I personally think they give more GC to consular since retrogression but if you look up the past EW counselor statistics Mexico and Philippines had insane amount of visa approved still we are stucked. I always thought AOS is way faster than consular but it doesn’t look like that at this point almost 3years have past and I can’t apply for EAD and I-485 but hope for the best

@sam young AOS is a joke now, it is weird to see lots of CP get approved and we are stil waiting for years, do you think id Trump win, AOS would be prioritized?

It has nothing to do with the president!

@REALLY REALLY tired of waiting yes it does

this guy comments about TRUMP almost everywhere he get chance! if you want to live in a dictatorship why did you even migrate to US?

let see. Will Trump give you a GC ? We’ll see.

@Th Ng it’s too early to say since change in immigration laws take time they can’t be changed quickly but for now they should at least approve people with PD 21 AOS applicant

@yogesh niroula maybe under Trump AOS would be prioritized because he restricted consular processing and illegal immigrants

@eb3 unskilled it's not like I supportor him as current situation not good like 2018-2019 for AOS, also Trump will be likely to win anyways

@sam young yes at least those in early 2021 should be cleared, it is clear that they slower AOS for a couple of years now and focused on consular processing

@Th Ng please educate yourself politically if you want to speak politics. Policy and laws never take into effect immediately unless indicate so. whatever happening right now is the law and policy under Trump. Same for 2018-2019, whatever happened during that time was the policy under Obama. So on and so forth.

i agree with the rest of the people in here that president has nothing to do with EB visas. They never give their 2 cents into this category. what they care is DACA. Just accept the fact that demand > supply and they dont give a f* to raise the GC quotas aka demand. just that simple

he resteicted CP that’s why we got that retrogression!! so many visa waste when he was incharge! if you wanna come with numbers make it right! dont sell yourself dumb

@yogesh niroula @Tibi Ala president does affect that's why CP get huge backlogs for Trump, idk if Trump or Harris is better but now Trump is likely to win and I wonder if AOS would be prioritized under Trump or not? It's not that I want Trump but that is Trump is likely to win the election

@Th Ng He is already loosing in the swing states.

@Th Ng facts are out and you still try to make a point of the president. i doubt that any president would have idea eb3 visa esp the one you are rooting for! So whoever will be the president will not matter

@Th Ng also I just went to your history lmaooo. you was trying to get an idea if Trump gonna do anything with his 2025 immigration plan and several people already said it will be the same regardless and you are here still trying to bring up the president. if you are supporting the guy, I think you are in a wrong place buddy

@Th Ng i know, bro. Lots of viet guys succeeded in 2018-2020 under Trump’s empire. My cousin was one of them. It doesn’t mean the history repeats itself

@Tibi Ala president can manipulate immigration that's it bro. Just hope they would prioritize AOS that's it bro, no more useless argument

@eb3 unskilled CP was slower under Trump, that's why a lot of spots for AOS, hope for the best

@eb3 unskilled agree 2 of my friends got their AOS approved in 2020&21 really fast but 95% is all depends on your sponsor because if your sponsor is good and have all required documents you are all set

@Th Ng why was CP slower during Trump administration?

@up down he restricted CP and delayed them

@Th Ng why you think it's a good thing when one group is restricted in order for you (AOS) to benefit. How is that fair. CP have it hardest because they are stuck outside the US they don't have an EAD don't have the opportunity for travel AP while someone in AOS does. You want them to restricted CP that means a GC husband should not have the opportunity to be with his wife and child to ensure the AOS is given priority. The reason why CP seems to be going faster is because they have older dates. when the embassy was closed during covid they skipped those folks and approved AOS with later PD ,which was understandabld but now they getting their turn. what is wrong with that ?.. AOS you have the option to transfer your case to CP if the believe your case is current and they not working on it. CP doesn't have this option because it's unlikely the embassy will give the a Non-immigrant visa to travel to the US to do an AOS case. Think about it you has an employer waiting 3-4 years for those CP workers while your business struggles while with AOS their employees are working for them. CP has it so bad if their employers decides not to wait they have to start over while AOS can use AC21 and change employers but you want the government to resist CP even more that is awful way to think. Don't be ungrateful appreciate what you got and stop comparing yourself with others. Don't wish for a separation of others from their American dream in order for you to have your.

