In any ways if its happens in FB also, v will be more then happy

That's not what he said at all. The change would also be applicable to FB categories, but even with the change, the yearly quotas would still be exceeded, thus the need for cut-off dates would still remain. The PDs would move forward significantly though.

First: The U.S. now issues 140,000 employment-based permanent visas or green cards each year, half of which go to dependents. The Senate bill exempts dependents from the cap, effectively doubling the number of green cards available to principals.

The idea of only counting principals and not dependents, including children, against the cap extends to family permanent residency as well. That provides an opportunity to create brokad-based support for principals-only reform.

A draft letter from several groups to the president calls for the elimination, or at least a reduction, in the "egregious backlogs for legal immigration by counting only principals against the limits set by the Immigration Act of 1990."

Don't you guys think this is a good thing?

No data as such but if you see the Number of Visa processed ...on an Avrage one family has minimum 3 visas including dependents....

Out of which 2 will be dependent and 1 will be Principal Appicant.

IF going forward if only 1 will be counted then 1 month movement will increase 3 months minimum....

Obama Weighs Broader Move on Legal Immigration

"The president has not made a decision regarding next steps, but he believes it's important to understand and consider the full range of perspectives on potential solutions," said White House spokesman Shawn Turner.

One of the more popular requests among business and family groups is a change in the way green cards are counted that would essentially free up some 800,000 additional visas the first year, advocates say.

The result would be threefold: It would lessen the visa bottleneck for business seeking global talent; shorten the green card line for those being sponsored by relatives, a wait that can stretch nearly 25 years; and potentially reduce the incentive for illegal immigration by creating more legal avenues for those wanting to come, as well as those already here.

Friends need some clarity on these points:

1. Can a petitioner give one AOS FORM for TWO Principal Applicants ?

2. After D261 FOMR what will be the apx. time gap before we receive D260?

3 . Can a School Certificate act as Secondary Evidence along with 'Not found Certificate' from Municipal Corporation in case DOB was not registered in India ?

GREEN CARD BACKLOG COULD SHORTEN WITH OBAMA’S EXECUTIVE ORDER

By Balitang America Staff, ABS-CBN North America Bureau

Aug. 21, 2014

REWOOD CITY, Calif. – Could President Barack Obama’s executive orders on immigration actually shorten the backlog in family-based petitions that has affected so many of our kababayans?

That may be the case if the president listens to labor and family groups’ recommendations.

White House officials say Obama is considering major changes in America’s immigration system after meeting with various groups.

Obama’s executive orders could include sparing undocumented immigrants from deportation while also helping documented ones get their visas easier and faster.

Supporters say this could discourage illegal immigration because the government is providing more visa options for immigrants.

Among the requests from labor and family groups are:

• Free-up about 800,000 visas the first year
• Lessen limitations for businesses trying to hire foreign workers
• Shorten decades of backlog for green cards

Immigration lawyer Atty. Lou Tancinco told Balitang America that if such an executive order is issued by the president, the Filipino community would stand to gain from it.

“If this is going to happen there will be shorter waiting times for thousands of Filipinos who are waiting to be reunited with their families,” Tancinco said. “Right now the backlog ranges from 20 to 25, or 15 years, for those who are single adult children. If this is going to happen the waiting times may be cut maybe up to half of that, maybe just 10 years or seven years.”

She added: “For F2A petitions, if there has to be some changes, it might even become current.”
