The Visa Bulletin

Hello all. F3 Category has gone ahead for only a WEEK. This is at least better than STOPPING, but I’m very disappointed, because all the people were saying that the long delay had been due to visa number limit they have and that in OCTOBER bulletin, it will go smoothly. But now that it has moved ahead it means that they have not had visa limit and we can not expect better movements in Oct. bulletin, taking into consideration that F3 category is the WORST as I’m seeing these days. All other categories have moved much better than that. Please post some views to see what the hell is happening regarding this category?

I know how you feel PB. Shit happens. I’m waiting for like forever. It is really unfair.

Not much movement in EB-2….I hope its not pushed back by in Sept buletin

my priority date is nov 24 2000 in the f3 category if september bulletin is what to continue in october i am not confident that i will see america any time soon

My PD is oct 2007 EB2 India, when can I apply 485, any guess???
Thanks and good luck to all who are waiting for their GC….

OH AND IM AN EB3 NETHERLANDS

I READ THE VSA BULLETIN

SO ANY CHANCES OF ME GETTING ANYWHERE?

hi everyone; i do agree with pb and has same temptation and thought what he had express SAYING most disastress category F-3 is; and for god sake i would”nt had filed in this particular category.But let me give you my view over this category that they are planning to make F-3 and F-4 both to be processed together in a near future time;and that what it looks like.The year 97 and 98 being processed in four year time but 99 took only 6 month time to process;and that seems to be miracle ‘when even past year this never being happen.so guys put your finger cross; because there seems to be F-3 may move without any month being repeated.MAY GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU AND GOOD LUCK

Hi, new to this. Could somebody tell me how to read the chart?

I am a citizen and want to petition my adult unmarried child in the Philippines.

Is that catoagory “1ST (F1)” and if it is, does that mean that “01APR93? is the date they are currently processing and if I petitioned today it would take approx 15 years for my child to obtain a visa?

Thanks!

Hi

One question

1. My I-140 is approved unders EB2 Category recently.

If I have to resign the current company and go to a different company, I heard that I can use the Labor Priority date, and port the I-140.

If it is true, then should I work in the current company for any number of days?

Thanks
Ashman

hi,
i’m under F1 (student) visa right now while waiting for the visa to be open (according to my lawyer). But, i’m just really confuse? I have the visa screen, passed the NCLEX, IELTS, and already have a hospital to petition me. When can I get my status to be adjusted? I paid my lawyer for the filing fee for I-140 or I-485 last March. Pls. Help.. I need some enlightenment. Can’t get information from my lawyer. and im so confused.

my PD is CATEGORY F1 – January 2003, how soon would my visa be ready. kindly aDVISE. THANKS

Harsha,

Based on my experince, since your PD is in oct 2007, I think it will take 4 – 5 months for you to file 485. This all depends on the october 2008 visa bulletin. So hope for the best . Good luck, Raj

I have read that in 10:15 US time they will marked up the bill. Nursing immigration news.

new VB for october

Missy,

I am on the same boat as you are Eb3, but my priority date is Dec,05.

I found this explanation:

“Employment-Based, Third Preference (EB3)
This category became unavailable in July 2008 for all countries of chargeability. This means that no more numbers will be available for the remainder of FY2008. The September Visa Bulletin indicates an expectation that the cutoff dates in EB3 will be reestablished in the October 2008 Visa Bulletin (which begins the FY2009), with the dates that had been available in June 2008. Due to ongoing heavy demand for the EB3 visa numbers, however, the date may have to be pushed back further than its previous cutoff. The expected cutoff date in EB3 category in the October Visa Bulletin cannot be determined at this time, and it is unclear whether the expectation that cutoff dates will be set further back than they were in June 2008 refers to all countries of chargeability in EB3.”

checking June bulletin the cut-off date was 01Mar2006. Having said that hopefully, the cut-off date will not be set back at all and if they are not a date prior to your priority date. You are in a better situation than mine as I am quite close, Dec, 05, yours is July,04 .
Not much to do other than watch out for the Oct, 08 bulletin.

Hope this helps…
