Deletei dont understand why you are so happy about this. there is nothing for legal immigration, specially family based in the executive action.
Deletetake that back then. thought it was gonna be good news as someone said ROW categories would become current.. lol.. though i doubted it. 3-6 months progress is good enough

Here is another post my friend, which will ensure that you also get some happy vibes:
Deletehttp://www.whitehouse.gov/issues/immigration/streamlining-immigration
Here is the excerpt from above link which seems to be exactly for legal immigrants:
The proposal also eliminates the backlog for employment-sponsored immigration by eliminating annual country caps and adding additional visas to the system. Outdated legal immigration programs are reformed to meet current and future demands by exempting certain categories from annual visa limitations.
my friend i meant to say that nohthing about F2A category.
DeleteOnce the immigration reform is done, there will be no wait time for F2A..... F2A will be current forever
DeleteTrue it's not for us. Only for those illegal immigrants.. :( I hope president would make out 2015 happy too.
DeleteAgreed. Too many idiots happy over nothing. If u truly want all countries to be C, sorry to say that, but block indians from applying visas for 2 months. There u have all the numbers. I am surprised there is no streamline system for shipping indians here since we r basically swallowing tens of thousands indians each year and ALL of our spill overs headed into eb2I and eb3I. Ridiculous.
DeleteIs if only for Indians?
ReplyDeleteYes. Of course it is just for Indians, because we LOVE to see you here, EVERYWHERE.
DeleteI do not think it is true

DeleteRead this http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2014/11/14/obamas-immigration-plan-10-executive-actions-being-weighed-by-president/
DeleteIt's not that simple...
Immigration Reform in next week..... great news for family applicants.....
ReplyDelete1. Change annual cap from 226,000 to 161,000. Following is the allocation:
ReplyDeletea. Unmarried adult children of U.S. citizen: 35%
b. Married adult children of U.S. citizen under age 31 at the time of filing: 25%
c. Unmarried adult children of lawful permanent resident: 40%
Annual cap change from 226,000 to 161,000 is effective 18 months after date of enactment. Though the annual cap will decrease, overall the number of family based immigration visas issued will increase (because of expanded definition of immediate relative).
2. Expand V visa to to allow following individuals with an approved family petition (I-130) to live in the U.S:
a. Unmarried adult children of permanent residents/U.S. citizen
b. Married adult children of U.S. citizen under 31 years at time of filing the petition.
3. No more visa for siblings (brothers/sisters) of U.S. citizens 18 months after enactment of CIR. Hence this will remove F4 category.
4. Immediate Relative now include a child or spouse of an alien admitted for lawful permanent residence.
5. Recapture unused visas from 1992 to 2013; effective first FY from the date when this bill becomes law
6. Increase per country cap from 7% to 15%.
Following applicants are excluded from annual FB cap (they have unlimited visas):
1. Spouses and minor children of permanent residents
2. Spouses and minor children of U.S. citizen
3. Parents of U.S. citizen
Note: If a U.S. citizen sponsors their parents, then they can also (indirectly) sponsor their minor sibling (brother/sister). This is because the minor sibling would be considered derivative beneficiary of parents and hence would be able to immigrate with them.
next week there will be action, not immigration reform. Now the question is : " what will action legislate about F2a? In this blog Does anyone know definite anything about action?
DeleteHi!! Do you guys have any reliable information how immigration reform will impact F2A category?????
ReplyDeleteDid you read the above information... if not once go through it you will get the clear picture of Immigration Reform....

DeleteFollowing applicants are excluded from annual FB cap (they have unlimited visas):

3. Parents of U.S. citizen
This will happen After Immigration Reform
But the elimination of the FB cap is not included on te initial immigration reform:

Deletewho says it will be current after reform?
DeleteThis reform has nothing to do with F2A category guys.
ReplyDeleteI am curious how and what will be signed as part of executive action before end of year. Hopefully this means EAD's for people who have approved I-140's.
ReplyDelete"Expand high-tech visas"
"The plan calls for working with the State Department to expand visas for foreign-born workers with high-tech skills, to support U.S. businesses. This is projected to offer another half-million immigrants a path to citizenship. Groups like the Chamber of Commerce have been calling for more of these visas – but Sen. Sessions has argued that the priority should be getting U.S. citizens back to work"
can you guys give final idea which immigration reform will affect F2A category or not.. sooo confused... if yes... any resource????
ReplyDeleteyes! all categories will be current both employment and family based petition next month. im positive that it will come soon.

