consequences of no visa numbers for EB categories

[antonioa77]

Hi,

well according to the latest update for the visa bulletin that EB-3 categories visa numbers will be backlogged by jan 2005 this means:

part 1- if somebody will aplly for i 140 and i 485 after jan 2005, he will face a problem of not able to file for i 485 because the condition to apply for i 485 is that visa numbers are current at the moment u apply i -485.

part 2- act 21 century states that in order to get the 7 th year extension u need that ur i-140 be approved and ur i-485 be pending for more than 6 months. but after jan 2005, according to part 1, there will not be a way to fill i-485 , this means that act 21 century or 7 th year extension will not be available anymore unless ur labor certificate pended for more than 1 year.

part 3- if the visa number is not available, this means that u can't apply for an EAD and AP, as i understand it.i'm not sure about this point.

overall, having no visa numbers when reaching USCIS will be a big problem on many people and things will get worse if the current thinking for administration remain against employment immigration.

in addition to what i said above, there will be no more concurent filling at ins because3 according to part 1 , u can't file anymore i 485 , just u file i 140. which mean all this backlog plan at ins is also gone.

it is all a mess, i knew that from the begining that they will remove the load from upstream and put it downstream, it is all a joke .
