The bill includes much of the Real ID Act of 2005, which was included in the House-passed version of the bill. The provisions on asylum, the border infrastructure, and driver’s licenses are included; the alien bond and surety provision was not included. The conference bill also includes the...
It will depend on how soon it's implemented and how DoS is willing to distribute the numbers. Even this percentage (50%) may change after the meeting between House and Senate. Any conclusion now is speculative. I certainly hope EB3 for all contries become current in the near furture. Let's keep...
actually it's a bill for registered nurses

Amends: H.R.1268

We expect that House and Senate conferees will meet very quickly after the Senate finishes its work on the supplemental bill in the next day or two. The REAL ID Act (if not passed by the Senate), H-2B relief, and EB-3 relief will be subject to conference negotiations. It is thus important to...

I-485 is also ready for processing...
The State Department has just released the Visa Bulletin for January 2005. As expected, the employment-based EB-31 moved backward to January 1, 2002 for India, China, and Philippines. It is interesting to learn that the EB-3 cut-off date applies only to "professional or skilled worker" EB-31...
Yeah, I've been with the same employer for serveral years with H1. Someone said according to his lawyer, if you've used AP, it'll be safer not to H1 tranfer. Is it true?
