EB2/EB3终于要前进了

(梁勇律师事务所，lianglaw.com专稿) 国务院负责计算移民配额的官员 Mr.
Oppenheim
在月20日与美国移民律师协会的一个会议上做出对职业移民排期的预测, Mr.
Oppenheim
也2007年的4月26日证实了他之前的预测 。

Mr. Oppenheim 表示, 上个财政年度有大约11,000 个职业移民配格没有被用掉，而根
据他与移民局及劳工部的官员沟通后, 他认为2007年5月以后将有一些多余的职业移民
名额可以利用, 而从2007年的六月或七月开始全世界包括中国大陆及印度的职业移民第
二类(EB-2)及第三类(EB-3)优先排期也将开始前进，虽然目前无法得知在六、七月的优
先排期会有多显著的前进，但是我们将可以在国务院5月中旬公布的2007年六月份移民
排期中取得相关资料。

Mr. Oppenheim 同时也表示，虽然在六、七月份职业移民将出现前进的情况，但是由于
传统劳工纸及RIR 劳工纸将在今年的九月份完成所有的审理，国务院也预期在2007 年
的秋天职业移民排期将会再度大幅倒退。因此，我们也提醒排期到达，而且能够提出I-
485 的人士要及时把握短短几个月的职业移民排期前进期间及时提出I-485 的申请。

Murthy Takes Action :

MurthyDotCom and MurthyBulletin readers learned that the Visa Bulletin for May 2007 carried a glimmer of hope for stagnant EB categories in our April 20, 2007 article, May 2007: EB3 Movement, Not for China, India or Mexico. On April 20, 2007, Sheela Murthy spoke on an immigration visa panel with Mr. Charles Oppenheim, Chief Immigrant Visa Control and Reporting Division, Department of State Visa Office, at an American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) Conference. After the panel, Mr. Oppenheim discussed the future of visa numbers with Ms. Murthy. He acknowledged that an earlier dialogue during a previous DC AILA Chapter meeting with Attorneys Sheela Murthy and Aron Finkelstein, also of the Murthy Law Firm, had played an important part in ensuing discussions with other government agencies as to the factors impacting the use of Employment immigrant visa numbers during the summer months. Through his deliberations with the U.S. Dept of Labor and the USCIS, Mr. Oppenheim determined that it was appropriate to release some additional visa numbers by moving some of the May cut-off dates, and that movement for India and China is likely to occur, possibly as early as June or July 2007! On April 26, 2007, Mr. Oppenheim confirmed and reviewed this MurthyBulletin article with Attorney Murthy personally once again to ensure its accuracy with respect to the various discussions with the Murthy Law Firm and his estimates on the movement of worldwide immigrant visa numbers.

Visa Numbers Based on Demand
©MurthyDotCom
As regular MurthyDotCom and MurthyBulletin readers know, visa number movement is based upon a number of variables, one of which is the amount of expected demand. [The U.S. Department of State's Visa Bulletin chart is always available on MurthyDotCom.] The U.S. Department of State (DOS) must estimate this demand when it determines what cutoff dates, if any, to establish in the monthly Visa Bulletin. If the demand which DOS has anticipated does not materialize, it is possible that visa numbers will go unused. When asked, Mr. Oppenheim mentioned that this did happen last year and resulted in about 11,000 immigrant visa numbers not being used last fiscal year.

• 拿到绿卡人数多于配额数很正常，因为公民配偶和父母移民不需要配额 -xiaobaitu- ♀ (0 bytes) () 05/01/2007 postreply 14:58:47
