یکی دو ساعت بعد از انتشار ویزا بولتن دسامبر 2022 الیس پورتر دستپاچه یه ایمیل با این مفهوم زد که برای کسانی که از خارج آمریکا اقدام میکنند مشکلی پیش نمیاد. البته که نمیشه ایمیلش رو کامل رد کرد ولی همه چیز در ویزا بولتن شماره بعدی روشن میشه. به نوعی بلافاصله بعد از انتخابات کنگره ویزا بولتن تغییر کرد و به نوعی خوش آیند هندی ها شده. شاید ایگل اکت داره با چراغ خاموش اجرا میشه.
ایمیل الیس پورتر :
Dear Clients,
Today, the Visa Bulletin for December was released, and we learned that there would be a retrogression in the EB-2 category for all countries (excluding India and China, which are already backlogged) effective December 1, 2022. A retrogression can affect when you might be eligible to file an I-485 application, but it has no impact on the I-140 process. The retrogression is very modest: the backlog is only one month, meaning that only people filing their I-140 after November 1, 2022, will be unable to immediately file their I-485 within the month of December.
The purpose of this message is to help you understand if you might be impacted by this new development:
If you have already filed your I-485, you should not be impacted.
If you are outside the US and planning to apply for an immigrant visa, you should not be impacted.
If you filed your I-140 on or before November 1, 2022, you should not be impacted.
If you were born in India or China, you should not be impacted.
If you are a client only for an O-1 petition, you should not be impacted.
If you do not have an urgent need to file your I-485 soon, you should not be impacted.
The main individuals who will be affected by this retrogression are people who are planning to concurrently file their I-140 and I-485 by the end of 2022 due to an expiring status in the US. If you believe this describes you, please reach out to the lead attorney handling your case to discuss your options. Please do not reply to this message.
