Please see the 7th paragraph of the link below. Does it mean additional 10000 (total 20000) green cards for asylees during fiscal year 2005. please post your comment.

An additional 10,000 refugee admissions numbers shall be made available during FY 2005 for the adjustment to permanent resident status under section 209(b) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1159(b)) of aliens who have been granted asylum in the United States under section 208 of the Act (8 U.S.C. 1158), as this is justified by humanitarian concerns or is otherwise in the national interest.

NO. The phrase appears every year. It means that in addition to the refugee numbers, 10000 visas will be made available for asylee adjustment.

Nobody can change the 10000 limit without congressional legislation.

It Does'nt mean 20000 quota for asylees during 2005 Reply to Thread

pls see this link and U will understand that nothing has changed

"The FY 2004 PD states "An additional 10,000 refugee admissions numbers shall be made available during FY 2004 for the adjustment to permanent resident status under section 209(b) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1159(b)) of aliens who have been granted asylum in the United States under section 208 of the Act (8 U.S.C. 1158). . . " This language regularly appears in the Presidential Determinations on refugee admissions and does not represent a change. It does not affect the actual refugee admissions ceiling or actual arrival numbers. It merely allows 10,000 asylees each year to adjust their status to lawful permanent resident (LPR).

Hah! Indeed! What is this, some kind of a joke, a trip to the future or are we all getting delusional from a long wait for adjustment?

an executive order, maybe

NO. The phrase appears every year. It means that in addition to the refugee numbers, 10000 visas will be made available for asylee adjustment.

I think there is one and only one person can. That's the president. He can change it by issuing an executive order. Tho, honestly, whoever win the presidency this Nov, neither of them would likely issuing such order.
