Some happy new for RNs and PTs

Hi!

As every reader of the “www.therightinfo.blogspot.com” blog is surely aware, the EB3 Visa Bulletin dates just leapt forward, which is great news. Essentially the reason that the DOS did this is because the US fiscal year is nearly half over (the fiscal year runs Oct 1- September 30), and the DOS is concerned that all of the visas will not be used. It was this phenomenon – lack of using all visas – that caused the Visa Gate scandal of 2007. By moving the dates ahead now, instead of waiting for June or July like last year, the DOS hopes to avoid having to over-progress the dates this summer.

By way of background, there are two ways that visas can be claimed -- (i) domestically via the I-485 Adjustment of Status and (ii) internationally via the DOS' Consulate system.(the latter is the system that is used in our case, the RNs and PTs from India, I mean most of them) Ideally the US government wants the visas to be used on a priority date basis, which is to say that it shouldn't matter if the I-140 is filed for an AOS or CP; the approval of the immigrant visa should be the same. ( A reason again why we insist you should look for an agency that does the I-140 filing on your behalf without wasting any time)

The USCIS, which is the agency that works the AOS cases, has likely indicated to the DOS that it cannot process as many cases as necessary. Therefore by moving the dates aggressively ahead, it is allowing the Consulates to use more of the visas (which is good for the PTs and RNs, who have already filed their I-140s and very bad for others who have adopted a wait and see policy!).Note however that Section D of the Visa Bulletin in Section D says that if the USCIS improves its processing of AOS cases, the DOS may re-retrogress the EB3 date. On the other hand if the USCIS continues to be unable to timely process AOS cases, there is a chance sometime this spring for the dates to continue to move forward.

But, we again repeat, as we always did, that none of this reduces or eliminates the need for legislation aimed at curing the retrogression of numbers for Schedule A workers. But we are very optimistic that a very favorable decision is certainly to come out. And are you still having any second thoughts on selecting a proper agency that does not shower you with a lot of freebees, but process your I-140, as early as possible?

Before concluding, we again repeat, start your I-140 as early as possible, because every second counts, and do not be lured by agencies offering freebies, but be wise to see the need of the hour and act accordingly. And always keep in mind “the doors of America may not be always open for everyone”, so we need to make it fast.
