EMPLOYMENT-BASED VISA AVAILABILITY DURING THE COMING MONTHS

from the DOS website: The current level of demand in many of the Employment-based categories has been MUCH LOWER than anticipated. As a result, the June cut-off dates have been advanced significantly in an effort to maximize number use under the annual numerical limits. At this time it appears likely that there will be additional advances during the coming months.

this is great news for all of us waiting for visa numbers and for all of us who thinks that the CIR bill is the only way to get in immigrant visa.....let me remind you that the dates moving forward is NOT always the case. Visa numbers can retrogress and go back a few years as what happened before but this gives us a glimmer of hope

how to use the Visa Bulletin chart. example: if a Philippine-born nurse files his/her I-140 BEFORE JUNE 01, 2005 it means that an immigrant visa number is available for you and your family and processing will continue. This is applicable for both Consular Processing and Adjustment of Status.......

this is good news:visa bulletin for July 2007 is CURRENT for all EB's category!!!

another good news for me....after barely 10 months in our facility, my boss is recommending that i be promoted to Head Nurse in charge of 2 units.....whether i get the promotion or not is not important to me....this only proves that a "Filipino" foreign grad can excel in America

Wow!!! CONGRATULATIONS! It makes me prouder to be a Filipino!

as stated in the Visa Bulletin for July 2007, visa numbers could retrogress starting September 2007 and severely retrogress by Oct 2007....only 2-3 months of window period is available to us

[rkm]

This availability of Visa numbers is temporary, then retrogression will certainly be back, and in a more severe form. Celebration is premature.

[FutureUSRN]

Yes, it could retrogress heavily in October. However, I do not see that the Philippines will suffer that much compared to India and China.

The new CIR could affect new application. This is what I am worried about. NO TO CIR!

Hi there! if anyone could help me with this.

I know my Case was COMPLETE August 29, 2006, When the retrogression started, I called up the NVC and they said "Sorry no visa is available". So i have waited just like most of you are here. The thing is, I have called up again the NVC a week ago and inquired about my case, the reply was "The lawyer will receive a letter in 90 days". This morning, I called up the NVC to inquire about my case and this is what i got. 'THE NVC IS AWAITING FROM THE BIOGRAPHICAL FORM FROM THE LAWYER, PLEASE ALLOW 6-8 WEEKS FOR FURTHER PROCESSING'. I have heard this notification before, way before my case has been completed, how come i am hearing this again? could this mean something bad??

HEY WHAT DO YOUI MEAN CURRENT? DOES IT STATE THAT INCLUDING fEB 2006 WE ARE NOW ON THE PROCESS?

It means "visa numbers" are available to all applicants, even for Change of Status.
