This is cut an dpasted from VISA Bulletin Dec 2000
ANY Comments<
br>
- Section 106 recaptures those Employment-based visa numbers
which were available but not used in fiscal years 1999 and 2000,
creating a "pool" of approximately 130,000 numbers.
These numbers could be made available to applicants in the
Employment First, Second, and Third preference categories beginning
in fiscal year 2001.
- Section 104 removes the per-
country limit in instances where the overall applicant demand
for Employment-based visas is less than the numbers available
without regard to those limits. This determination will be made
quarterly, based on a comparison
of the overall demand versus
the available numbers. If the total number of available Employment-
based visas is greater than the
number of qualified applicants
who may otherwise be issued such visas (during the same period)
, the per-country limitations on Employment-based visas will
be lifted for the remainder of that quarter.
