deferred action and 245i - Page 2

Well H.R. 3012 hasn't passed yet, though most likely it will.

Mmmm fuck. Well the good news is that the hold that this bill had was lifted about a week ago.

Senator Chuck Grassley today put the following statement in The Congressional Record regarding lifting his hold on H.R. 3012, the Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act.

"245i most likely will be extended, especially if Obama is still the President. Starting this October the cases of people not being covered by 245i will have their priority dates, so we will see what action will be taken.

Also starting October the number of visas/green cards given out through a family petition will increase from 7% to 15%."

This is not true. Because of a racist Republican that favored Irish immigrants over all others the bill that would have increased the visas available is stalled. Unless their is new info that I don't know about.

I am in the same boat except that I am from Mexico and the visa waiting times is about 20 years for a son over 21. They don't call this category "immediate" although they fail to convince me as to why "turning" 21 no longer makes you an immediate relative to a US citizen. If you are over 21, apparently, you are no longer an immediate relative to your own mom.

I think here is where the confusion is. If you were covered by 245i, I am assuming we we all under 21 at the time. If you priority date finally arrives, and you happen to be over 21 because the application process took so long, unfortunately you will not benefit from that case. HOWEVER, if you HAPPEN to get married or sponsored by an employee, you benefit from 245i in that you don't have to leave the country for 10 years! I mean that still sounds pretty good!

Your miss understanding 245i protection. With or without defered action your qualified if you are covered under 245i protection. So in another word defered action just signed by Obama will not change your qualification for 245i protection.

23,400 plus any numbers not required for fourth preference is given out right now for F1 category. You mean this will be extended to 15%?

When do you think it will pass?

You would have to serve the 3/10 ban first if you are not grandfathered under the 245i clause though so this will change? The PD is for the I-130/140 petition though.



Which category are you in? F1? You are also unmarried right? You are no longer an immediate relative if you turn 21 therefore the wait times are longer. It has always been that way though. Will this change? For Mexico, the PD is June 8th, 1993 starting August 1st 2012.

Are you talking about when 245i first started or when it ended? Age 20 and under at what date though?

If your petitioner files a I-130 and you are covered under 245i then you do not have to serve the ban to file for adjustment.

Hopefully in near obama will remove the bars from us and let us apply if we are eligible to apply through I-130. It would get half of us out of this problem right away and it would be alot eassier for obama to remove bars from us then try to pass actual CIR or DA.

Your petitioner can still apply for the beneficiary whether you are not covered under 245i or not.

If you are covered by the 245i then you do not need to serve the ban.

The deferred action has nothing to do with 245i. The status does not change nor the rule of bars changes.

what about employment immigration petitions? will those go faster too, my parent's priority date is feb 2008, im almost aged out so im probably screwed anyway; but if my parents get green cards ill be happy
