【From LIA】關於五月VB, LIA 和奧本海穆的最新通訊
前幾天,一些移民律師預測中國的EB2因為需求過量而會在五月VB裏 Unavailable。昨
天我們和AILA的主席的通話也印證了這種預測。
今天(4/4),LIA 在芝加哥的一位口語能力很強的成員在上周和 Oppenheim 通話後,
又和他再次通話,詢問五月份VB的情況。Oppenheim的回答比上次要謹慎很多。他表示
五月中國的EB2不會U,而且反複強調中印EB2的cut-off dates 會一樣。
特此聲明,這隻是LIA和Oppenheim的在東部時間四月四日三點半下午的對話。並不代表
五月VB的最後結果。但是,根據Oppenheim的謹慎口氣,我們估計他的話很有可能兌現
。那麽我們前幾天估計的中國EB2的U將得到改善。至於說cut off dates和老印一樣是
否公平,因為我們還不知道我們和老印的EB2到底誰多,所以不好說相同日期誰占便宜
。但是,我們已經在四月VB上吃了大虧,現在這點小便宜或者小虧,可以忽略。
到現在,LIA在全美範圍內的請願已經觸動了十多個議員辦公室,更有六七個辦公室已
經代表我們向DOS提出了針對visa number 分配問題的質詢,所以Oppenheim 肯定已經
感受了到來自中國移民的壓力。這種壓力或多或少會對五月VB產生一定影響。現在需要
的是加強這種壓力,讓更多的議員辦公室質詢DOS。LIA在全國20個分會正在積極準備造
訪更多的議員辦公室。已有兩家已經成行。請關注LIA的動向。謝謝。

1) What's your estimate on May Visa Bulletin for employment based category 1
, 2 and 3?
O: EB-1 will stay current for all. EB-2 world-wide will stay current.
There will be slight movement for EB-2 China AND India, but they'll have the
same cut-off date. For EB-3, there'll be slight movement as well.
2) So by saying "slight movement", do you mean a month or could you specify
the date?
O: Sorry I can't tell you the exact date. As I said, there will be slight
movement for both EB2 China and EB2 India.
3) There has been some rumor around saying that both China and India EB-2
will become unavailable in May?
O: No, that'll probably happen at the end of this FY, but not in May. Right
now I don't see we need to make that adjustment yet.
4) I guess many people will be glad to know there will be movement for all.
When can we expect to see the official May visa bulletin?
O: That will come out sometime next Tuesday or Wednesday.
