Appan:
I asked this in another thread but no response. Do you know the contents of Packet-3? My Attorney just sent a fee bill to St. Louis to yesterday. If I know the contents, I can prepare all the Docs for the attorney in advance and not waste any time answering his questions. Thanks.

yup a day before the June visa supplement was declared shuterman website said that they got a confirmed news that there will be no june visa supplement .. and to my surprise the next day DOS pulished the amended june visa bulletin.... so seriously cannot take their every word for granted .... and also their website says that EB3 will unavailable sometime in SUMMER .... now this summer word is a really vague .... i will suggest wait and watch ... definitely there is less EB3 visas left ...but difficult to predict anything ...
Very bad news for EB3 tech guys again:
It says that, Sched A take visa nummbers from regular EB3 quota first, and if they run out of them then they take from 50000 pool.
source: http://www.immigration-law.com/
In order to maximize availability of the EB-3 visa numbers available for the Schedule A occupations, when the regular EB-3 visa numbers are available for certain Schedule A EB-3 applicants, they will take out the numbers from the regular EB-3 numbers first. Accordingly, practically more numbers than 50,000 could possible be made available for the Schedule A EB-3 applicants because some of the numbers, particularly Filipino nurses have an earlier priority date and they will take out the numbers from the regular EB-3 quota rather than from the recaptured 50,000 pool. These Schedule A applicants will take the recaptured numbers only

Subhash,

Guys,
I did not have a good sleep over the weekend becasue of this http://www.shusterman.com/. His news ticker taking off our hopes on EB3 priority dates.. Lets hope the July bulletin will falsify his prediction..

i find that really hard to believe ...because if that was the case then why did CIS create a separate category for the nurses and PT's.

Me too. I also am not fully convinced if that would happen. Lets hope today the bulletin is out and all speculations put to rest.

AILA has some information at http://www.aila.org/RecentPosting/RecentPostingList.aspx?Weeks=4
titled "The Recaptured 50,000 Schedule A Visa Numbers and Visa Availability Projections for the Remainder of FY05" dated June 10th but requires an AILA membership. Seems to be pretty recent, official and takes the nurses stuff into consideration. Guys, it would help if you can you ask your lawyer to check this out. Would post if I hear back from mine.

It is because hard work by USCIS
USCIS is approving the pending applications from 2001 to 2004. Earlier people were going CP ,because I-485 was taking lot of time. Now they started to approving the cases we have this retrogression. It was current since 2001 because of AC-21 numbers and limited(or almost nil) I-485 approvals during the post 9-11 period.
Only way to bring it back to current is reducing the approvals of I-485 or bring the bill to increase the visa numbers.
