Jan 2008???? my wife and I would be stuck using EAD's for the next 10 months and that means not able to come home for Christmas as im nervous about leaving NY using Advance Parole :madface:

Highly recommend that you do not use the Advanced Parole, unless there is a family emergency. If you look at the I-131, it states that it does not guarantee admission back into the US. It is up to the descretion of the officer at the airport. And I have seen some that have not been approved.

Ten months is too far off to make any definite plans at the moment, no one knows what will happen by then. But since you have been here so long already, suggest that you wait until you have the green card in hand to really play it safe. There are too many issues going on right now.

Hi, everybody!

Those who are suprised by the sudden silence of Hammond Law group as for CIR Feb 28 meeting, may look up some information in the site of Carl Shusterman. Anyway, they mention some suggested "legalization" procedures (does not concern nurses) and an approximate date of the bill to be effected into law - Jan, 2008! Sad. More developments are to happen next week, as they say.

And this is why I always stated to get any information directly from the US government, not a law group that posts something on their website. The items get changed too much and then people post about them stating that they heards that such and such is happening. Usually it is just the opinion of the person that wrote the item, or the wishful thinking of many. But not what is going to happen. And here is proof of what I have been saying all along. And again, it will probably be dependent on where the nurse was born when anything opens up.

iam in the same boat, i got to renew my work permit too... at least we have work permit. there are people out there, that are forced to leave..i hope sth will be done for nurses.\\

lawrence , i signed in for the email updates with the immigration a while ago/ my application for green card was udated on january 4 2007, but i quess bec we are stuck in the retrogression, nothing was done, except of updating it. no request for additional papers were send. thank you lawrence

If you are in the US and under the AOS, processing is different for you than if you were petitioned overseas. The only thing that is the same is the I-140. Then everything changes. With the retrogression in place, if in the US, things are going to be slow. If the file is complete, there should be no need for further documentation, only the wait for the green card.

thank you suzanne ,,like always:)

Just a quick note on the other worry. You are going to find it almost impossible to get the time off over Christmas. Unless it was in your contract when you started, you will find it extremely difficult to get approval then. It goes to those with more seniority. And with all of the overtime and holiday pay that you can earn then, you would me much wiser to work over the holidays and then use that money to pay for your trip.

When you will be able to come, your family will be able to come. Proivded that they were on your petition. As long as they are on your DS-230, they will be issued a visa at the same time as you. But since you were required to take the IELTS, I surmise that you were not born in the UK.

You usualy will be the one to pay for their visas. There are some agencies that do not include family on the petition and that could be trouble for you.

The other times that family is unable to come is when the NCLEX exam has not been written and the nurse will be working in the CNA role and will not have enough money to support their family as the agencies usually pay very cheap for this, less than $10 per hour.

First question would be which agency did you actually sign with?

Hi all,

Anybody knows status of RNPA(the bill which includes a provision to make Schedule A occupations exempt from the general Employment Based visa quota.(S.646) ?

Where is that bill now? On what stage?

Also, who is (Senator) going to introduce the bill for recapturing 90,000visa?

Thanks

Rgds

From this site, what I can gather is that it has been introduced by Sen. Coleman.

hi suzanne

it has been a month or so since we last heard about your assessment that visas will be available by the summer, do you think with the develpment of the last month that this assumption is still correct?

You mentioned that you are in contact with several immigration lawyers that you trust, do they still think like that.

I have to tell you my feeling, while I am trying to keep optimistic every day that passes I think nothing will happen. as you probably know, the only place other then this forum that we get information from is HLG blog, well they are always optimistic and suddenly that does not encorage me, I've read thier blog from start to end and they have been optimistic for a year now... and still nothing happend.

I think you have ever been true to the reality and not for false hopes. you are the only one I trust, Thank you for that and for all the time you are puting in the forum.

So, what do you think? has something change?

Thanks alot

Still expect some to be available this summer. Do not know how many or for which countries. But expect it still to be dependent on birth country. There have been some that have been filtering thru all along. But again, it also is dependent on when you started the process, and at which stage that you are now.

Remember that visas are created each and every quarter. Depending on where you were born, not all may be used each time they are given for that country, and with a newed PD date you qualify for one.
