EB2-NIW倒退疑問 - 移民

更新一下, http://tinyurl.com/hp2n6nj
看起來好像8月的Priority Date就倒退了

另外想請問這會影響到AP/EAD的申請進度嗎？
是不是只要7月前送件都不會有影響呢？

: 但應該就只有九月會退 十月就會恢復

: ATTENTION: NIW clients not born in China or India – The US Department of
: State (“DOS”) has forewarned that there will likely be a retrogression for
: EB-2 Worldwide (i.e., I-140 EB-2 (NIW) petitioners born in countries other
: than China or India) starting September 1, 2016. This means that clients born
: in countries other than China or India who are filing I-140s under the EB-2
: NIW category may NOT be eligible to file the I-485 application between the
: dates of September 1, 2016 to September 30, 2016 if their EB-2 priority date
: is no longer current at that time. We do not know yet what the priority date
: cut-off will be, but it is likely that EB-2 Worldwide should return to
: "Current" status again starting October 1, 2016. This retrogression will not
: be certain to occur until the September 2016 Visa Bulletin is issued AND
: USCIS updates the “Adjustment of Status Filing Charts from the Visa Bulletin
: ” (https://www.uscis.gov/visabulletininfo), but it is likely to happen, so
: you should make sure to plan accordingly. Likewise, the return to "Current"
: status on October 1 is expected to occur according to the Department of State.
: If you are planning on filing an I-140 (EB-2 NIW) petition and I-485
: application and you or your dependent(s) are going to lose non-immigrant visa
: (NIV) status between now and early October, OR you or your dependent(s) are
: going to lose work authorization between now and the end of December, then
: you may need to consider filing your I-140 and I-485 BEFORE September 1,
: 2016. It takes about 90 days on average for USCIS to process the EAD/AP work
: authorization card that you can file for with the I-485, which is why you may
: want to consider filing the I-485 prior to September if you will lose
: employment authorization by the end of December.
: If you were (1) not born in India or China, (2) you cannot file the I-140
: (EB-2 NIW) and I-485 application before September 1, 2016, and (3) you are
: losing NIV status by October and/or work authorization by December, then you
: could potentially file an I-140 (EB1A or EB1B) instead of an I-140 (EB-2 NIW)
: depending on your credentials, but that determination would need to be made
: on a case-by-case basis.
: Our timeline for filing the I-140 and I-485 are largely dependent on how
: quickly clients can get us ALL of their required materials, so please keep
: that in mind.
: If you already have an I-485 pending based on an underlying NIW petition and
: you were not born in China or India, your I-485 will remain pending but will
: not be eligible to receive a final adjudication until the retrogression is
: over and your priority date becomes current again (which is expected to be
: October 1). This retrogression will not affect the processing or validity of
: your EAD/AP card. If your I-485 is already pending, this retrogression will
: not impact your ability to file the EAD/AP renewal applications if your card
: is within 120 days of expiration.
: EB-2 priority dates for clients born in China or India are still not current.

: : 不好意思，打擾各位版友。
: : 今日聽朋友說非大陸及非印度的 EB2-NIW排期將會倒退。
: : 建議快送140或485。由於我還在考慮是否自己送。想請教此訊息是否屬實？
: : 如果倒退會對臺灣想移民的旅外同胞有怎樣的影響？
: : 另外幫朋友問一下，如果去年已經送了140 485，排期倒退會否影響去年的140 485.
