05/23/2005 HEALTHCARE IMMIGRATION ALERT:
50,000 SCHEDULE A VISAS WILL BE RELEASED IN JUNE

Hammond Law Group has recently learned that the Department of State (DOS) will announce shortly the availability of 50,000 EB3 for Schedule A immigrant visas applicants recently authorized by Congress. The new visas should be available in June and will eliminate retrogression for Schedule A occupations -- registered nurses and physical therapists.

One potential delay is that the National Visa Center (NVC) appears to have reallocated resources in light of the retrogression. It may take some time for the NVC to reach pre-retrogression efficiency.
