1.綠卡上的號碼就是485上的A#,有綠卡的請出來證明。有理由認定這個號碼就是Immigrant Visa number
2.獲得這個number,並不意味著485被批準。至於美國務院怎樣避免號碼浪費,發得號數等不等於每年實際移民的數,定額沒完成怎麽辦,不得而知。
3.LC-based EB3排期始於01/2005,請查http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/bulletin/bulletin_1770.html. 之前遞485的確實不受影響, 之後的排期以後的不得遞485。至於USCIS是否控製485批準進度不得而知,但有一點很清楚,那與我們討論的排期無關。
4.排期是就Immigrant Visa number而言,以下來自http://uscis.gov/graphics/howdoi/immvisa.htm.
