发帖数: 29053 | 1 07/02/2011: Eyes of East Indians and Chinese Professionals Focused on
Upcoming August Visa Bulletin Since It Can Go Both Ways
Under the U.S. Department of State policy, the visa numbers are allocated
quaterly in compliance with certain standards such that the visa numbers are
managed and distributed in a regulated and orderly matter considering the
trend of demands for the visa numbers by the USCIS and Visa Posts outside of
the United States. The last quarter allocation has historally shown
unpredictable fluctuation depending on the pace of demand by the USCIS and
Visa Posts since the annual visa quota numbers will have to be used before
September 30, 2011 not to waste the annual visa quota numbers. One famous
record with devastating and embarassing consequences was so-called FY 2007
Visa Bulletin fiasco. The State Department determined that there had been a
large number of EB visa numbers yet to be consumed during the 4th quarter of
FY 2007 that starts on July 2007 and in order not to waste any visa numbers
, it released July 2007 Visa Bulletin with all the EB-2 and EB-3 visa
numbers "current." As usual, the July 2007 Visa Bulletin was released in
June 2007. It led to the complete exhaustion of the FY 2007 EB visa numbers
in a matter of days in July 2007, overpowering the capacity of the USCIS to
manage the avalanche of I-485 applications and ancillary applications of EAD
and Advance Parole. Worse yet, the State Department apparently belatedly
miscalculated the USCIS demand, which was detected by the USCIS fax to the
Visa Bureau, the State Department released amended July 2007 Visa Bulletin
with cut-off dates on July 1, 2007. Facing legality of such action, followed
by class action lawsuits, apparently the USCIS and the State Department
reached an unusual agreement that the earlier release of Visa Bulletin will
not allow the USCIS and visa posts to approve immigrant visas or approve I-
485 unless the priority date was earlier than July 2007, but the USCIS will
accept new I-485 applications regardless of the priority date, no matter
whether there were any remaining visa numbers for FY 2007 or not. This
literally opened a flood gate! This decision took time with very complicated
legal and administration process within the government. This created
another problem. The USCIS released final regulation changing immigration
filing fees effective end of July 2007. Consequently, the action of the Visa
Bureau tremendously disrupted the USCIS financial plan involving the fee
structure changes and fee increases for its funding. Literally there was a
mess. That is why it was called a "FIASCO."
The agencies have learned a good lesson on importance of close coordination
between the State Deparment and the USCIS and this reproter guarantees that
"It Ain't Going to Repeat" in August Visa Bulletin. The eyes of the Indians
and Chinese are focused on the upcoming Visa Bulletin because they know that
depending on the demand data and the total of the reserve for the rest of
the fiscal year 2011, it can go either way - continuing EB visa number
progression for Indians and Chinese or halt or even backward movement of the
cut-off dates for Indians and Chinese in the worst case. No one knows the
answer at this time, even though there is a speculation that it may remain
stand-still in August. But we will find it out soon. Until that time, please
enjoy the nation's important Independence Day, the Fourth of July. There
will be lots of fireworks and concerts around. Lots of Red/Blue/White color
decorations, not to mention American flags all over. Let's celebrate! | P****S
