LATEST ON VISA BULLETIN DEBACLE (FROM AILA): LIKELY ANNOUNCEMENT TODAY

Below is the latest on the July Visa Bulletin mess just posted on AILA. It appears that an announcement will probably come today…let’s see what it will be.
(Posted on AILA, July 17,2007)
“It appears somewhat likely that there will be an announcement today regarding efforts by the government to resolve the ongoing controversy over USCIS’ refusal to accept employment-based adjustment of status filings. “Authoritative sources” are providing wildly varying reports regarding the content of the “fix,” which may indicate any number of things, including the possibility that the government is not able to come to sufficient agreement to actually produce a “fix.” AILA will post updates to InfoNet as the situation progresses.”

AILA’S COMMENT ON VISA BULLETIN RUMORS

Please see below the comment posted on AILA’s website yesterday regarding rumors that are spreading about the July Visa Bulletin mess:

(posted Jul. 16, 2007 on AILA)

“Rumors have been rampant about whether (and, if so, how) Department of Homeland Security and/or Department of State are going to address their actions resulting in the refusal of adjustment of status filings for most employment-based applicants in July and for “other worker” applicants during June. There have been efforts, including EXTREMELY active efforts by AILA and AILF, on all possible fronts to pressure the government into remedying its own actions. However, as of this writing nothing has been resolved and it is not known if it will be resolved without litigation. The situation is extremely fluid, and as soon as there is something FACTUAL to report, it will be posted immediately on InfoNet.”
