HR1044的25%的解读

昨天看了一些中文媒体及youtube上的律师解读 目前感觉几乎没有看到正确的解读。于是昨晚细细地看了一下法案。



(1) IN GENERAL.—Subject to the succeeding paragraphs of this subsection and notwithstanding title II of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1151 et seq.), the following rules shall apply:

(A) For fiscal year 2020, 15 percent of the immigrant visas made available under each of paragraphs (2), (3), and (5) of section 203(b) of such Act (8 U.S.C. 1153(b)) shall be allotted to immigrants who are natives of a foreign state or dependent area that is not one of the two states with the largest aggregate numbers of natives who are beneficiaries of approved petitions for immigrant status under such paragraphs.

翻译：2020财年，EB2，EB3和EB5各类别下的15%的配额将分配给除中、印的其他国家。 （这一点大家应该没有歧义）

(B) For fiscal year 2021, 10 percent of the immigrant visas made available under each of such paragraphs shall be allotted to immigrants who are natives of a foreign state or dependent area that is not one of the two states with the largest aggregate numbers of natives who are beneficiaries of approved petitions for immigrant status under such paragraphs.

翻译，2021财年，EB2，EB3和EB5各类别下的10%的配额将分配给除中、印的其他国家。 （这一点大家也应该没有歧义）

(C) For fiscal year 2022, 10 percent of the immigrant visas made available under each of such paragraphs shall be allotted to immigrants who are natives of a foreign state or dependent area that is not one of the two states with the largest aggregate numbers of natives who are beneficiaries of approved petitions for immigrant status under such paragraphs.

翻译，2022财年，EB2，EB3和EB5各类别下的10%的配额将分配给除中、印的其他国家。 （这一点大家也应该没有歧义）

(2) PER-COUNTRY LEVELS.—

(A) RESERVED VISAS.—With respect to the visas reserved under each of subparagraphs (A) through (C) of paragraph (1), the number of such visas made available to natives of any single foreign state or dependent area in the appropriate fiscal year may not exceed 25 percent (in the case of a single foreign state) or 2 percent (in the case of a dependent area) of the total number of such visas.

这里是最最让人迷惑的地方:  这里的"reserved visas"是指什么？ 是指85% 还是指 15%？ 结合下文，你就清楚的明白了：这里指的保留给除中印其它国家的15%的配额。因此正确的翻译是：对于在EB235保留的配额 （15%），任何国家（这里是指除中印的其他国家，因为中印属于“未保留配额“的国家，所以保留配15%，只能指除中印之外的国家）。 再多说一句，上文所用的”alloted" 和这里的“reserved"均是指代15%的配额。

好，那么全部的真相（翻译）就是，在15%的配额中，除中印的其他任一国家（比如菲律宾）或地区（比如香港）不得超过15%的25%或是15%的2%。

(B) UNRESERVED VISAS.—With respect to the immigrant visas made available under each of paragraphs (2), (3), and (5) of section 203(b) of such Act (8 U.S.C. 1153(b)) and not reserved under paragraph (1), for each of fiscal years 2020, 2021, and 2022, not more than 85 percent shall be allotted to immigrants who are natives of any single foreign state.

这里结合上面的翻译就更加清楚了，”对于未保留的配额 （85%的全世界配额），中印任何一个国家不得超过85%“ 总的来说就是85%的85% 在这三年之内。

欢迎大家指正，不过，我个人坚决抵制这个法案，长远来看，我认为类似于”种族灭绝“式的法案。

鉴于印度的pd比较早，是不是这三年中国实际可以拿到的配额是 85%*15%， 90%*15%， 90%*15% 这样？

我认为是这样的 法案原文 需要细细读 “With respect to the immigrant visas made available under each of paragraphs (2), (3), and (5) of section 203(b) of such Act (8 U.S.C. 1153(b))  这是说所有在这个ACT之下的全部配额 也就是大概14W， 注意下面的一个定语 and “not reserved under paragraph (1) for each of fiscal years 2020, 2021, and 2022,, ” 这句话是说同时不被保留给其他非中印国家 （也就是说全部配额要减去 15% 10% 和10% 在过渡期三年中）, 在这个数字基础上， not more than 85 percent shall be allotted to immigrants who are natives of any single foreign state. 不能超过85%的EB2，3，5分配给任何国家（这里当然包括任何国家，但这个条款主要对中 印两国的名额分配有着决定性的影响在过渡期内）。

这句话最让人疑惑的就是85%是基于什么数字，我认为是在移民法全部配额之下，同时不被保留的配额，得出的数字的85%不能分配给任何国家。paragraph 1就是 15% 10% 10%的reserved的规定。这个法案比较绕，如有不同理解，欢迎讨论 谢谢
