On June 30, 2007 the DOS (Department of State) came up with a notice that it will be revising the July 2007 bulletin and today they came up with the information that they wont be any more accepting I-485 applications on July and those applications what would be received will be rejected. Also the priority dates for all the categories have been made unavailable.
What a pain. So much hope, money and time is lost. I have been calling my father every other day and bothering him to get the birth certificate and affidavit and all that effort is now gone into the drain. It is very absurd to know that DOS could do such kind of thing which has never happened before.
Officially it was announced that the reason they are reverting back the bulletin is because all the visa numbers for the fiscal year has been allocated. Didn't they expect this before? It implies to me that the DOS doesn't do the math before they publish their visa bulletin. Seems stupid to me. It is sad to look at the plight of people waiting for years for their Green Card. After reading the update there is no clear cut information as to why they would do such a frustrating thing. It implies me that someone inside the DOS is controlling purposely. Lot of other people are guessing different reasons as to why this has been done. One person says that it could be because of the fee hike after July 2007 so that the USCIS can make more money. Other person thinks that it could also be because of Bush is trying to push the immigration bill or it could be they just don't like people coming to United States. Whatever could be the reason, all it seems like they need to revamp the whole system of Green Card.
Overall it is very disappointing. At first they giving hope and taking it back within 15 days of time.