DeleteVery funny..
DeleteMeh he is gonna fail anyway. Cya in 10 years.
DeleteThe President's Proposal
ReplyDeleteKeep families together.
The proposal seeks to eliminate existing backlogs in the family-sponsored immigration system by recapturing unused visas and temporarily increasing annual visa numbers. The proposal also raises existing annual country caps from 7 percent to 15 percent for the family-sponsored immigration system. It also treats same-sex families as families by giving U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents the ability to seek a visa on the basis of a permanent relationship with a same-sex partner. The proposal also revises current unlawful presence bars and provides broader discretion to waive bars in cases of hardship.
Cut red tape for employers.

Don't separate husband and wife.., frustration is killing......Keep families together.....F2A should be current forever......
ReplyDeleteChanging the law, to upgrade spouses of legal permanent residents to immediate relative status, allowing those spouses to adjust status to obtain a green card, is one of the lead proposals in the proposed comprehensive immigration reform law. It is proposed to eliminate the huge backlogs in the number of applicants waiting for the chance to adjust status, who have approved petitions but must wait for their date of petition to become "current", allowing them to adjust status to get a green card.
ReplyDeleteWhat can President Obama actually do?
ReplyDeleteThe following are some practical changes the president can make without Congressional action:
He can grant deferred action for parents of childhood arrivals. Under DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals), children who came to the U.S. under the age of 16 and remain under 31 years of age as of June 15, 2012, among other requirements, are eligible for deferred action status — they can remain in the U.S. for two years and are eligible to work. This is not a pathway to citizenship, but allowing parents to also receive deferred action status will prevent families from being separated. If you have questions about DACA and its eligibility requirements, please contact our office.
He can change the way certain deportation cases are handled, mandating that federal authorities use favorable prosecutorial discretion. He could also stop deportations of spouses and children of U.S. citizens with no criminal records.
He can designate that those with Temporary Protected Status (TPS) are eligible to apply for permanent residence if they receive approval of their visa petitions. This is already available to citizens of certain countries where there is political turmoil or a natural disaster making it unsafe for them to return.
He can grant the undocumented spouses and children of U.S. citizens “parole in place”, thereby permitting them to apply for lawful permanent residence without leaving the United States and face a three-or-ten-year bar for entering unlawfully.
He can change the way family and employment-based immigrant visas are counted against the worldwide visa quota. Currently, each member of the family is counted against the quota, whereas the president could make EACH FAMILY UNIT considered as one visa regardless of how many individuals in the family. This would open up the number of available visas, keep families together, and help employers hire skilled workers in a more efficient way.
He can extend practical training programs for all foreign graduates of U.S. universities. This was implemented in 2012 for immigrants who are skilled in the STEM fields (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) and it has helped U.S. employers benefit longer from the talent of these individuals. Many talented students are forced to leave the U.S. after graduating from college or if they are hired, immigration restrictions often make it difficult for them to stay. In the same vein, the president could also make it easier for professors/researchers/employers to prove to the government that their prospective employee is outstanding in his or her field and worthy of remaining in the U.S. Extending practical training to all foreign students would free up the professional H-1B work visa quota, which usually is filled after the first day these visas become available.
The president can grant work permission to spouses of H-1B professionals and O-1 extraordinary workers, creating even more space for eligible foreign workers to fill the H-1B quota. If someone obtains an H-1B visa and has a spouse who also has professional aspirations, it makes sense that they be able to work rath

