ALL F4s

[Visa Grant 78]

...Huh? I think you read my post wrong; I never said that. In early FY2011, PD for F4 was Jan 1st, 2002 until 2-year retrogression kicked in on February. Look at this table: http://www.travel.state.gov/pdf/Cut-off_Dates_worldwide_online.pdf

No...

....i was continuing my thoughts from my previous post on the Life Act spillovers upto April 30th 2002 and may be if the VB is past April 2002, then we can see a good movement later on for F4 category..

Good Luck..

You're giving the LIFE Act beneficiaries an year to apply for AOS? I thought that only mattered for derivative beneficiaries. As far as I know, principal beneficiaries do not have a time limit for AOS.

Besides, F4 had 5 months of pas-LIFE Act PD in FY2010-2011 and 6 months this FY. I don't know what the policy exactly is over retrogression, but I'd hope that LIFE Act stock is mostly cleared by now, if not entirely.

New fiscal year (FY) for US government starts on October 1st of every year and ends on September 30th.

For example: FY 2014 (October 1st of 2013 - September 30th of 2014); numerical year for FY is the year it ends with.

New FY means "refreshed" quota. There's no guarantee that the PD movement will surge from its beginning, nor that it'll stall or retrogress. It's really up in the air (ex. Retrogression of FY2011 occurred on February, not October).

some more details of House CIR bill :-

Last week, a House aide leaked more details on the House Gang of Seven's bill to legalize the 12 million illegal aliens in the country. According to the aide, illegal aliens will have three different paths to "earn" citizenship.

The first two categories of amnesty are for illegal aliens married to U.S. citizens and those with employers willing to sponsor them for green cards. Specifically, the House plan would waive federal law, which normally requires illegal aliens to depart the U.S. for three or 10 years depending on how long they have been in the country unlawfully, before they can apply for a visa to return legally. (Immigration and Nationality Act 212(a)(9)(B); CQ Today, July 16, 2013) By waiving this three and 10 year bar to admission, the Gang of Seven's maneuver allows eligible illegal aliens to utilize the family-based and employment-based green card process currently available to aliens looking to enter the country legally. (Id.)

If illegal aliens do not have family or employer sponsors, the House plan allows them to utilize a 15 year path for citizenship. The House plan grants illegal aliens "probationary" status which means immediate legalization and work authorization, similar to the Senate bill. (Washington Post, July 17, 2013) The probationary period lasts five years and requires illegal aliens to admit they broke U.S. immigration laws. (Id.)

The main difference between this plan and the Senate bill is that amnestied illegal aliens will supposedly lose their "probation" status — and revert to illegal status — if the electronic employee verification program known as E-Verify is not "fully operational" by the end of this five year period. (Id.) It is unclear who determines whether E-Verify is "fully operational." (Id.)

If the E-Verify trigger is met, amnestied illegal aliens enter a five year "temporary legal phase." (Id.) At the end of this phase, they would be eligible for a green card, and five years later, citizenship. (Id.) According to a Democratic aide, the Gang of Seven's bill "could be a starting point for coalescing Democrats and Republicans around moving forward" on passing amnesty. (CQ Today, July 16, 2013)

Additionally, the aide suggested the Gang was working on a path to citizenship for nonimmigrants that would not require family or employer sponsorship as required under current law. Rather, according to the aide, temporary aliens/nonimmigrants (most of which are required by law to have the intent to return to their home country upon applying) could also obtain citizenship through the 15 year process. (Id.)

Despite repeated claims that the Gang of Seven has reached an agreement, multiple sources told inside-the-beltway publication Politico that the bill will not be introduced until after the August recess. (Politico, July 17, 2013) Based on the article, the bipartisan group has yet to reach an agreement on whether amnestied illegal aliens must pay back taxes. (Id.) And, according to other sources, the group is still "haggling" over the border provisions because there are no border triggers in the bill's current form. (Washington Post, July 17, 2013) Gang Rep. John Carter (R-TX) reportedly wants additional helicopters as part of the border security measures. (Id.)
