recapture of immigrant visas passed to end EB3 retrogression

My understanding of the bill is

Ac21 is ammended - which means they are capturing 130K unused Visa

For nurses they are allocating a Max of 50K. So we have 80K left.

They have higlighted Nurses because , these are the people who are in demand now.

What makes you think they have 80K left? It's already been stated that 30,000 of the 130,000 were used in FY2003. My guess is that some were used in FY02, and certainly in FY04 and now FY05, which is over halfway-complete.

I wouldn't hold my breath as to how many of those 130K are left.
 
Real Canadian - The previous post is talking abt recapture from 2001 to 2004...and not the earlier recapture of 130K.


Anyways, we still have to wait and see the wording in the final bill that is passed by both the houses and signed into law by the President...

Shusterman seems to highlight 'nurses' becos my guess is most of his clients are nurses and his 'speciality' to be schedule A jobs...Ofcos, I would not put much thought into murthy.com either since She swings from one extreme to another...Lets wait and watch the wordings of the bill to get the latest amendment wording...

I am talking about the recent bill which is trying to recapture the 130K unused visa's from 2001-2004, whereas you are referring to the one passed by Clinton which recaptured unused visas from 1999-2000.

Also from the previous AC21 recapture, 101K is left to be used for the FY2005 according to the Jan 2005 Visa Bulletien

So let us say if he Bill is passed, we would have 19% of (147K visa's for FY2005)+ ( any left out from previous quarters)+ (remaining visa from 101K AC21)+80K from the recent bill.

I am trying to be more positive.

Also check http://www.govtrack.us/congress/billtext.xpd?bill=h109-1268 It says 50% for Schedule A. 50% or 50000, something is hapening.

This is an excerpt from shusterman.com.
It says 50,000 Visas reserved for Shedule A. And max of 50,000 can
be recaptured. Bullshit!!!! nobody needs technology workers. Our
fate is to create millionnairs.





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.''.
 
Don't be PANIC

Friends
Dont Be Panic By This Sbabundle's Reply

It Means That Only 50000 Maximum Is Reserved For Schedule A Occupations

That Means That If There Are 51000 Visa Numbers Available Than 50000 Will Be Reserved For Nurses And 1000 For All Other Occupations


I Think More Than 100000 Visa Numbers Are Available

So Be Confident

Dont Be Negative
 
Hello...

50000 Visas (in Max) will be taken for Nurses only. and what additional 1000 you are saying will remain there..where ever they are..they will not be adjusted anyware....Even I am..dammmmmmmm...frustrated..with this...
 
Reddy

I do not think so. Why are assuming remaning can be used by other than nurses. It clearly says the difference in visa numbers for schedule A.

I think remaining may not use at all.
 
Yes Baby..you got it right , Its like a Buffer..which they will pull only for Nurses..use them..and shut it off.
 
My PD august 2004. I am gone and I lost my hopes. I waiting this congress will do something. Assume now, BEC clearing pending cases. It might takes decades to reach my PD.

I really lost my hopes. Ohh my GOD.

No body wants technical/pharacists.

I dont meant to be panic. Shusterman.com says its only for Nurses.
I talked to my attorneyfirm today and they are telling it wont help tech workers. Like you I also like to be positive and optimist. But being optimistic
won't help much without analyzing the facts and points available at the moment to make decisions one needed to make. These thing could change
at anytime. Probably they will add a clause to include tech workers. Or
another amendment would come soon in the future. But candidly, with the available knowlegde I feel that it will help only Nurses and physios.

Baby

My PD is Apr 2003. I don't know how long it will take it to reach there.
I think we can still do a lot of things. If we make a mass effort writting
to senators and congressmen and also pursue our employers to contact
the senators, may be something good will turn out. But we might
need a mass effort for that.
thanks
babu.
 
Dont Ask One Attorney

Please Dont Ask One Attorney
My Attorney Already Said That Remaining Will Be Allocated To Other Occupations,

Check With 2-3 Attorneys And Verify That
 
Even If They Use Just For Nurses

Even If They Use It Just For Nurses
You Will Still Be Fine


Its Like This

All Fall Under One Category Eb 3 (removing Other Workers)
Example
Tech Workers - 100000
Nurses - 750000
In 2002. Lets Say 40000 Nurses Applied And 70000 Tech Workers
Than Now Due To Retrogression They Have Only Few Visa Numbers

But Using It For Nurses, The Pool Will Get Empty And Priority Dates Will Surely Move Ahead

Its Simple Logic
 
Effort Must

Sbabunble
I Agree With You To Make An Effort
That Is Very True

Let's Start Something Up

Can Anyone Come Up With A Format, So That We Can Start This Move
 
I truely appreciate your optimism..but to tell you in FACT ,
it is not straight as 1+1=2
 
Here is the Logic

Yes it is for Nurses

But Think About THIS:-

IF JOHN ADAM MARK AND JACK ARE TO BE ALLOCATED VISA NUMBERS
AND ACCORDING TO PRIORITY DATE

JOHN 2002
ADAM 2003
MARK 2004
JACK 2005

AND THERE IS ONLY 1 VISA NUMBER PER QUARTER

AND IF JOHN AND JACK ARE NURSES

THEY GET IT RIGHT AWAY WITH THIS BILL
AFTER THAT THERE IS STILL 1 VISA NUMBER AVAILABLE FOR THIS CATEGORY

THAN ADAM WILL BE IN THIS QUARTER AND MARK WILL GET IT IN NEXT QUARTER

IF THE BILL WAS NOT PASSED MARK WOULD HAVE GOT IT AFTER 4 QUARTERS

CONSIDERING THIS THING IN CURRENT SITUATION SHOULD TECHNICALLY MAKE A HUGE MOVE IN PRIORITY DATES
 
Reddy

It deffinetly not helpful for indians because tech people are much more than nurses from india.

Any thought?
 
Answer

I Think Answer To This Will Be If Someone Can Find Out How Many Nurses Applied In Past 3 Years

If There Can Be Some Number Than We Can Guess
