The US Department of State has issued a
statement that all medical professionals, particularly those working to combat
Covid-19, should contact their nearest US Embassy to request a visa
appointment. If you are a medical
professional and have an approved I-129, I-140 or other immigration petition,
you should contact the US Embassy
or Consulate nearest to you to schedule a visa appointment as soon as
possible. Even if the Embassy is
currently closed to routine interviews, an interview may be granted for a
medical professional.
The medical professional with an approved I-140 must have a current priority date.

ReplyDeleteI-140, not I-130
DeleteHi. Does our Priority date need to be current to be eligible? or does an approved I-140 will be suffice? My PD is November 2018 EB3 Philippines.

DeleteIs this only applicable for nurses and not for other healthcare professionals such as PTs?

ReplyDeleteYour questions are very specific to you. I do not offer specific legal advice in this format. You should make sure that you have an experienced attorney to give you the best advice for your situation.
DeleteHow about those nurses that their petition is under review at uscis?
ReplyDeleteNo - the I-140 must be approved.
DeleteGood day atty, do you think PD will move forward next visa bulletin since they need more nurses especially those under EB3? Thank you.
ReplyDeleteDoes it also work for a Heath Care professional who is not the primary applicant of an i-140 approved petition ?
ReplyDeleteYou must have an approved I-140.
DeleteSorry it was not clear to me. I (principal applicant) do have an approved I-140, as a driver and my wife is a Health Care Worker. EB3- Other Workers is not current now. Executive Order implemented yesterday, suspended immigration, but Health Care Professionals were exempted. My doubt is..If EB3 others workers become current again, our petitions will be exempted? considering the fact that the primary applicant is not a health Care worker...only my wife. Thanks in advance.
ReplyDeleteI don't follow your explanation unfortunately. You probably want to email the attorney on your case, and take this off the public forum.
Deletedoes this apply to this date? USEM Manila will be closed until July 31 and until further notice; with VB continuously moving forward do we have a chance to be scheduled for interview?
ReplyDeleteyes- you have a chance of being scheduled.
