취업이민
- 변화없음
- 그 동안 별도 범주였던
취업이민 스케쥴 A 범주(간호사 및 물리치료사)가 2006년 10월 정도에 모두 소진될 예정.
- 스케쥴 A 범주는 간호사 및
물리치료사를 위해 사용하지 않은 비자 개수를 사용하도록 총 5만개를 할당해 놓고 사용한 시한부 비자 범주였음.
- 따라서, 스케쥴 A 범주가
종료될 경우, 현행 이민국적법에 따르며, 이들은 취업이민 3순위 숙련직 범주의 비자를 사용하게 될 것임.
D.
가족 및 취업이민 컷-오프 일자의 후퇴
8월의 경우, 가족이민 및
취업이민 비자 범주들에서 다수의 컷-오프 일자들을 후퇴시키는 것이 필연적입니다. 이것은 영향을 받고 있는 범주들에 대해 적용 가능한
연간수치한도 이내에서 발급수준을 유지시키기 위한 노력의 일환입니다. 이러한 후퇴는 다음과 같습니다.
세계: 가족이민
1순위(01JAN97)
중국: 가족이민
4순위(01JUL94)
인도: 취업이민 2순위(소진);
취업이민 3순위(01APR01)
멕시코: 가족이민
3순위(01JAN81) 및 가족이민 4순위(01JAN93)
필리핀: 가족이민
2B순위(01DEC92) 및 가족이민 3순위(01DEC85)
E.
9월호 이민비자의 가용성
이민비자개수의 이용은 다수의
범주들에거 연간한도에 도달될 것이며, 남은 할당개수의 공급은 제한적입니다. 따라서, 9월의 경우 8월에 경험한 바와 같이 추가적인 컷-오프
일자들의 후퇴 가능성이 증가됩니다. 독자들께서는 컷-오프 일자가 공지될 때까지는 비자 가용성을 추정하지 말아야 합니다. 후퇴를 경험할 수
있는 범주들은 다음과 같습니다:
세계: 취업이민
4순위 중국: 취업이민 2순위 및 3순위
인도: 취업이민
1순위
멕시코: 취업이민
3순위
F.
2007 회계연도 간호사/물리치료사(SCHEDULE A) 비자 가용성
총 5만개의 개수가 지난 5월
설정된 스케쥴 A(EX) 비자 범주에서 이용하도록 제공되었습니다. 이 범주에 대한 비자 수요는 한도에 접근하고 있으며, 빠르면 10월에
컷-오프 일자의 설정이 필요할 수 있습니다. 현 한도하에서, 총 5만개의 수치가 활용가능하며, 이 범주의 처리는 종료될
것입니다.

