one thing is for sure, the more and sooner people become citizens the more applicants from F2b will spill over to F1, hence longer waitig time for F1's.

That wont harm 2006 and 2007 applicants in that way.

by the way, bigger picture will be changed after 2 years, there are very positive chances to increase waiting times in F1 and F2B will reduce by a year or two.

Spillover means unused numbers by precedence category to the following one, in that F2B will get a good chance to enjoy the spillover whereas F1 gt this opportunity when there are unused numbers left behind by F4 of previous year.

F2A is going at a good pace, look at mexican date which shares with the rest of the world too, therefore DOS managed to set all of them at one place withing the given budget for each year.

I am getting a strong feeling that F2B will cross the F1 in long run, i have analyzed the pattern of data of last decade where F2B is always far away from F2A by 4 years gap. If F2A keeps to manage 1 year time frame then its for sure that f2b will fall down to 6 years time frame.

Anyways, back to the topic F2b conversions doesnt affect F1 right now, its not possible. Still stand for this then kindly explain it with reasonable answer which must be digestive rather than a vague idea or assumption.

good luck to all :thumbs:

Guys just to share some info regarding Mitt Romney's Immigration Plan which he recently outlined:

A National Immigration Strategy

As president, Mitt Romney will implement a national immigration strategy to address our nation’s broken immigration system. He will reach across the aisle and work with Congress to forge lasting solutions.

Grow Our Economy By Growing Legal Immigration

The United States is currently excluding too many workers who will start businesses, create jobs, foster innovation, and help grow our economy.

Attract More Highly Skilled Immigrants:

· High-skill immigrants start companies, create jobs, and drive innovation at an especially high rate. The United States is also projected to face a shortage of 230,000 science and technology workers by 2018. At the same time, we have set the caps on high-skill visas so low that, for some countries, an entire year’s quota has been filled in an hour. Mitt Romney will ask Congress to raise the caps on visas for highly skilled immigrants.

· Many country caps—or limits on immigrants from specific countries—are so low, that America is losing some of the best and brightest to our international competitors. Mitt Romney will work with Congress to raise the country caps.

· America should keep the best and the brightest here in the United States. Every foreign student who obtains an advanced degree in math, science, or engineering at a U.S. university should be granted permanent residency.

Make The Temporary Worker Visa System Functional:

Too often, harvest or tourist season passes before temporary worker visas are approved. In 2006 and 2007, nearly half (43%) of all applications for temporary agricultural workers were not processed on time.

· As president, Mitt Romney will make the system for bringing in temporary agricultural workers and other seasonal workers functional for both employers and immigrants. We should get rid of unnecessary requirements that delay issuance of a visa, and we should speed the processing of applications.

· Mitt Romney will work with Congress, states, and employers to properly set the cap on non-agricultural temporary worker visas. Many tourist-oriented businesses in the United States rely on these workers and would have to cut back or cease operations if there are not enough visas.

Secure Our Borders & Discourage Illegal Immigration

According to the non-partisan Government Accountability Office, Border Patrol lacks control of over half of our southwest border. And some estimates indicate that over 40% of illegal immigrants in America entered the country legally, but then overstayed their visas.

· Mitt Romney will complete a high-tech fence to enhance border security.

· Mitt Romney will ensure that we have the officers on the ground we need to gain control of the border.

· A Romney Administration will work to develop an efficient, effective system of exit verification to ensure people do not overstay their visas.

· Mitt Romney will develop an effective, mandatory employment verification system that will enable employers to be sure that those they hire are eligible to work. This will discourage illegal immigrants from coming to America to seek jobs.

· Mitt Romney will foster a legal immigration system that works. This will offer an alternative to those who would otherwise enter illegally. For instance, reforming our current temporary worker program will offer employers who need such staff a legal option to find employees.

Cut Red Tape That Is Keeping Immediate Families Apart

Currently, legal immigrants in America often have to wait years to be with husbands, wives, and minor children. As president, Mitt Romney will ensure that husbands, wives, and their minor children are brought together on a timely basis.

· Mitt Romney will speed the processing of applications by eliminating the red tape that is keeping immediate families apart.

· Mitt Romney will work with Congress to give legal permanent residents the same priority as citizens when applying to bring husbands, wives, and minor children to the United States.

· Mitt Romney will reallocate green cards to family of citizens and legal permanent residents.

Military Service

Mitt Romney believes that young illegal immigrants who were brought to the United States as children should have the chance to become permanent residents, and eventually citizens, by serving honorably in the United States military.

Well...no space for Sons & Daughters of US Citizens a swell as F2B Applicants.....

No Dude it can only affect when Mitt Romney becomes President and then he passes the bill and when the Bill comes in effect. This has nuthin to do with Visa Bulletin for next Fiscal ( Year 2013) so dont worry abt that, Just now to see how much our category moves.

Man, I need my green card like immediately. I'm really tired of waiting, dammit. Does anyone else feel as though their life is being put on hold? Sorry for ranting, but I know this is the only place where other people would understand what I mean. Not only am I separated from my mother for 6 years now, I feel so trapped living life in a month-by-month cycle of "what's going to happen this month? Will it be closer? Yes? No?" I'm frustrated with the fact that although I know it's inevitable that a date will come, I want to make plans for what I will do in life (as a career, for example) while there and yet since I don't know when that date is, I can't even make any real plans about anything. I have to pretend as though I'm not migrating even though I will be. At least it's fortunate that I can travel there on my tourist visa for now, but it's such a tease. It's like someone dangling something in front of your face but telling you you can't have it now. But 6 years is a long damn time! I'm effing ready. GRRR!!!
