Category Quota Actual Allocation
ReplyDeleteF2A 87,934 74,655
this seems to be good, right? The quota is bigger than the demand, meaning that F2A should move forward based on the given data. right?
No, it is the opposite. The demand is much higher, but they were not able to allot these visas. Hence around 10,000 visas were "wasted" in FB category (and assigned to EB category in next fiscal year).
DeleteAmazon, where can we read about the amount of time one has to wait to be eligible for US citizenship? How long for EB?
ReplyDeleteGC holder can typically apply for citizenship after around 5 years. If GC holder is married to US Citizen, the number is reduced to 3 years,
DeletePor favor amazon, conteste que si la cuota de 87 y la asignación es de 74 entonce yo soy de sept 16,2013, en que tiempo puedo esperar.Gracias.
ReplyDeleteSorry, I did not understand the question.
DeleteWow. People seem to be somewhat confused with these tables. These are NOT DEMAND data. These tables show how many visas were available (quota) for each category and how many were given out (actual allocation) in Fiscal Year 2013 which ended in Sept 2013. No prediction can be made based on the information on the tables.
ReplyDeleteI'm unsure if Amazon speaks spanish.
Para quien pregunto en espanol: Supongo esta preguntando con respecto a la categoria F2A. La informacion en este post no ayuda a descifrar cuando avance la fecha para que le toque su turno. Intento usar la calculadora de este website? Suerte.
Thanks anonymous. I could use the Google translate app to translate it to English.
DeleteAccording to latest news from USCIS/DOS, F2A category is not expected to retrogress in the next few months,
any data for eb3 Philippines?
ReplyDeleteI have added it in the answer to first question above.
DeleteIs there a chance to know how many will be alloted for EB2 India in this yr quota?
