Guys what do you about immigration reform? Does it still have a chance?
ReplyDeleteLets hope for best.
Deletehope so
DeleteIsn't that reform is only for those people that lives in the US without papers? They didn't really talk about making categories current..
Deleteof course no chance, don't be so native, please.
DeleteIve made my fart now i made it thank 3 for tom.
DeleteIt´s very interesting to know in F2A category advance. I´ll expect fast movement
ReplyDeleteSuspense for B3-ROW advancement..
ReplyDeleteYes totally!!! Very curious
Deletehopefully EB3I won't eat up too many visa this year.
DeletePlz tell me f2a is move forward only 3weeks or more???my pd is 1 may 2013
ReplyDeleteyou are the first person I am seeing whose PD is before June 2013. I am really surprised because my friend had PD June 2013 and his wife already got the visa and already here. Did you had RFE? what is your service center? his was VSC.
DeleteIt will move Forward by 5 weeks
ReplyDeleteIs it true??
DeleteI-485 approvals in 60-70 days? Yes, for some cases, so I don't really understand how the system works. Most are clean cut cases but 4 months got passed and still they are in the acceptance stage. And some as said was approved in just a little more than 2 months. Can somebody explain why is this happening? Considering all of the cases are with current PDs.
ReplyDeleteim in f2a category.PD JAN 28,2014.i wish immigration reform is going to do something good
ReplyDeleteIt will not happen as Republican controls House and Senate now. It was possible if Democrats wins in November 2014 Election. House Speaker is not interested immigration reform thats why he did not allow to vote on Senate Passed S.744 bill in June 2013.
Deletedude you don't need this reform. just wait 6-7 more months and you'll good to go
DeleteMitt Romney said comprehensive immigration reform would pass in Washington, D.C. if Congress gets a Republican majority in the U.S senate ....

ReplyDeletePresident Obama encouraged lawmakers to act on immigration reform but vowed Wednesday to take action “before the end of the year” if they delayed.
ReplyDelete“It is my profound preference and interest to see Congress act on a comprehensive immigration reform bill that can strengthen our borders, and streamline our immigration system,” Obama said during a press conference at the White House.Obama to act on immigration reform ‘before the end of the year’ Obama to act on immigration reform ‘before the end of the year’
Once the Immigration Reform done, there will be no wait time for F2A..... please pray for it.... many families are separated.......
Deleteplz move forward 12 months EB3-ROW....
ReplyDeleteIs there a possibility of releasing the visa bulletin today?
ReplyDeleteIm really sad now. F2A is only 3 weeks moved. I almost lost my hope. :``(
ReplyDeleteIts not fair at all.....its too much waiting period for F2A.....life become hectic...its a limit of frustation....when it is become current or faster???
DeleteAlguna esperanza para f2a mexico P.D. 30/OCT./2013. en los siguientes 3 meses, alguien que tenga el dato,
ReplyDeleteGRACIAS.
December 2014 has been released, folks
ReplyDeletehttp://travel.state.gov/content/visas/english/law-and-policy/bulletin/2015/visa-bulletin-for-december-2014.html
Why it is only 5 months for my EB3-China? That is not rapid forward movement.
ReplyDeletebecause:
Delete10% - slow movements won't give you a crazy retrogression like last time.
90% - save up for more spill over visa numbers for the great Indians.
haha lol exact same thought!
DeleteWhen EB3-China will as same as the ROW? Thank you
ReplyDeletenot likely at all, as long as the Indians are still here.
Deletewill EB3-Phils continue to have forward movement for January 2015 Visa bulletin?
ReplyDeleteI believe so in according to CO, but corrective action may be required later in the fiscal year so I assume later will be sometime between June - Septemberish :) Keep praying

ReplyDeletePresident Obama said once again that he won't wait on Congress to start making changes to America's immigration system. In an appearance Sunday on CBS' Face The Nation,Obama stood by his recent statements that he'll use executive action to enact changes before the end of the year, but told host Bob Schieffer that he still wants Congress to act on the issue, too.
ReplyDelete"I prefer and still prefer to see it done through Congress, but every day that I wait we're misallocating resources," said Obama. "We're deporting people that shouldn't be deported. We're not deporting folks that are dangerous and need to be deported."
The president said both sides agree something has to be done on immigration. "We've been talking about it, for years now, in terms of fixing it," said Obama. "We need to be able to secure our border ... And we need to make sure that the millions of people who are here, many who've been here for a decade or more, and have American kids and for all practical purposes are part of our community, that they pay a fine, they pay any penalties, they learn English, they get to the back of the line, but they have a capacity to legalize themselves here."
Everyone agrees, Obama said, that the U.S. doesn't have the capacity to deport 11 million people.
Obama had said this summer that he planned to use executive action to change the immigration system. After pressure from Democrats running for re-election in heavily Republican states, as NPR's Mara Liasson reported, he later announced that he'd delay untilafter the midterm elections.
The delay didn't seem to do much to help Democrats, as Republican candidates went on to sweep those midterms. Now, Obama is returning to his previously-announced plans for executive action.
Republican congressional leaders aren't pleased with Obama's talk of executive action. Staff members in House Speaker John Boehner's office have warned the president against using executive orders to pursue immigration reform, calling it "executive amnesty."
Obama Says He'll Use Executive Orders For Immigration Reform
It will be done before december.... then after there will be no wait time for F2A.......
DeleteThank you for sharing this, it's great news for F2A category. Do you have any idea what would happen to F2B category?
DeleteWow ...great news For f2a
ReplyDeleteOnce immigration reform is done, F2A category will change to immediate relative, there will be no wait time..., once your approval is done the next will be your interview date....
ReplyDeleteDon't think so.
DeleteIs that true....
ReplyDeletecomprehensive immigration reform might be possible in 2015 but right now Obama is focus on the Executive action for illegal immigrants which are mostly hispanics because he believes that these people could help his party in 2016 presidential election and he already promised to them.
