Good news for EB3 if it helps IT guys

####HOPE..ITS GOOD NEWS##########
I went thru the bill.
It talks about nursing shortage.
If the released visa numbers are applicable for all the EB3 categories.
We can see a big movement in priority dates when the Lantos bill is passed.

section 203(b) covers all employment based categories

This bill is seeking recapturing of alll visas covered under 203(b)
which includes nursing also and all other employment based categories.
Let's hope it comes thru soon.

Not so good news

According to shusterman site chances of passingof this bill is 0%(Dead on arrival) because it is not cosponsered by an republican.

i read this on the murthy site
==>
here is an UPDATE about the Lantos Bill..

about 5 congressman sign as a co sponsor last jan 25, 2005.

Rep George Miller- CA - 7
Rep Juanita Mc donald- Ca -37
Rep Julia Carson IN
Rep Marion Berry -AR
Rep Gary Ackerman - NY

===>
not able to verify the authenticiity but is an encouraging news.

Secondly the bill only mentions about nurses but does not have any references to other employment based categories, so it needs to be seen if it will be benefit us.
