各位移民大師請進 - RAISE 新法對排期的被砍掉的家庭移民種類影響

根據Cotton等提出的新移民法，要砍掉F4等家庭移民。下麵是新法全文及effective date摘要。請問，這是說，如果新法通過，已經在排期的F4，將不會受新法影響被砍掉，是嗎？但是我不敢確信 “any application for an immigrant visa based on such a petition“ 該怎麽解釋。在排期的Visa 屬於 application階段還是 Approved？

(e) Effective Date; Applicability.—

(1) EFFECTIVE DATE.—The amendments made by this section shall take effect on the first day of the first fiscal year that begins after the date of the enactment of this Act.

(2) INVALIDITY OF CERTAIN PETITIONS AND APPLICATIONS.—Any petition under section 204 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1154) seeking classification of an alien under a family-sponsored immigrant category that was eliminated by the amendments made by this section and filed after the date on which this Act was introduced and any application for an immigrant visa based on such a petition shall be considered invalid.
