法语:Ferrier (铁匠),英语的“铁匠”叫Blacksmith.
铁:
英语:iron
法语:fer

所以,英语的“钉蹄匠”就是来自法语名词“铁匠”。
英语词汇起码三分之二都来自法语。

6月13日,美国国务院宣布了2007年7月的移民签证排期。职业移民的所有优先类别(除
了unskilled worker之外)签证名额对所有申请人均为可用。这一消息重新点燃了成千
上万期待申请绿卡但因为排期的倒退而不得不一直等待的申请人的希望。这些潜在申请
人和他们的律师一起在过去的两周内努力地准备申请资料,准备在7月初就提交他们的
申请。
然而就在本周一,7月2日,国务院又公布了一份新修改的7月份的排期。新的排期宣布
:2007年的职业移民名额已经全部用完,到10月1日2008财政年度的名额可用之前,移
民局将不再接受任何新的以职业移民为基础I-485身份调整申请。
愤怒﹑挫败﹑怀疑以及抱怨的情绪迅速充斥在成千上万计划在7月进行身份调整的申请
人中间。我们律师事务所对这个意想不到的变化也觉得非常的震惊和无奈。我们的律师
和助理在过去的两周内加班加点地为客户们准备申请,并于6月30日将准备好的大约100
份申请通过FedEx的方式寄出,预期在7月2日(星期一)这天送达移民局。但不幸的是
,这一天送达的申请也将被移民局全部退回。联邦政府的这一意外举动给我 |

1. 我提交的I-485申请受到了美国国务院(DOS)七月排期反覆变化事件的影响。我或
者我的律师对此能做些什么?
七月份移民排期的混乱情况给成千上万的准备提交I-485申请的人们造成了巨大的影响
。申请人或其律师无法改变目前的移民排期。为了帮助此次事件中受影响的大量申请人
,美国移民法基金会(AILF)决定起诉移民局(USCIS)。受影响的申请人可以加入这
次诉讼。如果诉讼最终获得了成功,申请人就可以从中受益。
2. 是什么原因促成了这次共同诉讼?
2007年6月13日,国务院发布了7月份的移民排期表,几乎所有的职业移民类别在7月都
有名额(除了Unskilled Worker)。成千上万的申请人准备在7月提交I-485申请。但出
人意料的是,7月2日星期一,国务院又修改了7月的移民排期,称2007年7月所有职业移
民类别的名额均已用完。紧接着,移民局宣布在2007年10月之前,将不再接受任何人提
交的I-485申请。移民局在2007年7月2日收到的所有I-485申请都将被退回。众多的申请
人对这种情况的出现甚为意外和失望。由此,AILF决定对移 |
