UPDATE ON JULY VISA AVAILABILITY

The sudden backlog reduction efforts by Citizenship and Immigration Services Offices during the past month have resulted in the use of almost 60,000 Employment numbers. As a result of this unexpected action it has been necessary to make immediate adjustments to several previously announced cut-off dates. All Citizenship and Immigration Services Offices have been notified of the following:

Effective Monday July 2, 2007 there will be no further authorizations inresponse to requests for Employment-based preference cases. All numbers available to these categories under the FY-2007 annual numerical limitation
have been made available. Employment preference numbers will once again be available to these chargeability areas beginning October 1, 2007, under the FY-2008 annual numerical limitation.

Department of State Publication 9514
CA/VO: July 2, 2007

I-485 cuurent visa dates

What will happen to ppl who have already sent in their applications?

For those who have not yet applied, can they still keep sending in their applications?

Thanks.
 
USCIS could reject those applications,
but do not lose hope..
I believe, AILF is going to file a class action lawsuit against USCIS on this issue, they are looking for plaintiffs..
The objective would be to force USCIS to accept those applications..

unfortunately, details on this on AILA's web site are not many, the page is available only to members..
