美国移民局发布美国移民排期的新政策[1]

USCIS, in coordination with Department of State (DOS), is revising the procedures for determining visa availability for applicants waiting to file for employment-based or family-sponsored preference adjustment of status. The revised process will better align with procedures DOS uses for foreign nationals who seek to become U.S. permanent residents by applying for immigrant visas at U.S. consulates and embassies abroad.
　　美国移民局(USCIS)，在美国国务院(DOS)的协调下，为正在等待递交职业或亲属优先身份的申请人调整身份而修改确定签证配额的程序。修改后的程序将与美国国务院一起致力于让那些在境外的美国大使馆和领事馆通过申请移民签证而试图成为美国永久居民的外国人更加便利。
　　This revised process will enhance DOS’s ability to more accurately predict overall immigrant visa demand and determine the cut-off dates for visa issuance published in the Visa Bulletin. This will help ensure that the maximum number of immigrant visas are issued annually as intended by Congress, and minimize month-to-month fluctuations in Visa Bulletin final action dates.
　　修改后的程序将提升美国国务院更准确预估移民签证需求总量的能力并确定在美国移民排期表中所公布的签证发放的排期日。这将有助于确保每年发放的移民签证最大配额符合国会预期，将使美国移民排期表的最终发放日的每月波动最小化。
　　The Visa Bulletin revisions implement November 2014 executive actions on immigration announced by President Obama and Secretary of Homeland Security Johnson, as detailed in the White House report, Modernizing and Streamlining Our Legal Immigration System for the 21st century, issued in July 2015.
　　美国移民排期表的修改落实了奥巴马总统和国土安全部部长约翰逊2014年11月所宣布的移民行政法令，具体可见于2015年7月所发行的白宫报告《现代化并简化我们21世纪的合法移民体制》。
