Dr. William:

I am a system engineer from India, and filed I-140 application based on Labor Certification. 

Do you believe that the current establishment of immigration number cut-off date in the Family Fourth category will soon affect visa availability for the India employment immigration applicants, like me?

A. 

The application numbers for family preference immigration has resulted in the over-subscription of the India applicants, to hold issuances within the annual limitation. 

The over-subscription of the India chargeability will have no impact visa availability in the India employment immigration applicants, it will only impact applicants in the INDIA Family Fourth preference category. Further retrogressions in this category may be possible.
