Before you post anything, please do some research on it. Although I do agree, that the dates will retrogress, no one can say for sure Sep99 or any other month.
Depending on what the visa numbers are, the situation will not be as bad as PRE AC21 Law because of the following explanation from Shusterman\'s FAQ on AC21 (http://www.shusterman.com/h1b-faq.html): -
Q4. I have heard that the law abolishes per country quotas. Is this true?
A. Section 104 alters, but does not abolish, per country quotas. Prior law limited the number of employment-based immigrant visas to just under 10,000 annually per country. The new law, on a quarterly basis, allows the use of unused EB visas by persons born in backlogged countries like India and mainland China.
Q5. Does the law allow more persons to immigrate through the EB categories?
A. Yes. While the law does not actually increase the EB quotas, section 106 allows for the more than 100,000 EB visas which were lost in fiscal years 1999 and 2000 due to INS processing delays to be "recaptured" as long as there is excess demand in the EB-1, EB-2 and EB-3 categories.
I hope this helps, everyone.
