USCIS Announces Update on Employment-Based Adjustment of Status Processing
WASHINGTON-The Department of State has revised its July Visa Bulletin to reflect that all available employment-based immigrant visas have been allocated for fiscal year 2007.
As a result, beginning today, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services
(USCIS) is rejecting applications to adjust status (Form I-485) filed by aliens whose priority dates are not current under the revised July Visa Bulletin.
U.S. immigration law limits the number of employment-based immigrant visas that may be issued each fiscal year.

Does AILA/AILF has any intention to get this into main stream media and make it a hot button issue? IMHO, if AILA/AILF can strike through the main stream media, it will have a better impact in the interim, given that the success of a lawsuit is totally unpredictable. I know that AILA has stuff on its website, But getting an AP writer or Reuters to write the story will be of great impact.
What will happen to the applications received before the revised Visa bulletin was released on July 2nd? (before 10.30am?)