DeletePRESIDENT OBAMA EXPECTED TO ANNOUNCE EXECUTIVE ACTION PLAN IN THE COMING WEEK
ReplyDeleteRecently some major changes occurred over the political landscape of our country. For the first time in eight years, the Republican Party has control of the Senate. For the remainder of President Obama’s term, the controlling party in both chambers of Congress will be Republican. If we draw correlating lines to the fate of overall Immigration Reform, the long, drawn out attempt from advocates and pro-reform politicians who have fought and demonstrated for sweeping change of a broken immigration system — Comprehensive Immigration Reform may be farther away than ever or Republicans may decide to finally come together and bring a bill, or a series of bills, to the President. There is no clear-cut indication of either/or.
Fortunately, what Congress plans on doing no longer matters. With an issue as uncertain as Immigration Reform, one thing that appears certain is that President Obama will no longer wait for Congress.
Since the midterm congressional elections, the President has said on various public platforms that he is “going to do what [he] can do through executive action.” Over the past few months, he has been convening with members of his administration and legal scholars to determine what exactly that entails. This plan should be announced before the end of the year.
What are possible actions the president could take and who may be favorably affected?
The president’s plan is expected to provide relief to millions of immigrants currently living in the country. The following is a rough estimation of the possible changes the president could make:
Unauthorized Immigrants Who Are Married to US Citizens or Green Card Holders – Immigrants in the US with spouses who have either US citizenship or a green card could become eligible for legal resident status, granted permission to work, and have their immigration interviews in the US.
Unauthorized Immigrants with US Citizen Children — Many families are being unnecessarily torn apart because of a system intent on deporting for the sake of deporting. Under current law, the parents of such children cannot apply for legal status until their child turns 21. The president could make these immigrants eligible for legal status right away.
Other Unauthorized Immigrants with Children — This would help the families who have children in the US who are not citizens, but are under 21.
The president could also provided relief for parents of DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals). Since 2012, under certain eligibility requirements, immigrant children have been granted the ability to remain in the country and work. The parents of DACA recipients could receive similar opportunity.
Certain Immigrants Waiting to Receive their Green Cards — Right now, there are thousands of immigrants who have legally entered the immigration system waiting as long as a decade for permanent residence. A broken immigration system has created long visa backlogs and left these immigrants in no-man’s-land as they wait. The president could reduce the long waiting lines for these people.
In the next few weeks, the exact details will be announced. What exactly they are or who will be affected is still to be determined.
Please follow closely to determine if you are eligible for relief and what the next steps will be once they are announced. In addition, our office will be holding seminars in various cities across the country to better explain how the executive action plan could impact you. Please watch for further details on this matter.
Of course, if you have any questions or would like to discuss any details surrounding your case in relation to the president’s impending plan, please contact our office. WATCH FOR MORE INFORMATION SOON.

ReplyDeleteF2A will become current once the immigration reform is done in the next week... many family members are waiting for long time to stay together...
ReplyDeleteI don't think so...how do you know about that ..
ReplyDeletei dont see anything about good news F2A
ReplyDeleteThis link from the most authenticate source in the world is for the duffers on this forum who doesnt have any sense on what Mr president's executive action is all about and saying that it will not impact on family based category:
ReplyDelete"http://www.forbes.com/sites/stuartanderson/2014/11/14/will-president-obama-help-legal-immigrants-too/"
That is a very very helpful link explaining exactly what problems legal immigants face and what solution are most helpful!!! Without this article, I was trying to infer indirectly from other articles the information in this article. Glad to see my inferences are not too bad. Hopefully executive action will have these issues taken care.
DeleteMainly EAD's for people who have approved I-140's is such a relief and such a low hanging fruit that it should have been done long back.
It is called executive action on immigration reform. So duffers in what universe immigration reform could happen without changing legal immigration system. Thats why its called common sense bill and one should have a common sense to understand this.
ReplyDeleteWell said....
DeleteHe must give relief to legal immigrants, he must think about F2A and take the executive action... Mr.president must think more about legal immigrants than illegals..... legal immigrants are suffering to stay with their families, frustration is killing.... Mr.President must think more about Legal Immigrants....

DeleteRepublicans are thinking about legally immigration,don't worry.
DeleteTo be a right person is always good.
Your absolutely right...
ReplyDeleteThe Second Preference F2A Category
ReplyDeleteEach year, the Department of State allocates 115,000 visas under the Second Preference Category. This preference category is currently experiencing a backlog of about 700,000, as indicated by the Migration Policy Institute’s testimony. The data is derived from the Department of State’s National Visa Center and excludes filings that are sent to the USCIS, which is believed to be a much larger number. The Migration Policy Institute has been conducting migration studies from around the world for years, looking at each country’s immigration policy and how “nimble” those policies are to migration issues. In comparison to other countries, the extended waiting periods imposed on LPRs and their nuclear families in the U.S. is “unique.” [That’s certainly putting it lightly.] Most importantly, it is precisely these long waiting periods that incentivize individuals to break U.S. immigration laws. In fact, Ranking Member Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) asked what the country had to gain by separating wives and husbands and parents from their children. Mr. Papademetriou commented that, “Separating spouses and children is unnatural.”
Reducing the F2A Visa Backlog
The American Families United testified on their goal to unite nuclear families in the U.S., be it spouses and children of U.S. citizens or legal permanent residents, mainly in reference to the F2A visa preference category. Its desire is to have Congress fold the F2A category into the Immediate Relatives category, in order to eliminate any waiting period for spouses and children of legal permanent residents. This recommendation was also favored by the Migration Policy Institute, and surprisingly, well-received by Representative Raul Labrador (R-ID). The current waiting period for those in this category are roughly two years but even longer for families in certain countries, like Mexico and the Philippines. The other alternative, recommended by the Migration Policy Institute, is to revise the “V” non-immigrant visa to allow for spouses and unmarried children of LPRs to come to the U.S. by removing certain provisions in that were written into the Legal Immigration Family Equity Act of 2000.

