Employment Visa
Processing To Be Suspended
Jun 19, 2005 -
OFW GuideBad news is coming in quick
succession for Filipinos and other foreign workers who intend to enter the
US via employment-based immigration.
Just when things couldn’t possibly get worse for them, the
Department of State announced in its July 2005 Visa Bulletin that visa
numbers in the employment-based third preference (EB-3) and “other worker”
categories will no longer be available for all countries for the rest of
fiscal year 2005.
PROCESSING STOPS JULY 1
This means the Department of State would have to suspend
immigrant visa processing for these categories starting July 1.
Those who are eligible to file for adjustment of status
should file their I-140 and I-485 application before that date in order to
avail of the benefits of adjustment, including work authorization.
The backlog reduction efforts of the Immigration Service
have triggered the depletion of the visa number allocation for 2005 so that
even if the numbers will become available for the succeeding fiscal year,
retrogression would likely be imposed.
The EB-3 category refers to skilled workers and
professionals like teachers, accountants, engineers and computer
programmers. The “other worker” category refers to general houseworkers,
home attendants, adult companions, and other unskilled workers.

YesPinoy -- Latest Agency Reviewed
YesPinoy is the latest agency that
we have included in our reviews site. You may want to check it out at
OnlinePhilippines. In addition, we have received a letter from YesPinoy.
Here's an excerpt from that letter:
Many thanks for putting
details about us (YESPinoy.com) on your site. As a direct result of your
constructive comments we have made some changes to the site. We have also
reduced the send money fee to 6%. In the next few weeks we will be adding
the ability to load UnionBank EON cards which can be used in ATMs world
wide. Although our head office is in Hong Kong,
the development and support is provided by our office in Makati. Because
our support team is here in the Philippines, we
are able to provide a personalized service to those that use our send
money service. ...the remitters overseas are put
at ease knowing that we are assisting their family and friends they send
their hard earned money to.
Thanks to YesPinoy for keeping us
updated.
Update on RemitHome Services
Here's an excerpt from a letter we
received from RemitHome:
Thank you for consistently keeping our kababayans
informed of the many options they have these days for sending money back
home to the Philippines. We are delighted that you have placed remithome
in your Top 5 remittance agencies, and in the recent months, for ranking
us number one.
We noticed a couple of minor details on your web site
regarding remithome’s service that needs correction and once again, we
would like to give you some clarifications directly.
remithome does have a way for customers to track
their remittances online by logging into their remithome account.
Onlinephilippines currently has this “Tracking” feature marked with an X
for remithome.
Under Fee By Delivery Method – for security reasons,
we currently do not offer door-to-door delivery of US Dollars. At this
time, US Dollar transactions are available for direct deposit into a USD
account in the Philippines only. Your web site indicates that we deliver
USD door-to-door, which is currently not the case.
We hope this clarifies remithome’s services. More
power and support to your web site. You provide a great service!
We've made the
corrections.
Now We're Blogging!
Have you ever found our PadalaUpdates in your bulk or spam folder? That's
the dilemma of many newsletters. Because even if you subscribe to a
newsletter like ours, you're not sure to get your newsletter. Your ISP's or
email's spam filter might be working against us. So, we've decide to blog.
At our new
blogsite, you'll get the same newsletter plus more. And if you have a
feedreader or RSS reader, you can have this newsletter delivered right to
your desktop. Just add our RSS page
http://padalaupdates.blogspot.com/atom.xml to your
feed reader.
