pretty neirelle · Jun 10, 2008

I'ts out guys!!! What will happen to those who have cases completed?

YAJRN · Jun 10, 2008

All we can say is that it would likely be not a good thing because they have already paid the fees. The rules must change.

It does not need to be buried if you truly understand how things work. As long as a number has been assigned to someone, then things will proceed for them.

However, if a number has not been assigned as of yet, then they are looking at the next fiscal year which starts on October 1, so the Bulletin will be up for viewing mid-September.

And none of this is new information, word was already out that this is what was going to be happening per the previous Visa Bulletin. And this does not spare those from different countries, all are still affected as there are no more visa numbers to be assigned at this time.

if indeed your lawyer received a notice of such thing from the nvc then it maybe because for all intents and purposes things will only cease starting july 1.

the july vb only starts on july 1. we are still in june and so pds before march 1, 2006 are still current and all cases asked by nvc for updates (up to nov. 2006) will still be accepted and processed within this month. starting july 1 when eb3 becomes unavailable, everything stops.

it is up to you if you want to send them your docs or not if you feel it wouldn't matter now and then just do it in oct.

my pd isn't current yet (pd april 2006)

anyone want to comment on this?

if an applicant is reported documentarily qualified but allocation of a visa

number is not possible because of a visa availability cut-off date, the demand

is recorded at the visa office and an allocation is made as soon as the

applicable cut-off date advances beyond the applicant's priority date. there

is no need for such applicant to be reported a second time.

visa numbers are always allotted for all documentarily qualified applicants

with a priority date before the relevant cut-off date, as long as the case had

been reported to the visa office in time to be included in the monthly

calculation of visa availability. failure of visa number receipt by the

overseas processing office could mean that the request was not dispatched in

time to reach the visa office for the monthly allocation cycle, or that

information on the request was incomplete or inaccurate (e.g., incorrect

priority date).

this was from http://www.shusterman.com/cgi-bin/ex-link.pl?judiciary.house.gov/oversight.aspx?id=435

testimony of stephen a. "tony" edson

deputy assistant secretary of state for visa services

bureau of consular affairs

u.s. department of state

april 30, 2008

2:00 p.m.

2141 rayburn house office building

most of us were declared documentarily qualified last year per email received from nvc, email received aug. 8, 2007

dear madam,

your inquiry has been received at the national visa center (nvc).

the applicant's name has been placed on the list of documentarily

qualified cases awaiting the availability of visa numbers under the

numerical limitations prescribed by statute. the designated

representative of this case (applicant, petitioner, or attorney) will

be

notified of an appointment date as soon as the numbers have been

received. the applicant should not make any travel arrangements, sell

property, or give up employment until the us embassy or consulate

general has issued a visa.

an immigrant visa is usually valid for six months from the date it is

issued. it may be used to apply for admission into the united states

any

time during its validity.

regards,

national visa center

tad

now based on the above testimony, we do not have to be declared documentarily qualified

for the second time this year (case completed may 14, 2007 pd nov 2005).

if we they follow what they stated, then they should have alloted a visa number for us last may 2008

when our pd became current, right? so how come we are stil affected by the july 2008 retrogression and have to wait for

fiscal year 2009?

any comment guys? does this mean that nvc messed up last year and failed to report our cases to the visa office.

they had almost a year to report us as documentarily qualified to the visa office and we should have been allocated a visa

number already when our pd became current last may.