The reform would b nice if that would happen really soon. There's so many f2a categories like me thats hoping to b with their family. But sad to say it is not the reform that the president is planning to sign next week. Its about giving amnesty to the illegal immigrants. Preventing them from deportation. This news made me sad all day, bcoz like everyone I was really waiting for this coming week. There is an immigrant lawyer on fb that's been posting this updates about this I got curious so I asked him. I hope president will give us the reform not just for illegal immigrants. We have family too.
ReplyDeleteMy pd is dec 30 2013, I am getting my citizenship by next month, had applied through green card and its already been almost a year, will upgrade of status help to speed the process up guys, thanks in advance.
ReplyDeleteHave no idea what the heck u r talking about .

ReplyDeletePlz make F2A Current.., very tough situation without family...
ReplyDeleteIf F2A move 3-4 weeks each month then it takes more than 2 years to get our dates current....
ReplyDeleteREAD THIS CAREFULLY (F2A) APPLICANTS
ReplyDeleteMay be in this week or possibly next week Mr. President going to take executive action on Immigration Reform, there is nothing to do with the Immigration Reform for families of Legal Immigrants..., Mr. President should think more abut legal immigrants than illegal immigrants, after the executive action 5 million undocumented illegal’s are going to getting Green Cards, and the families of legal immigrants who are divided with their spouses and children’s are suffering and waiting to stay together….
F2A applicants and their families are suffering a lot, frustration is killing…, and this is not fare separating husband and wife for more than two years…
Mr. President must consider F2A in his executive action and give relief to the families to stay together…
you are right... we are suffering from pain to stay together... this is not fair
DeleteWe don't know yet about the details of executive order. Let's wait till the announcement.

DeleteNO ONE KNOWS. WE SHOULD WAIT TILL THE END OF THIS WEEK
DeleteIn my opinion they should test the applicant's English proficiency - and of course their politeness - before issuing any visa.
Deleteanyway, you should say "F2A IS not current / Won't be current"
Actually I'm a US citizen, the word you are looking for its "retarded" not "retard" and I'm kinda happy they don't let you leave the India, although McDonalds here really need you :))
DeleteWe cannot say any thing now, we have to wait till this week...Mr.President must give relief to F2A applicants waiting to join their families for long time... legal immigrants must be preferred more then illegal....
ReplyDeleteJust wait for a week the clear picture of F2A will be released...
ReplyDeleteStill we had a hope from executive action on immigration reform, the final draft is still in progress... just wait and watch....
ReplyDeleteIf F2A is not preferred in immigration reform, we F2A applicants have to wait more than two years to get our dates current... currently F2A movement is 3-4 weeks each month... currently more than 5 lac applicants waiting in queue, frustration will kill every one....
ReplyDeleteF2A will be curent next month, so happy
ReplyDeleteHow about F1 ?
DeleteI miss my children,do you have some good news for adult children of US citizens?
No this category will remain same.., it will move 2-3 weeks each month, it is fixed
DeleteGive us the source that F2A will be Current.... please don't give fake updates

ReplyDeleteThere is no mention of legal immigration in recent days. Brace yourself for no changes on this front
ReplyDeleteFor anyone who don't want Indians here, your forefathers came to this land searching for us.
ReplyDeleteshit it seems there won't be any improvement for F2A cases. That wouldn't be fair

ReplyDeleteAbsolutely right
DeleteGood news is expected for F2A on immigration reform this thursday.....
ReplyDeletewill all the family based categories move rapidly or only F2A?
ReplyDeleteOnly F2A, this category is very important than other categories, separating husband and wife is unfair
ReplyDeletepartly correct but,
DeleteAs in some of the previous comments it was mentioned that the cap for family based categories will be increased from 7 to about 15,then how can only F2A be on the gaining side,what i think is that it will affect all the FB categories irrespective of sub-categories....fingers crossed though
All categories are important , not only F2A! Cap will be increased for FB categories ! Whether you like or not ! If you have to wait you must wait !
DeleteHeart beat is raising on for today's announcement.... god help us, make F2A current
ReplyDeletewhat about eb category ?will they become current too after the reform..
ReplyDeletenothing for F2a

