Re: Retrogression!!!
Retrogression for EB3 visas has occured before 2000 and then EB3 became current until January 2005 where visas for EB3 were exhausted. By May 2005, Bush signed a law that recaptured 50,000 visas for Schedule A which is a category under EB3. Retrogression is looming again because alot of that 50,000 visas were used already. We just hope that the US congress will pass measure on this. From my own standpoint, nothing can be done for now because it is election time here in the US and we will just have to wait for the next congress to act on it.
As for now, nobody is lobbying at the congress for additional visas and if there is no lobbying congress won't think its an issue. Remember that in 2005, there was lobbying made by the American Hospital Association that is why the retrogression lasted only for 5 months.
Moved your thread to the Int'l forum where it is more appropriate.
im much concerned as to what might be happening after retrogression.. would that mean that like me as a beginner has no chance to work in US ?? my requirements to NM-BON was sent recently and maybe they can give me eligibility within this year and i can schedule my exam next year...so after that what is next?? wait until its over?....how long do we need to wait?