Visa
Bulletin
Number 95 Volume VIII Washington, D.C.
VISA BULLETIN FOR
AUGUST 2006
IMMIGRANT
NUMBERS FOR AUGUST 2006
A.
STATUTORY NUMBERS
1. This bulletin
summarizes the availability of immigrant numbers during August. Consular
officers are required to report to the Department of State documentarily
qualified applicants for numerically limited visas; the Bureau of Citizenship
and Immigration Services in the Department of Homeland Security reports
applicants for adjustment of status. Allocations were made, to the extent
possible under the numerical limitations, for the demand received by July 10th
in the chronological order of the reported priority dates. If the demand could
not be satisfied within the statutory or regulatory limits, the category or
foreign state in which demand was excessive was deemed oversubscribed. The
cut-off date for an oversubscribed category is the priority date of the first
applicant who could not be reached within the numerical limits. Only applicants
who have a priority date earlier than the cut-off date may be allotted a number.
Immediately that it becomes necessary during the monthly allocation process to
retrogress a cut-off date, supplemental requests for numbers will be honored
only if the priority date falls within the new cut-off date.
2. The fiscal year
2006 limit for Family-sponsored preference immigrants determined in accordance
with Section 201 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) is 226,000. The
fiscal year 2006 limit for Employment-based preference immigrants calculated
under INA 201 is 143,949. Section 202 prescribes that the per-country limit for
preference immigrants is set at 7% of the total annual family-sponsored and
employment-based preference limits, i.e., 25,896 for FY-2006. The dependent
area limit is set at 2%, or 7,399.
3. Section 203 of
the INA prescribes preference classes for allotment of immigrant visas as
follows:
FAMILY-SPONSORED
PREFERENCES
First: Unmarried
Sons and Daughters of Citizens: 23,400 plus any numbers not required for fourth
preference.
Second: Spouses
and Children, and Unmarried Sons and Daughters of Permanent Residents: 114,200,
plus the number (if any) by which the worldwide family preference level exceeds
226,000, and any unused first preference numbers:
A. Spouses and
Children: 77% of the overall second preference limitation, of which 75% are
exempt from the per-country limit;
B. Unmarried Sons
and Daughters (21 years of age or older): 23% of the overall second preference
limitation.
Third: Married
Sons and Daughters of Citizens: 23,400, plus any numbers not required by first
and second preferences.
Fourth: Brothers
and Sisters of Adult Citizens: 65,000, plus any numbers not required by first
three preferences.
EMPLOYMENT-BASED
PREFERENCES
First: Priority
Workers: 28.6% of the worldwide employment-based preference level, plus any
numbers not required for fourth and fifth preferences.
Second: Members of
the Professions Holding Advanced Degrees or Persons of Exceptional Ability:
28.6% of the worldwide employment-based preference level, plus any numbers
not required by first preference.
Third: Skilled
Workers, Professionals, and Other Workers: 28.6% of the worldwide level, plus
any numbers not required by first and second preferences, not more than
10,000 of which to "Other Workers".
Schedule A
Workers: Employment First, Second, and Third preference Schedule A applicants
are entitled to up to 50,000 “recaptured” numbers.
Fourth: Certain
Special Immigrants: 7.1% of the worldwide level.
Fifth: Employment
Creation: 7.1% of the worldwide level, not less than 3,000 of which reserved for
investors in a targeted rural or high-unemployment area, and 3,000 set aside for
investors in regional centers by Sec. 610 of P.L. 102-395.
4. INA Section
203(e) provides that family-sponsored and employment-based preference visas be
issued to eligible immigrants in the order in which a petition in behalf of each
has been filed. Section 203(d) provides that spouses and children of preference
immigrants are entitled to the same status, and the same order of consideration,
if accompanying or following to join the principal. The visa prorating
provisions of Section 202(e) apply to allocations for a foreign state or
dependent area when visa demand exceeds the per-country limit. These provisions
apply at present to the following oversubscribed chargeability areas:
CHINA-mainland born, INDIA, MEXICO, and PHILIPPINES.
5. On the chart
below, the listing of a date for any class indicates that the class is
oversubscribed (see paragraph 1); "C" means current, i.e., numbers are available
for all qualified applicants; and "U" means unavailable, i.e., no numbers are
available. (NOTE: Numbers are available only for applicants whose priority date
is earlier than the cut-off date listed below.)

The Department of
State has available a recorded message with visa availability information which
can be heard at: (area code 202) 663-1541. This recording will be updated in the
middle of each month with information on cut-off dates for the following
month.
Employment Third
Preference Other Workers Category: Section 203(e) of the NACARA, as amended by
Section 1(e) of Pub. L. 105-139, provides that once the Employment Third
Preference Other Worker (EW) cut-off date has reached the priority date of the
latest EW petition approved prior to November 19, 1997, the 10,000 EW numbers
available for a fiscal year are to be reduced by up to 5,000 annually beginning
in the following fiscal year. This reduction is to be made for as long as
necessary to offset adjustments under the NACARA program. Since the EW cut-off
date reached November 19, 1997 during Fiscal Year 2001, the reduction in the EW
annual limit to 5,000 began in Fiscal Year 2002.
B.
DIVERSITY IMMIGRANT (DV) CATEGORY
Section 203(c) of
the Immigration and Nationality Act provides a maximum of up to 55,000 immigrant
visas each fiscal year to permit immigration opportunities for persons from
countries other than the principal sources of current immigration to the United
States. The Nicaraguan and Central American Relief Act (NACARA) passed by
Congress in November 1997 stipulates that beginning with DV-99, and for as long
as necessary, up to 5,000 of the 55,000 annually-allocated diversity visas will
be made available for use under the NACARA program. This reduction has resulted
in the DV-2006 annual limit being reduced to 50,000. DV visas are divided among
six geographic regions. No one country can receive more than seven percent of
the available diversity visas in any one year.
For August,
immigrant numbers in the DV category are available to qualified DV-2006
applicants chargeable to all regions/eligible countries as follows. When an
allocation cut-off number is shown, visas are available only for applicants with
DV regional lottery rank numbers BELOW the specified allocation cut-off
number:

Entitlement to
immigrant status in the DV category lasts only through the end of the fiscal
(visa) year for which the applicant is selected in the lottery. The year of
entitlement for all applicants registered for the DV-2006 program ends as of
September 30, 2006. DV visas may not be issued to DV-2006 applicants after that
date. Similarly, spouses and children accompanying or following to join DV-2006
principals are only entitled to derivative DV status until September 30, 2006.
DV visa availability through the very end of FY-2006 cannot be taken for
granted. Numbers could be exhausted prior to September 30.

