03/23/2015: State Deparment Visa Bulletin Modernization for Obama Immigration Actions Means What?
According to the information, it means that the Visa Bureau allocates visa numbers "without delays" and not waiting and seeing towards the end of the quarters and years, and they have already started the process.

Latest USCIS Visa Bulletin Predictions
All Categories: Due to executive action signed by US President Obama, DOS is likely to move dates earlier in the year, instead of waiting till the last quarter of fiscal year; since at that time they can get a more accurate view of demand across all categories and hence can more accurately calculate expected spillovers across EB/FB categories.

How A New Interpretation of INA §203(d) Can Remove Immigrant Visa Backlogs

Aug 26, 2014



The U.S. immigration system puts a limit on the number of immigrant visas (i.e. green card) that can be granted to aliens in a given year. The annual numerical limits for the employment-based preference categories and the family-based preference categories are 140,000 and 226,000, respectively. Within each category, the numerical limits are further divided into per-country quota.As of the time of writing this article, if one were to file a labor certification under the India employment-based, EB-3 category, it will take over 10 years for the Beneficiary’s priority date to become current. Even worse, the married sons or daughters born in Mexico to U.S. citizens have to wait more than 20 years in order for their priority dates to become current. INA § 203(d) specifies who will be counted against the annual numerical limits, and a new interpretation of INA § 203(d) may eliminate all backlogs in the employment-based preference categories and make them “current”. The new interpretation may also significantly accelerate the cut-offs in the family-based preference categories.



INA § 203(d),provides:



A spouse or child defined in subparagraphs (A), (B), ©, (D), or (E) of section 1101(b) of this title shall, if not otherwise entitled to an immigrant status and the immediate issuance of a visa under subsection (a), (b), or © of this section, be entitled to the same status, and the same order of consideration provided in the respective subsection, if accompanying or following to join, the spouse or parent.


The above regulation does not explicitly authorize or prohibit the Department of State to count derivative family members against the annual limits under the employment- or family-based preference categories. However, the Department of State has always interpreted the annual limits to include not only the principal Beneficiary, but also the spouse and children of the principal Beneficiary. The result of this interpretation is that many Beneficiaries in either category will have to wait years or even decades for their green cards. Even worse, many young people who were initially eligible for the green cards as derivative Beneficiaries are “aged out” by the time their priority dates become current, and therefore require a new basis for their own green card petitions, which may lead to additional wait time.



To address these concerns, President Obama is considering a new but equally plausible interpretation of INA § 203(d), which would count only the principal Beneficiaries of immigrant visa petitions toward the annual numerical limits. This interpretation, if implemented as a policy, would eliminate backlogs in the employment-based preference categories, whereby all categories in the employment-based preference systems would remain current for the foreseeable future. In the case of family-based preference categories, the new interpretation of INA § 203(d) would accelerate the cutoffs but the backlog would still persist.

In addition, a State Department immigrant visa program involving technology jobs would offer another half-million immigrants a path to citizenship, according to Fox. Spouses also would be helped by the program.


It means that if they are doing changes in employment category then this is for sure that they will also have provision for family based category as well............so guys stay tune

05/03/2014: Something to Watch Carefully in the Upcoming Release of June Visa Bulletin - Potential Regression of FB-2A and EB-3
AILA's meeting with the State Department Visa Bureau indicated that there is a potential regression of FB-2A (spouses and children of LPR) and EB-3 (skilled workers) categories in May or June. Potential regression of F-2A may be caused by recent speedy processing and adjudcation of immigrant visas for the immediate family members of permanent residents, causing high demand for the visa numbers for this category. It is thus critically important that those whose FB-2A and EB-3 visa numbers are currently available in May should make it sure that they file I-485 applications before the end of May. The June Visa Bulletin is expected to be released early next week and we will be able to see the actual situation soon. Please stay tuned.
