National Visa Center (NVC) Confirms it is Working To Restore Cases Affected by October 2016 Retrogression: Notice on Employment 5th Preference Cases at NVC
在2017年6月与7月间,国家签证中心(“NVC”)对大量之前已收到案件审核完毕确认信并在等待安排面试的移民签证案件发布了的新的通知。 值得您注意的是,从2016年10月起,NVC开始根据美国国务院颁布的签证排期表中的申请递件排期表(表B)的截止日,来发送缴费通知和启动移民签证的案件处理。但是这些最新的通知却向之前已经被NVC审理完毕的案子再次发出确认案件由美国移民局转移到了NVC,并要求申请人提交移民签证申请和支持文件的通知。
现在我们已经澄清这些通知是错误的,NVC目前正在更新收到这些错误通知的案件的信息。这些案件是指那些之前已经收到NVC确认案件审核完毕,并且优先日已经在表B截至日期前的案件。我们已经收到确认,在以上情况下收到的NVC错误的通知(告知案件刚被转移到NVC或者再次要求申请人递交申请文件)可以会被忽略。
在NVC审查每个案件的状态后,如果以前接受的任何文件需要重新提交,NVC将向代理人发送通知。除此之外,之前已经完成审核并等待移民签证面试的案件将按之前案件审核完成的日期为准重新返回等待面试的队列,并且NVC会给申请人及其律师/代理人发送新的通知信。
NVC将会在这些受到影响的案件恢复后提供确认,届时,NVC将能够更好地回答有关具体案件状态的详细问题。NVC预计该过程大约需要两周时间。 GT将继续更进,并提供关于NVC进展情况的更新。请订阅此博客以获取更新。

美国移民局有关2016年10月排期的说明
美国移民局于2016年9月22日决定,在2016年10月,除了少数职业移民的类别外,家庭移民和职业移民的调整身份申请人可以根据申请递件排期表(Dates of Filing Visa Application chart),也称为签证排期表中的表B来递交调整身份的申请。美国移民局指出EB-4宗教人士类别的调整身份申请人和EB-5区域中心项目类别的调整身份申请人,将只能使用移民签证名额的实际排期表(Final Action Dates chart), 也被称为表A。美国移民局解释说,由于EB-5区域中心项目和EB-4宗教人士移民项目预计于9月30日到期,因此这两个类别将在被国会延期之前,没有签证名额可用。公告还指出,这两个项目在延期后,移民局会适当的更新签证排期表以及更新网页来提供有关身份调整资格的信息。
在2016年9月28日,国会批准了短期联邦支出法案,其中包括将EB-4和EB-5区域中心项目在没有政策改变的情况下延期到2016年12月9日。 虽然美国移民局有更新该项目的网页,以反映在这些类别目前有签证名额可用。然而EB-5类别的调整身份申请人仍然不能使用表B来进行调整身份的申请。此外,移民局指出所有EB-5类别的申请人(包括区域中心和非区域中心项目)必须使用移民签证名额的实际排期表(Final Action Dates chart), 也被称为表A。对于出生在中国大陆已获得I-526批准的调整身份申请人,在2016年10月,只有那些优先日在2014年2月21日或之前的申请人才可以申请调整身份。