D.
RETROGRESSION OF FAMILY AND EMPLOYMENT CUT-OFF DATES
For August, it has
been necessary to retrogress many of the cut-off dates in the Family-sponsored
and Employment-based visa categories. This has been done in an effort to hold
the issuance levels within the applicable annual numerical limits for the
affected categories. Those retrogressions are listed below:
Worldwide: Family
1st (to 01JAN97) China: Family 4th (to 01JUL94) India: Employment 2nd has
become “Unavailable”; Employment 3rd (to 01APR01) Mexico: Family 3rd (to
01JAN81) and Family 4th (to 01JAN93) Philippines: Family 2B (to 01DEC92) and
Family 3rd (to 01DEC85)
E.
IMMIGRANT VISA AVAILABILITY FOR SEPTEMBER
Immigrant visa
number use is approaching the annual limits for the year in many categories, and
the supply of numbers remaining for allocation is limited. Therefore, for
September there is increased possibility of additional retrogressions of cut-off
dates such as those experienced in August. Readers should not assume visa
availability until the cut-off dates are announced. Categories which could
experience retrogressions are:
Worldwide: Employment 4th China:
Employment 2nd and 3rd India: Employment 1st Mexico: Employment
3rd
F.
SCHEDULE A VISA AVAILABILITY DURING FY-2007
A total of 50,000
numbers were provided for use in the Schedule A (EX) visa category which was
established last May. Visa demand in this category is approaching that limit,
and may require the establishment of a cut-off date as early as October. Once
all 50,000 numbers have been made available under the current limitation,
processing under this category will end.
G.
DIVERSITY VISA LOTTERY 2007 (DV-2007) RESULTS
The Kentucky
Consular Center in Williamsburg, Kentucky has registered and notified the
winners of the DV-2007 diversity lottery. The diversity lottery was conducted
under the terms of section 203(c) of the Immigration and Nationality Act and
makes available *50,000 permanent resident visas annually to persons from
countries with low rates of immigration to the United States. Approximately
82,000 applicants have been registered and notified and may now make an
application for an immigrant visa. Since it is likely that some of the first
*50,000 persons registered will not pursue their cases to visa issuance, this
larger figure should insure that all DV-2007 numbers will be used during fiscal
year 2007 (October 1, 2006 until September 30, 2007).
Applicants
registered for the DV-2007program were selected at random from over 5.5 million
qualified entries received during the 60-day application period that ran from
12:00 AM on October 5, 2005, until midnight, December 4, 2005. The visas have
been apportioned among six geographic regions with a maximum of seven percent
available to persons born in any single country. During the visa interview,
principal applicants must provide proof of a high school education or its
equivalent, or show two years of work experience in an occupation that requires
at least two years of training or experience within the past five years. Those
selected will need to act on their immigrant visa applications quickly.
Applicants should follow the instructions in their notification letter and must
fully complete the information requested.
Registrants living
legally in the United States who wish to apply for adjustment of their status
must contact the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services for information
on the requirements and procedures. Once the total *50,000 visa numbers have
been used, the program for fiscal year 2007 will end. Selected applicants who do
not receive visas by September 30, 2007 will derive no further benefit from
their DV-2007 registration. Similarly, spouses and children accompanying or
following to join DV-2007 principal applicants are only entitled to derivative
diversity visa status until September 30, 2007.
Only participants
in the DV-2007 program who were selected for further processing have been
notified. Those who have not received notification were not selected. They may
try for the upcoming DV-2008 lottery if they wish. The dates for the
registration period for the DV-2008 lottery program will be widely publicized
during August 2006.
* The Nicaraguan
and Central American Relief Act (NACARA) passed by Congress in November 1997
stipulated that up to 5,000 of the 55,000 annually-allocated diversity visas be
made available for use under the NACARA program. The reduction of the limit of
available visas to 50,000 began with DV-2000.

DETERMINATION OF THE NUMERICAL LIMITS ON IMMIGRANT REQUIRED UNDER THE TERMS OF
THE IMMIGRATION AND NATIONALITY ACT (INA)
The State
Department is required to make a determination of the worldwide numerical
limitations, as outlined in Section 201(c) and (d) of the INA, on an annual
basis. These calculations are based in part on data provided by the Citizenship
and Naturalization Service regarding the number of immediate relative
adjustments in the preceding year and the number of aliens paroled into the
United States under Section 212(d)(5) in the second preceding year. Without this
information, it is impossible to make an official determination of the annual
limits. To avoid delays in processing while waiting for the CIS data, the Visa
Office (VO) bases allocation on the minimum annual limits outlined in Section
201 of the INA.
The Department of
State has now determined the family and employment preference numerical limits
for FY-2006 in accordance with the terms of Section 201 of the INA. These
numerical limitations for FY-2006 are as follows:
Worldwide
Family-Sponsored preference limit: 226,000 Worldwide Employment-Based
preference limit: 143,949
Under INA Section
202(A), the per-country limit is fixed at 7% of the family and employment annual
limits. For FY-2006 the per-country limit is 25,896. The dependent area annual
limit is 2%, or 7,399.
