Retrogression relief coming, in some way Here is the update from the law firm Fan & Fitzpatrick based in CA:
1. Starting from FY2006, employment-based visa number will be increased to 240,000 (7000 transferrered from family-based, the rest from recapturing the unused in previous years)
2. USCIS is exploring to issue EAD and AP to qualified I-140 applicants even if he is not able to apply for I-485 because of visa number issue
If these can be implemented, backlog issue can be solved in a big way!!!
That law-firm's web-site is in Chinese, so if you can understand Chinese, you may find the news update yourself. Site is at http://www.fan-law.com
Keeping the finger crossed... But at least ...
