I really dont understand all that. But in simple words, how much the current priority date move in the next move?

Thanks
 
Guess what with in a month it will be current, once the additional 60k is consumed they will retro i guess.
 
According to shusterman.com only Nurses and PT will get additional 50,000 visas. It did not mention anything about others. I think we have to wait for few more days to get clear answer.
 
you are wrong

Currently they have 130 unused, only 50% is used to schedule A. Rest is for every one else.
We are going to be in good shape soon.
 
This was in the original version of the bill, but the house-senate commitee can change it however they wish. We do not know how the final version of the bill look like. Here is a link from the website which I am quoting:

http://www.shusterman.com/rn-pt-amendment.html

No where in here there is a mention of others.

17 RECIPROCAL VISAS FOR NATIONALS OF AUSTRALIA
 
My eyes keep roaming around the words in bold and most perticularly the words that say "and 50 of ...."
I am highly optimistic that others will be able to get the visa numbers....

Bad News

It clearly states 50,000 only for Scedule A occupations. If in fact is the final version of the bill, we are doomed.


SEC. 502. VISAS FOR NURSES.

Section 106(d) of the American Competitiveness in the Twenty-first Century Act of 2000 (Public Law 106-313; 8 U.S.C. 1153 note) is amended--

(1) in paragraph (1), by inserting before the period at the end of the second sentence ``and any such visa that is made available due to the difference between the number of employment-based visas that were made available in fiscal year 2001, 2002, 2003, or 2004 and the number of such visas that were actually used in such fiscal year shall be available only to employment-based immigrants (and their family members accompanying or following to join under section 203(d) of such Act (8 U.S.C. 1153(d))) whose immigrant worker petitions were approved based on schedule A, as defined in section 656.5 of title 20, Code of Federal Regulations, as promulgated by the Secretary of Labor'';

(2) in paragraph (2)(A), by striking ``and 2000'' and inserting ``through 2004''; and

(3) in paragraph (2), by amending subparagraph (B) to read as follows:

``(B)(i) REDUCTION.--The number described in subparagraph (A) shall be reduced, for each fiscal year after fiscal year 2001, by the cumulative number of immigrant visas actually used under paragraph (1) for previous fiscal years.

``(ii) MAXIMUM.--The total number of visas actually used under paragraph (1) may not exceed 50,000.''.

And the Senate agree to the same.

That the House recede from its disagreement to the amendment of the Senate to the title of the bill and concur in the same.
 
F***Ker GC_DJ,

You chopped off a part of the sentence to try to give it a new meaning....what happened to the line containing the word 50%.....the actual statement is

shall be available only to employment-based immigrants, and the dependents of such immigrants, and 50 percent of such visas shall be made available to those whose immigrant worker petitions were approved based on schedule A, as defined in section 656.5 of title 20, Code of Federal Regulations, as promulgated by the Secretary of
14 Labor''
;

Does it make sense now
 
Check out para ii; It says max 50,000. So, what will they do with the left over visa numbers? Probably they will spread it over all the EB categories. Or just EB3. I guess...

Open your eyes and brains, Mr. Shakthi Kapoor and stop disparaging other users of this forum...GC_DJ is talking abt the final conference report version, whereas you are mentioning the Senate version...

The conference version is the latest and printed on 03-May-05.
 
Do I get anything by chopping off and giving new meaning. I just copied and pasted how it is. If you want to read the entite text go to http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query...9:FLD001:H02814 and click on the "printer friendly" link.

Try to be nice, I am also effected by this damn regression, and I will be happy if anybody can proove othewise. The senate version of the bill has 50% wording, but the final bill will be what agreed upon in the House-Senate committe.

I am following the link given by catch_22_4_GC.
