Sub: Employment-based category being treated unfairly from October
2010 to March 2011
Dear Congressman:
I am writing to voice my strong concern about the unlawful discrimination by
DOS in handling the
employment-based green card visa use.
The United States Immigration Law INA: ACT 201 - WORLDWIDE LEVEL OF
IMMIGRATION Sec. 201. [8 U.S.C. 1151] has a strict 27% limitation of annual
quota for both employment-based (EB) and family-sponsored (FB) green card
visa use. However, based on the data recently released by the USCIS, we find
that the visa used in the first two quarters of 2011 for FB surpasses the
27% limitation while the visa used for EB in the same period is
significantly below 27% limitation. We think this discriminatory treatment
between EB and FM is against the law. Therefore, we urge your
immediate attention and action on this matter.
Below is the relevant law for your reference (here is the link: http://www.uscis.gov/ilink/docView/SLB/HTML/SLB/0-0-0-1/0-0-0-29/0-0-0-914.html)
(1) family-sponsored immigrants described in section 203(a) (or who are
admitted under section 211(a) on the basis of a prior issuance of a visa to
their accompanying parent under section 203(a)) in a number not to exceed in
any fiscal year the number specified in subsection (c) for that year, and
not to exceed in any of the first 3 quarters of any fiscal year 27 percent
of the worldwide level under such subsection for all of such fiscal year;
(2) employment-based immigrants described in section 203(b) (or who are
admitted under section 211(a) on the basis of a prior issuance of a visa to
their accompanying parent under section 203(b) ), in a number not to exceed
in any fiscal year the number specified in subsection (d) for that year, and
not to exceed in any of the first 3 quarters of any fiscal year 27 percent
of the worldwide level under such subsection for all of such fiscal year;
and
Below is the visa number used in the first three quarters of fiscal year
2011 based on the USCIS public data.
EB or Employment Based:
Q1: total visa usage 24,040, only 17% of annual quota.
Q2: total visa usage 21,944, only 15% of annual quota.
Q3: total visa usage 36,128, only 25% of annual quota.
FB or Family Based:
Q1: total visa usage 62,955, 27.9% of annual quota
Q2: total visa usage 69,730, 30.9% of annual quota
Q3: total visa usage 67,480, 29.9% of annual quota
It is clear that the DOS visa office has treated employment based green card
application in a unfair and discriminatory way. Even the visa numbers
consumed by consular processing (CP) is added into the above calculations,
the quarter visa allocation for EB remains much below the 27% limination in
the first two quarters.
Again, we require your immediate attention and action on this matter. It is
required by the law that DOS officials allocate sufficient visa numbers in
each quarter. Currently there is a massive backlog in the second and third
categories of employment based green card applications. If DOS follows the
law and allocates 27% of the annual quota in the first three quarters, it
will play a significantly positive role in alleviating the backlog.
Thank you. We look forward to hearing from you.
sincerely, | s***r

发帖数: 1121 | 10 Is there sth wrong in the letter in terms of EB or FB? If yes, please point
them out.
If there is no errors in the letter in terms of EB or FB and you are just
commenting my knowledge on EB/FB, it is fine. I indeed knew a little about
EB/FB. That is why I always ask CNUS/JWE and other experts to help me draft.
If you are an expert, feel free to provide suggestions. Thanks.
By the way, I do have an EB2 PD, but now I am planning my EB1-B.

发帖数: 513 | 11 hi buddy,about your letter, i just wanted to spray some cold water....
indeed, EB and FB are different, they are different at various points such
as demand,composition of the countries that are oversubscribed, and the
limitation to each of their categories. in short and most important, FB are
relating us citizens, can you tell me something about EB?
everyone is equal in front of laws. the problem is, how the word "everyone"
is defined.
glad to know that you are applying for eb-1, you should have done this
earlier if you are qualified. good luck. | s***r
发帖数: 1121 | 12 Good. So the letter is technically correct.
For your other comments, I have no comments at all, as people always have
different opinions on whether EB2/3 should fight. I just wanted to help
revise the letter. | M*******t
发帖数: 513 | 13 there are lots of letters that you or me or my buddies here think
technically correct.....
the thing is who reads them...
the reader of this letter is not me, or you, or any of us here on this bbs...
i have nothing more to tell you, my buddy. i, myself, do want to fight, or .
.. fxxk.
it is not to do things like that.
i am kind of miss p838, of course not his sometimes arrogance, but his
strategy of fighting with o/do-s/...
keep reading and thinking about immig-laws, buddy, the more you know about
them, the better you'd understand what i was talking about.
if you do not want my bless, i take it back.
bye, my buddy...

it's not about speaking loud, it's about who speaks.
some years later, after you got your GC, after you become a citizen, do
remember speaking for your future buddies....
speak

发帖数: 513 | 17 do not be panic, listen to NIU...
NIU is always pushing for disclosing actual visa approvals in each quarter,
even in each month, in each category. without this information, anything you
do could be in vain.
for EB2, early submission of 485 (not making it "current", but step by step)
(even without ead/ap) is very urgent now.
think about it, with enormous demand presenting, PD must advance,...
problems must get resolved....

发帖数: 7404 | 18 my point is, no matter who you are, speak loud when you feel your rights are
violated.
even illegal immigrants dare to speak loud. why we are so scared or worried
who should speak?
on the other hand, niu please keep those who already got gc. if there's no
community leader speaking for us, we organize ourselves.
