The permanent resident writer in the unskilled sector, ranked 3rd in employment immigration, is facing a situation where he has taken a step backward for three years. As a result, the immigrant applicants have a longer waiting period and difficulties in maintaining their status of residence.
According to the June 2022 Permanent Residency Issues released by the State Department last week, a new priority procedure date of May 8, 2019, has been set for the Final Action Date for unskilled workers with the third priority for employment immigration.
Considering that it was open in the previous month, it means that they have retreated for a whopping 3 years and 1 month at once in June. However, unlike the unskilled sector, the permanent residence approval decision date for skilled workers continued to be open. The priority date for prior acceptance of the 3rd priority for employment also remained open for both skilled and unskilled workers. In addition, employment 1st, 2nd, 4th (religious immigration), and 5th (investment immigration) were opened on both the date of determination of permanent residency and the date of prior application.
Even in June, family immigrants did not progress even a single day in all categories except for spouses of permanent residents and minor children (2A). It has been 9 months since most of the family immigrants have not made any progress at all.
The priority for unmarried children over the age of 21 of U.S. citizens was December 1, 2014, and the date of pre-registration was May 15, 2016. The date of determination of permanent resident status for second-order B, the adult unmarried child of a permanent resident, was frozen as of September 22, 2015, and the filing date was also September 22, 2016, the same as it was delivered.
