EB2/EB3終於要前進了

(梁勇律師事務所，lianglaw.com專稿) 國務院負責計算移民配額的官員 Mr.
Oppenheim
在月20日與美國移民律師協會的一個會議上做出對職業移民排期的預測, Mr.
Oppenheim
也2007年的4月26日證實了他之前的預測 。

Mr. Oppenheim 表示, 上個財政年度有大約11,000 個職業移民配格沒有被用掉，而根
據他與移民局及勞工部的官員溝通後, 他認為2007年5月以後將有一些多餘的職業移民
名額可以利用, 而從2007年的六月或七月開始全世界包括中國大陸及印度的職業移民第
二類(EB-2)及第三類(EB-3)優先排期也將開始前進，雖然目前無法得知在六、七月的優
先排期會有多顯著的前進，但是我們將可以在國務院5月中旬公布的2007年六月份移民
排期中取得相關資料。

Mr. Oppenheim 同時也表示，雖然在六、七月份職業移民將出現前進的情況，但是由於
傳統勞工紙及RIR 勞工紙將在今年的九月份完成所有的審理，國務院也預期在2007 年
的秋天職業移民排期將會再度大幅倒退。因此，我們也提醒排期到達，而且能夠提出I-
485 的人士要及時把握短短幾個月的職業移民排期前進期間及時提出I-485 的申請。

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.

• 拿到綠卡人數多於配額數很正常，因為公民配偶和父母移民不需要配額 -xiaobaitu- ♀ (0 bytes) () 05/01/2007 postreply 14:58:47
