PT filed GC under schedule A..now full..will take 6-8yrs!!
My husband (he is Physical Therapist) applied for our GCs under schedule A (special interest) in June '04. Our current attorney says that there was a quota for 50,000 GCs under schedule A and it is full now. And that now our GC applications have fallen in the general Employment-based GC and will take 6-8 yrs, and all we can do is wait! He says the wait will depend on our priority date, but I am not sure what it means. What is priority date?
Our cases have been in the FBI name/security check stage since Nov '05. Everytime we put in a referral/inquire (which is every 2 months), we are told that 'necessary background checks' are going on.
Can something be done? Can someone give any input on this matter?
Thanks
