Who ever gets approved in EB2 and EB3 these would have waited a decade for sure. And we would not even have ventured out to do all these calculations and predictions if it was not for these unclear and arbitrary movements.Quote:

All I can say is, focus on life, people you love, travel around, enjoy life and propser at your career. Remove the mental block of not having GC. You will surprised how well US workplace will treat you when you are confident.Quote:

Question
My spouse h1b extension was filed on 8/31 and has still not received receipt. Can he still work post 9/30 without receiving receipt ( driver's license will also be expiring 10/10)?
We will be asking attorney this week what they recommend or else have to convert to premium.
Thankyou

Please at least name one because I cannot find even one civil liberty that has gone and here you are talking in plural.
Well said. Not having GC does not prevent you from enjoying all the good things life has to offer. Don't watch every month's visa bulletin / every bill / every statement from politicos etc etc.Quote:

--Info on FY2021 FB to EB spillover
https://www.adhikarilaw.com/news-and...s-all-current/
" When American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) last spoke with Charlie Oppenheim of the U.S. State Department in July 2020, he anticipated that the infusion of unused family-based visa numbers could increase the FY21 employment-based allocation to at least 250,000 immigrant visas.Quote:

An employment-based allocation of 250,000 would reflect a 63% increase relative to the highest allocation in recent memory.
"
This looks like recycled old info from the law firm. Does not look like fresh news from AILA / Check-in. I am wondering why the official channels and AILA are silent.Quote:

I don't think legislation will be able to do it retroactively without harming others. So, each month adds about 10K of spillover from FB pool.Quote:
Moreover, movement in October may be more measured given that there have been some legislative efforts to recapture unused family-based visas for use by family-sponsored immigrants in FY21. At present, the likelihood of passing of any of these bills remains slim.
They seem to have a limited memory.Quote:

No! This is published by AILA on their website as a practice pointer! All law firms have access to this document #AILA Doc. No. 20091810 which was published on 09/18Quote:

This is a long shot, Spec. But, do you want to create a mini-tsunami by putting your predictions here for 250,000 visa numbers? (based on whatever data is available).Quote:

Does this mean that spillovers that go from EB to FB can come back next year?
For all practical purposes, the numbers that go from EB to FB are gone forever. The details are here:
