What does the American immigration schedule mean?

1. What do you think about the time schedule of relative migration?

Every month, there will be a time (year, month, day) in the relative immigration schedule. What does this time mean? For example, taking the schedule of American relative immigration in February 20 10 as an example, the fourth priority is F4:1999115 (American brothers and sisters), that is, 199 1. If an American citizen applies for F4 relative immigration (I- 130) for his relatives on or before 10/4 (his scheduled date), then starting from 20 1 0 February/0/day, this person.

Of course, our timetable is for beneficiary applicants born in Chinese mainland. What does it mean that your immigration schedule has arrived? In other words, applicants who have reached the timetable should be prepared to receive the notice related to the visa interview within one or two months. F4 timetable has arrived.

Get a visa and you can go to America. So the schedule is up, and it will take some time.

2. What do you think of the timing of professional immigration?

? What is the difference between "U" (unavailable) and "MM/DD/YY" (quota backlog) appearing in different categories of the immigration schedule? Unavailability means that there are no vacancies that month. If it is a specific date, such as 07-0 1-02, it means that the schedule is retrogressive, and only those applicants whose priority date is before this date can apply for a green card. For example, if the date on the immigration calendar is 6- 1-02 and the applicant's priority date is 6- 1-02, the applicant's priority date is not considered as current. The priority date must be earlier than the date published in the attached table, that is, the date proposed on or before May 31-02. What is the meaning of "C" in the immigration form? "C" is the current meaning, that is, there is no retrogression in this category. If it is currently on the schedule of professional immigration, then the application can continue to apply for I-485 or obtain immigration quota.

How often will the immigration schedule be updated and how will it change?

Every month, the State Council publishes the latest immigration schedule, usually in the middle of the month. The effective date of the newly announced immigration schedule is 1 day next month (for example, the effective date of the immigration schedule announced by the State Council on September 9th is 10- 15). According to the use of immigration quota, the priority date of different types of professional immigrants in different countries may change differently every month. However, please note that the priority date may remain the same, or it may just move slowly for a few months or even a year, and it is more likely to retreat. There is basically no way to predict when the priority date of the immigration schedule will become the current date.

The current timetable is 20 10, which means it will take five years to become the present one? That's not true. The timing depends on how many green card places are used. For details, please see the answer to question 3 above. If the applicant has an approved I- 140 in his former employer A, and the applicant's current employer B is also helping him to apply for a green card, can the applicant use the priority date when applying for a green card in his former employer A? Applicants can use the previously approved priority date I- 140. The priority date will be printed on the approval form I-797 of I- 140.

If the applicant's previous green card application I- 140 supported by employer A has been approved, and then the applicant changes jobs and the new employer B applies for a green card again, the green card applied by employer B can be adjusted according to the priority date on I- 140 originally applied by employer A, that is, I-485. Immigration is arranged by the state. Does the country here refer to nationality or country of birth? Immigrants queue up according to "country of birth" to decide whether their status can be adjusted.

If the country of birth of the spouse is different from that of the main applicant, will it help the main applicant if the country of birth of the spouse is scheduled faster? The country of birth of the spouse can also be used to decide whether to apply for a change of identity (I-485).

For example, the principal applicant was born in China, but the spouse's country of birth is France, and the person born in China now has an appointment, but the person born in France has no appointment, so both the principal applicant and the spouse can apply for I-485 according to the appointment of the spouse's country of birth.
