Effect of EB3 cutoff date on application already in the NVC

I am a filipino nurse who just got my I-140 approved, my priority date is jan. 26, 2004, I think my application would stay with NVC till there is an available visa for me, what are your thoughts.

Last week the lawyer received my fee. I do not know whether he sends my documents to NVC. I am hurry, but the lawyer seems slow. I called him, his assisstant did not conceal any information to me. Don't they spys? OH! I live in China.

My lawyer has just sent the payments for the visa bill a week ago but he told me not to be optimistic since it would take at least 30 to 60 days to process the payments and then for NVC to check for visas available. By that time, he told me, priority dates were moved backwards. My priority date is November 2003. The cut off date for processing this January is January 2002.

It is not sure whether the cut off will move forward in a few months or it may even move backward which mean more further delays. He told me that I have to wait a yera or two before my priority date will become current.

Remember fellow nurses to consider this not a setback to our dreams to have a better life in the US but just a setback in waiting longer for our visas.

Only those who are in Packet 3 are assured of the visas already.

Unless you have had your interview at the embassy you will not be eligible for a visa if your priority date is after Jan. 2002. Paying the visa fee means nothing at this point.

I'm sorry,

Mike

DO you get your EDA card already? I am at the same boat as you. my attorney send my visa bill with the application for 140,485 together to NVC week ago.

I hope the US goverment reconsiders their decision and not qualify nurses in the retrogression, just to solve the nursing shortage intheir country....good words...NOT a setback but JUST a setback.
