      immigration. Unfortunately, the bill does not do this by adding more
      immigrant visas to the quota. The consequence of the failure to add
      more visas to the quota is that if HR3012 becomes law, it could delay
      ROW immigrants' visas for several years. HR 3012 attempts to reduce
      this delay with its three-year phase-in, but this plan that is far from perfect.
      HR
      3012 also controversally adds burdens to the H-1B process, such as
      allowing the DOL to delay and deny Labor Condition Applications for
      virtually any reason. Some US employers are unhappy with these burdens,
      which may be the cause of HR 3012's inability to be acted on before the
      summer recess.
      The Senate did pass S. 3245, which has four immigration-related components. S. 3245 extends by three years:
      1. The EB-5 Regional Center Investor Program2. The E-Verify program3. The Special Immigrant Nonminister Religious Program4. Conrad State 30 J-1 Visa Program for physicians
      S.
      3245 still needs to pass the House. If S. 3245 is not passed by the
      House by October 1, 2012, then these programs will no longer exist.
      Because these programs are popular, S.3245 is expected to be passed by
      the House and eventually be enacted into law.
      The
      fate of HR3012 is a more open question. HR3012 needs to pass the
      Senate and then the House. There is a window of a few weeks in
      September where this may happen. If HR3012 is not passed in
      September, there is still a chance that it could pass in the lame-duck
      legislative period in November/December.
