05/27/2011: House Bill Exempting Certain Schedule A Foreign Nurses From
Numerical Limitation for Employment-Based Immigration Visas Upto 20,000 Per
Year
We reported earlier that there was a bill introduced in the House a few
days back entitled "Emergency Nursing Supply Relief Act" to relieve this
country from nursing shortage. This bill provides that if Schedule A I-140
petition is "filed" before 09/30/2014, such professional nurses are exempted
from employment-based immigrant visa numerical limitation upto 20,000 per
year if such petition is approved. Additionally such nurses' "accompanying
or following-to-join" family members (spouse and children) are also exempted
from the numerical limit, no matter how many the numbers would be.
Accordingly, the annual limit of this special 20,000 per year will count
only principal beneficiary of Schedule A petition, nurses. It means that
such qualified Scheduled A immigrant petition will produce a much larger
than 20,000 who receive the benefits of exemption from the annual numerical
limits regardless of immigrant visa cut-off dates in the Visa Bulletin. This
bill also provides recapture of unused 20,000 numerical limit exempted
numbers in the following year.
Juicy part of this bill does not end with exemption from numerical limit
. It also mandates the USCIS to expedite processing for reviewing and acting
upon such qualified Schedule A petitions not later than 30 days after the
date on which a completed petition has been filed!! Huh? La, la, la!
Good deal for the foreign nurses!
