【From LIA】关于五月VB, LIA 和奥本海穆的最新通讯
前几天，一些移民律师预测中国的EB2因为需求过量而会在五月VB里 Unavailable。昨
天我们和AILA的主席的通话也印证了这种预测。
今天（4/4），LIA 在芝加哥的一位口语能力很强的成员在上周和 Oppenheim 通话后，
又和他再次通话，询问五月份VB的情况。Oppenheim的回答比上次要谨慎很多。他表示
五月中国的EB2不会U，而且反复强调中印EB2的cut-off dates 会一样。
特此声明，这只是LIA和Oppenheim的在东部时间四月四日三点半下午的对话。并不代表
五月VB的最后结果。但是，根据Oppenheim的谨慎口气，我们估计他的话很有可能兑现
。那么我们前几天估计的中国EB2的U将得到改善。至于说cut off dates和老印一样是
否公平，因为我们还不知道我们和老印的EB2到底谁多，所以不好说相同日期谁占便宜
。但是，我们已经在四月VB上吃了大亏，现在这点小便宜或者小亏，可以忽略。
到现在，LIA在全美范围内的请愿已经触动了十多个议员办公室，更有六七个办公室已
经代表我们向DOS提出了针对visa number 分配问题的质询，所以Oppenheim 肯定已经
感受了到来自中国移民的压力。这种压力或多或少会对五月VB产生一定影响。现在需要
的是加强这种压力，让更多的议员办公室质询DOS。LIA在全国20个分会正在积极准备造
访更多的议员办公室。已有两家已经成行。请关注LIA的动向。谢谢。

1) What's your estimate on May Visa Bulletin for employment based category 1
, 2 and 3?
O: EB-1 will stay current for all. EB-2 world-wide will stay current.
There will be slight movement for EB-2 China AND India, but they'll have the
same cut-off date. For EB-3, there'll be slight movement as well.
2) So by saying "slight movement", do you mean a month or could you specify
the date?
O: Sorry I can't tell you the exact date. As I said, there will be slight
movement for both EB2 China and EB2 India.
3) There has been some rumor around saying that both China and India EB-2
will become unavailable in May?
O: No, that'll probably happen at the end of this FY, but not in May. Right
now I don't see we need to make that adjustment yet.
4) I guess many people will be glad to know there will be movement for all.
When can we expect to see the official May visa bulletin?
O: That will come out sometime next Tuesday or Wednesday.
