Mr.Oppenheim (Chief of Immigrant Visa Control and Reporting Division atDOS) 对China received a lower-than-optimal EB-3 allocation给出的解释是:
1) He was moving dates based on an expectation of full-year availability of EB-3 visas.
2) USCIS processed previously undisclosed cases from all around the world that were very early compared to the cut-off dates.
3) The sources of the undisclosed cases was old, pre-PERM labor certification backlog cases and name check backlog cases.
4) The USCIS approvals exhausted the EB-3 numbers in April 2008, andMarch 2009, respectively, leaving his schedule off by 5 or 6 monthswithout the ability to correct the problem.
让我们回顾一下ROW的剩余名额是怎么由纵向改为横向流动的政策改变过程,“until the FY2007, USCIS used togive unused VISA numbers to EB-3, after the July-Aug 2007 fiascostakeholders with some strong lobbying from EB-2 groups threaten to sueDOL and USCIS if they don’t interpret the law for spillover, and underpressure from this law suite USCIS changed the interpretation andstarted horizontal spillover versus Vertical spillover. Language usedin the spillover interpretation is very confusing and in legal termssomewhat favorable to EB-2category.”,从中我们得到什么启示?那就是准备革命的两手来和DOS沟通和抗争,合力改变我们EB3的被动局面。
