Will wait for 'better August'. As I red in this forum, either CIR or any supportive legislation will be passed by that time.Hope is best option.

In my opinion,The shooting incedent was an individual incident and that has nothing to do with green card or citizenship. That persone has kind of phsychological problems and he committed that crime. It is not his green card or citizenship made him to do it. Any of you think,i n America, people with green card only commit these kind of crimes..? Lots of shooting incidents took place in US recently; all of them by green card holder..? When a persone commit a crime, it is not his citizenship or immigration status made him to do the crime, but his mental/phsychological mood make him to do the crime.... Thats what I feel....Why mixing it with green card...? Rgds

a daunting immigration equation politics could doom systemic reform by angie c. marek posted 4/15/07 when he appeared in yuma, ariz., last week to deliver an endorsement of "comprehensive immigration reform"-shorthand for a border-security bill with a guest-worker program-president george w. bush said he thought "the atmosphere up there [in washington] is good right now" for such a bill. the sunny statement matched the arizona morning, but it may not reflect the current reality. this story appears in the april 23, 2007 print edition of u.s. news & world report. edited for violations of us copyright law. link only and one or two sentences from the article.

In August, If he signed the bill which was introduced few weeks back, will it be ok for us, nurses? If he signed something which will cover only illegal immigrants and border security, then, there will be more chances for recapturing unused visas? Rgds

Hi, I am not with O G P, a U K based agency.

But, Y they said this? Is there any assurance they might have got from sourses in Washington DC..? Any clue..? Have you got any calls/emails like this? Rgds

Hi, My case no. LND200******* P D is 13 Oct 2006 NVC received it end of Oct 2006. Rgds

Hi, Thanks for your reply. Now, my case is like this. My case is in NVC and I got a case number.Last month I got a letter from them saying since visa numbers are not available, they cannot process further (ie. DS230, choice of agent etc.). That case, as soon as retro lifted my file will be processed or will there be any other waiting time? Pls advice. Rgds

Now, How long we may have to wait to know this bill is passed? What is the next process? If everything went well, How long will it take to retrogression over? Pls advice God Bless You Rgds

Hi all, According to http://hammondlawgroup.blogspot.com/, Sen. Hutchison has formally introduced a provision to recapture about 90,000 visas for Schedule A nurse and PTs. Pls read and comment. Rds

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

Hi all. Presently, what I understood is there are two bills on the move in terms of Nurses immigration. One is RNPA, which includes a provision to make Schedule A occupations exempt from the general Employment Based visa quota.(S.646). Second one is CIR, for which hearing took place today. Which of these you all think going to help us? I heard that CIR will have slim chance to get thru since its covering aspect of all kind of immigration..... So....? rgds

Hi all, Pls find some info related to retrogression....Just for your information and comments only..Here is the link .....deal between the House and Senate to recapture unused immigrant visa numbers and eliminate retrogression was finalized late last night. The deal creates a special EB3 immigrant class for Schedule A occupations -- registered nurses and physical therapists. The special class exempts 50,000 immigrant visas from the general EB3 category and effectively ends nurse and physical therapist retrogression for at least the next two or three years. It is expected that the formal enabling vote will take place next week. The President will sign the legislation shortly thereafter. It may take the Departments of State and Homeland Security several weeks to apply the law. At this point HLG estimates retrogression will be effectively lifted for EB3 Schedule A occupations with the publication of the July Visa Bulletin. The July Visa Bulletin should be released in mid-June..... ANY COMMENTS..?

Just want to update info...? Any new info..?
