请看看有没有用？是套话吧？
Hi,xxx – Sorry for the delay in responding. Here is information provided
by xxx regarding the immigrant visa number allocation for the applicants in
the Employment Third Preference category (EB-3):
The allocation of visa numbers is based on regulations specified in the
Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). The fiscal year 2013 limit for
employment-based preference immigrants calculated under Section 201 of the
INA is 158,466, which is divided into five preference categories. 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., 26,913 for FY-2013. Section 203(e) of the INA provides that
family-sponsored and employment-based preference visas be issued to eligible
immigrants in the order in which the petition has been filed. 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.
Section 202(a)(5) of the INA provides that if total demand in a calendar
quarter will be insufficient to use all available numbers in an Employment
preference, then the unused numbers may be made available without regard to
the annual per-country limits. Such numbers must be provided strictly in
applicant priority date order regardless of chargeability, and the cut-off
date which applies to India EB3 applicants is significantly earlier than
those being applied to all other EB3 applicants. The application of Section
202(a)(5) may result in greater number use by one country, indicating
greater demand by applicants from that country with earlier priority dates.
This is why FY-2013 number use in the India EB3 category will exceed the
normal per-country limit.
The rate of number use under Section 202(a)(5) is continually monitored to
determine whether adjustments are needed in visa availability for the
oversubscribed countries. This helps assure that all available Employment
preference numbers will be used, while insuring that numbers also remain
available for applicants from all other countries that have not yet reached
their per-country limit.
