ALL F4s

[Visa Grant 78]

Recapture unused visas from 1992 to 2013; effective first FY from the date when this bill becomes law............

For fiscal year 2012 (which ended on September 2012), only 208,000 visas were allotted to family based visa petitions; instead of 226,000. This means about 18,000 visas were unused in the family based category......

According to law, any unused visas from family category will flow to employment based category. This means EB category will be getting an additional 18,000 visas in fiscal year 2013 (October 2012 to September 2013)..

To be precise, FB category was allotted 207,535 visas (instead of 226,000 visas). This means 18,465 extra visas SHOULD be available. However, the demand data states that only 18,000 extra visas WOULD be available. This means, as you guessed by now, 465 visas would be "wasted". Also DOS is working to have zero unused visas in FB category by moving dates faster in FB category (so that they would use up the quota faster).

Many of our readers are wondering why there are so many unused visas left from FB category; especially when there is a huge backlog of over 20 years in some FB categories. It is probably due to miscommunication and/or inaccurate/old numbers passed between various groups involved which is leading to waste of so many visas..

These visas are truly wasted. There were many bills introduced in last few years to recapture these unused visas, but none of them passed Congress. Two examples are: H.R. 3119 and H.R. 3012. Charles Oppenheim (DOS Chief) is doing his best to prevent these wastes in both categories.

Since F4 category has fixed quotas, it would continue to move at same pace in the upcoming bulletins. It would move faster if

(a) the visa filing demand decreased from 2001 onwards or

(b) Number of visas allocated for F4s suddenly increase

Good Luck..

The article might have been released late due to the following statement...Hearings on the bill will begin on April 19, and the legislation could be marked up as early as May...............But the important one is ...by mid june, the CIR might become a law..
