Good news. Hope they implement something.
But what about short term waiters who have spent 1+ year in this prison.
Think about this, two applicant file Labor on say Jan 1 2002
Then one gets Labor cleared in 2004 and files 485 say in October 2004. Another one like several thousond of us rot in PBEC and DBEC. They get labor cleared in 2006 and file in say July 2006. They are 1+ year victim but person whose RD is 2004 is granted a 3 + victim status. To me both have sufferered and actually the one's who filed after suffering BEC have suffered more as they did not even have the coverage of EAD. I spent sleepless nights when a layoff was looming in my company and H1B clock ticking down to last months.
In short I do not see this as justice to BEC sufferers. If there is fairness in system it should come by taking P.D strictly in to account.
There is no faire
I think people think only about the last stage and say "You have waited only for 1 year". I know how it feels like getting crucified in BEC.
