It's great to know a lot of Philippine nurses are really excited at their progress and will surely get their visas for the USA.

There is still a limit as to the number of visas per year that are issued. The EB-3 category has a total of 10,000 or just under for those that were born in the Philippines. Adding in the fact that most have spouses and children, it leaves only less than 3,000 for the actual professionals that are being petitioned and this category is not just for nurses either.

There are many more that are waiting than there are visas for years to come.

weeehhhhewww... I think we'll be stacked again... if suzanne is right to those visas... it's not enough for us..

[suzanne4]

This is the same number of visas every year, it is not anything different at all. Many keep thinking that they have fallen from the sky with an unlimited amount and that is not the case, never has been and never will be.

And the only reason that you have seen movement in the PD dates is that some with earlier ones never had completed files or approval on an initial DS-230 and in order to complete files and finish them up, they have moved the PD further ahead. But for no other reason than this. And this is what we have been stating all along here, it is not anything new at all.

Best of luck to those of you that are waiting, but if you do not have approval on an initial DS-230, then do not expect a visa at this time, even with the PD being current. The government is not going to wait for you to get approval. Updating an approved DS-230 is something else entirely.