ReplyDeleteWait for few hours more the clear picture will come out....
ReplyDeleteGet ready for today's action.......
ReplyDeleteIm so ready, im so happy, and I'm positive that we f2a gonna be current for ever, there will be a great news for all cat incha allah.
ReplyDeletedo you think it good for f2A??
DeleteDon't have faith in Obama all he is doing for illegal nothing for legal immigrants f2a gonna have faster movement in coming visa bulletin I guess 2- 4 months
ReplyDeleteHow do You know about that
ReplyDeleteCan you explain me.....
I agree .. I don't know why I'm not too excited. Obama plans to mostly secure the undocumented people and talk abt border issues. If he had to authority to increase F visa and H visa all by himself then why even make it go thru house and senate for so long. He may add something but focus wil not be F and H, I think. Atleast that's whats on the news - undocumented 5 million people
ReplyDeleteWhat about F2B?
ReplyDeletenothing F2A,F2B
ReplyDeleteComing visa bulatin it's only 4 week movement. Nothing else for f2a
ReplyDeletehow did you know
DeleteI miss my wife sara waiting killing
ReplyDeletetoo many details dude
Deleteu think it good for f2a?
ReplyDelete30 minutes later, you can watch Obama immigration reform announcement from this link:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.whitehouse.gov/live/president-obama-delivers-address-nation
nothing for us
ReplyDeletewhat about legal people nothing ??/
ReplyDeleteTired of this waiting game.... So sad... Nothing for any family based categories
ReplyDeleteI wrote in my earlier message that focus is undocumented 5 millions people and border issues. It's been all over the news. He didn't say anything abt high skilled workers either. I think his mission is not really for F and H coz there is a system atleast even if it's crap. Plus these things don't change overnight. It will take a while even if he declares something. That's why its called the government and not private company. Sad but true. Haha

Provisional Waiver Expanded to Spouses of LPR. Provisional waiver from within the US is being expanded to include spouses of LPR (in addition to US citizens).
Deletewait! what it means?
Even though there is nothing in news for family based all these days,still i had a hope that this waiting game will be over soon..but unluckily no relief for us.we are still in dark.no one to talk for us.this is so cruel to be away from your spouse for such a long period.cant take this anymore.
ReplyDeleteguys. what do you think it means? THIS IS OFFICIAL, FROM WHITE HOUSE WEBSITE:
ReplyDeleteReducing family separation for those waiting to obtain LPR status. Due to barriers in our system, U.S. citizens and LPRs are often separated for years from their immediate relatives, while they wait to obtain their LPR status. To reduce the time these individuals are separated, DHS will expand an existing program that allows certain individuals to apply for a provisional waiver for certain violations before departing the United States to attend visa interviews.

It is good news for F2A, it will reduce the wait time for the Spouses of LPR
DeleteI think it is helpful for F2A, it may reduce the complete wait time for Husband and Wife of Legal Permanent Resident ( Green Card Holders )

Guys who are in USA F2A Applicants, please get the complete information about it which is mentioned above..., we are eagerly waiting to hear something good for us, so that we can join our families soon.....
DeleteI consulted with my lawyer Mr Carl Shusterman who told me this is the expansion of I-601 a for spouse and children of LPRs. It has nothing to do with F2A category
DeleteAnd he also told that executive action might faster the movement of F2a but only solution is this for making it current by passing a bill in congress
DeleteHear breaking for F2A applicants, illegal are most preferred than legal immigrants, unbelievable......
DeleteNothing to do with F2A category
ReplyDeletehttp://www.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/publications/14_1120_memo_i601a_waiver.pdf
F2A heart breaking.., this is not fair.. illegals are preferred.... great going....
ReplyDeleteEven a single thing is not done for the families with his executive action.... more than 11 millions undocumented illegals are going to get work permits..... speech less......
ReplyDeleteAll the F2A applicants now there is no any hope for us no any option, wait time for F2A is two years... we have to keep this in our mind and live our life.... today every one got hurt and frustration is killing them with this time....

The Immigration Accountability Executive Action (IAEA): Summary of Action Plan
ReplyDeleteWhat DID NOT Make it Into the Proposal
It is worth mentioning briefly which of the common points did not make it into the proposal. Parents of DACA holders are not included. Also, the proposal does not change the way the family derivative members are counted under the immigrant visa numbers. As a result, the current backlogged wait system will continue (subject to some relief from the points above).
Heart breaking for F2A.... now have to wait every month for the visa bulletin
ReplyDeleteTwo years husband and wife are separated, woooow great process... mind blowing
ReplyDeleteAll the F2A applicants now there is no any hope for us & no any option, wait time for F2A is two years... we have to keep this in our mind and live our life..