Trump time was Covid time. the world was in lock down that’s why more AOS case get approved. just simple fact

@Tibi Ala I strongly agree with you. Common sense and proper political knowledge seem rare nowadays lol.

@Tibi Ala you got my point. would democrat president have continued CP during covid? i don’t think so…good example of false causality

@Bubu Nguyen and those are the one who eagerly want to talk about it lol. Like make it make senseeeee 😅 @up down the man just doesn’t like to think a little harder and come back with such nonsense support

@hello mark true!!!

@Th Ng Trust me. Your selfish will not get you anywhere in life.

@hello mark do you think it is fair for CP to live happily in their country and wait for the GC in hands while AOS are working hard for years?

@l nguyen is not selfish but this is common sense, CP usually goes with a lot of dependents and it slows down the whole process for everyone. @hello mark 30k CP and 5k AOS, why do 5k people have to work hard for years and wait for 30k CP, why do AOS have to work hard and wait for years for their family reunion? CP has a lot of dependents averaging 4 GC per person.

@Bubu Nguyen so you think that you have proper political knowledge?

@Th Ng really really?? if they are soon happy in their home country waiting for 3-4 years why would they want to travel to the USA in the first place it's because they are not happy with something hence why the apply to leave their home country to be a PR in the US.I know you don't believe that they are happy because if you did, what stopping you from filing a I-824 to transfer your file to your home country, so you too could be happily waiting for you green card in hand. Bet you won't because you know it's a lie. AOS applicants have it way better once the have an EAD and AP. Be honest if most people could choose (which in your case you can) they would rather be stuck in their home country waiting for 3-4 year or stuck in the USA with a EAD and AP ? be honest you only want a system that benefits you regardless of who gets hurt.

@Th Ng why don't the 5k AOS applicants file a I-824 so the don't have to work hard for years ? Do you think 30K CP applicants which some of them their children are aging out because DOS uses final action chart to lock their children age while USCIS uses date for filing to lock AOS child ages. look at that another benefit that only AOS gets. Do you think 30kCP applicants wish there was a form like the I-824 to transfer their case and would allow them to travel to the USA early and wait. I think so , I think they would like to use AC21, I think they would like using filing chart to lock their children age, I think the would like to use an EAD to work and work for any empolyer and as much employers they like , I think the would like to use AP to travel in and out of the US. I think they would like that most employment AOS interviews are waived. I think they would like to switch places with AOS maybe it's just me. I honestly hope you will post that you have decided that you have book you ticket and filed your I-824 and will be traveling home to wait on your green card in hand. The inventory will be 30k plus 1 because you no longer want the benefits of AOS you rather CP. which again a privilege only AOS has.

@hello mark I’m the aging child and have to do a separate filing for myself. Why reunion is so important that it affects others? Because CP has so many dependents it affects others processing time, not AOS. AOS has to work for long time and by the time RFE or interviews, if they can not keep the job offer or changing job, they are in troubles. I saw a guy working in the US being in the US as an F1, H1B for 12 years contribute a lot of money for the US yet he has to wait almost 20 years for a GC but CP only has to wait 5-6 years in their home country without spending much money, it is not a fair system, those in the US has to wait many years to file their I-485 have to spend a lot of money to maintain status in order to file I-485. It is just way too unfair for 30k CP (not included dependents) to get prioritized. Aging out is a problem that a lot of people filing and since an applicant has many dependents so it lengthens the whole processing for everyone, so basically just CP harms CP, not AOS harm CP, CP also harms AOS.

@hello mark also almost everyone can do CP so why you have to prioritize such an easy way and it also backlogs the whole job category? is this backlogs made by CP or AOS?

@hello mark tell me why you have to prioritize CP that backlogs the whole system since the only thing they do is waiting and not working but AOS has to work and cannot leave their job for many years? Why prioritize 30k people waiting but not 5k people working, waiting and maintaining the job?

