"The bill repeals the availability of immigrant visas for siblings of U.S. citizens once 18

months have elapsed since the date of enactment".

I think Repeal means Revoke.. So it will revoke all the petitions after 18 months of bill enactment.

IT MEANS THAT :-

Within eighteen months of the bill’s enactment, citizens may no longer petition for visas for their siblings....dnt wry m 100% sure..it will not effect us....

OK. I'm tired of seeing people using affirmative words to describe something that is currently completely unknown. " ... congress WILL pass the CIR in xxx..." " .... VB WILL move fast in xxx" "....

I DONT THINK YOUR CASE WILL BE ELIMINATED. FROM MAY 2005 THE MERIT BASE SYSTEM WILL BE IN EFFECT.

i want to understand the exact meaning for the 18 month and our cases???

TO ME IT MEANS THAT 18 MONTHS AFTER THE BILL IS PASSED NO MORE F4 APPLICATIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED.IT WILL BE ON A MERIT BASE SYSTEM.

Said by lawyers on this question

(We don't have the actual bill yet.

But, the summary implies that people who already have an approved I-130 will be able to complete the process .. just no new ones.)

( It appears that those in the pipeline can still get the green card so do not panic.)

No it will not effect your case because they will eliminate backlog till 2005 ,including year 2005.

IT MEANS THAT :-

Within eighteen months of the bill's enactment, citizens may no longer petition for visas for their siblings....dnt wry m 100% sure..it will not effect us....

As per 2007 act

Section 501. Rebalancing of Immigrant Visa Allocation. Family worldwide ceiling: Sets worldwide ceiling on family-based visas at 567K until pre-May 2005 backlogs have been eliminated. Once backlog eliminated, worldwide ceiling drops to 127K.

Section 503. Reducing Chain Migration.

Eliminates family preference categories 1, 2B, 3, and 4.

Redefines immediate relatives to exclude parents of U.S. citizens.

Creates a new preference category for parents of USCs and creates an annual ceiling of 40K.

Maintains 2A category at current approximate annual ceiling of 87,000

Sets aside 440K visas to reduce pre-May 2005 family backlogs in the 1, 2B, 3, and 4 categories.

Section 508. Increasing Per-Country Limits for Family-Based and Employment-Based Immigrants. Increases per-country limits on remaining family categories and on merit-based categories to 10%.

**************************************************************

As we do not have the complete 2013 Bill details...I am of the opinion that they might retain the same...:unsure:

Good Luck ..:thumbs:

Straight forward Answer to all my friends !

I am defining the bill , after what I have read......

They will clear the backlog of all family based petitions including F3 and F4 Pre May-2005...

Family Visa will be avaible for all categories till after 18 months of enactment.

It means they will clear the backlog of petitions filled before May 2005 within 18 months after enactment.

Petitions after May 2005 , they still qualify for greencard , but than they will have to get their visa through merit based system.

4 points for brothers and sisters of US citizen.
