    • EB3 – ROW and EB3-Mexico could advance to 08 July 2006
    • EB3 – Philippines could advance to 15 June 2006
    • EB2 for ROW, Mexico and Philippines could see cut-off date of 01 August 2011 – 01 November 2011 in coming bulletins.
    • EB3-India could advance to 22 September 2002.
    • EB2-India and EB2-China would stay ‘Unavailable’ until September 2012.

         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

        ReplyDelete
      11. CoronadoJune 4, 2012 at 9:18 AM

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

         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.

        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

      57. BotibotJune 25, 2012 at 12:53 AM

        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?

      58. BotibotJune 25, 2012 at 1:04 AM

        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?

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

         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

        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.

         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.

      125. BotibotJuly 14, 2012 at 1:08 AM

        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.

      126. BotibotJuly 14, 2012 at 1:13 AM

         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.

      127. BotibotJuly 14, 2012 at 1:15 AM

        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.

        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!

        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.

        56 to adjourn until September. Should the House fail to pass
        this Resolution, the Senate will schedule Pro Forma sessions,

        will be no voting activities in Pro Forma sessions. The controversial

        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.