@Th Ng now I see you don't understand USA immigration you just repeating the stuff you see on various chat boards and because you waiting you care not to understand the process or the data. This is fact most GC in employment base is given to AOS not CP it's not even close. Having depends is not illegal it's the law which they are following. This is a reason why I would think you want them to get their GC has quick as possible because any children they have outside the us is counted which is not the case because any children they have inside the US are citizens that's the case for AOS even if your pending AOS and have a child that child is an US citizen hence that child isn't added to the petition not the case if you case is pending cp and you waiting on a GC. look another benefit that only AOS gets which benefit the entire process. There are so much benefits that only AOS gets no wonder why they wish the were CP (sarcasm). You say AOS is in trouble if the can't keep their job or change job (an option only AOS has) that's true but what happens if after 2 years going 3 years employer for a CP applicants says it too long and it makes no sense I no longer need that employee the economy has changed don't have the need for that worker ? that not bad but terrible they don't have a AC21 they have to start over from perm . Also most AOS slipp through the crack because most don't do interviews while CP it's mandatory it's 100% a problem if the employer backs out. Mandatory interview for CP slows the process down hence why a vast number of GC in employment is given to AOS that's facts . You did a false comparison that H-1B waiting 20 years for GC is because the individual is most likely from India so that same individual doing CP would waiting 22 years because the India consulates have some of the biggest backlog. immediate relative petition india is taken 1.5-2 years while in the US AOS is taking 6-8 months that would be considered slow processing. Again AOS is faster over all because the file early using the filing charts so every thing is pre-adjuciated which CP first immigrant petitions has to be approved first then takes weeks to be sent to NVC then takes weeks to become DQ then wait months even a year depending on the embassy for an interview again these are some of the fact why AOS is getting most of the GC but main reason is that most don't have to do a interview. Again most Employment base GC is given to AOS that's facts. unlikely CP you have to do an interview also you have to wait before you can do the medical slowing down and already slow process while now AOS medicals never expires so the possible will be even more fast means AOS is going to continue to get most of the GC.

@Th Ng even the issue that you complain about that they are prioritizing 30K CP but not 5k is not true. These numbers even though I don't know where you got them but irrelevant tells us the facts for persons who understand the process that priority if there is any is the other way around. The reason why it seems CP is getting priority is because they have the older PD because in 2020 they had thousands of backlogs with 2017-2020 PD several of which is because the embassy kept sending back the petition to USCIS with the intention to revoke again slowing down the process while AOS didn't and doesn't have this issue. So their backlog kept growing then covid hit so to add to the 2017-2020 slow processing consulate close no GC everything went to AOS which historically had gotten most of the GC now was getting all of the GC. I bet you didn't think that was unfair then when AOS was getting all of the GC, was getting "Priority" over CP, people with 2017 and 2018 CP PD waiting while AOS with 2020,2021 even 2022 was getting GC. I would think that was unfair you probably wouldn't but I at least understand it was covid time better to give AOS all of the GC than waste it. now we are post covid the government is given GC to applicants with the oldest PD these are the CP applicants with those 2017-2020 but you see that are unfair and the government is prioritize cp over AOS. which is not the case they are prioritizing older PD over newer PD which is the law. This is what you don't want to accept, 83% of the pending AOS inventory for EW has a 2021 or 2022 PD while the final action date for that category is in 2020 but your surprise your not seen covid times approval for AOS. I wonder why , 🤔 let me give you a hint it's because they are not current and CP 2017-2020 are current so they are getting more of the approval for once. As soon as final action dates gets to that date that 83% of pending for AOS waiting on to be current everything will be back to normal and AOS will take a vast majority of the GC as usual because everything for those cases are ready just waiting on being current while CP with the same 2021 or 2022 PD doesn't have chance they not DQ yet, can't do the medical or police report because it will expire and don't have a date for their mandatory interview. These are all facts but I guess when this happens which it will it's inevitable you won't say it's unfair so what if AOS skips CP which historically is the case that ok with you right.

could someone please make the long story short ?

@hello mark yeah it kinda too long to even want to start to read, anyway no one can decide this so it is useless to argue too much anyway @eb3 unskilled

@hello mark yeah it kinda too long to even want to start to read, anyway no one can decide this so it is useless to argue too much anyway

@Th Ng disagree that's is useless because I do believe you will become a citizen in couple years for now, so you views matter but I do agree neither of us views matter now and appreciate even though we disagree you did use disgusting name calling. That's good and truly hope you get the GC soon. All the best

@hello mark what do you mean disgusting name calling? Thanks and hope all of us can get GC soon

@Th Ng because some people when you disagree with them they start to use expletives and get disrespectful. It's nice to see that we don't agree on this topic but we kept it respectful.

@hello mark thank you, there is no benefits to do that anyway
