Retrogression happens when a visa category becomes oversubscribed, or when the number of qualified applicants exceeds the number of visas available. As a result, the US Department of State, through its US Embassies, imposes a strict quota on the number of visas further released for the countries affected (in this case, China, India and the Philippines) and is no longer able to process new employment based immigrant visa applications for a temporary but indefinite period, beginning January 1, 2005. Additionally, a “cut-off” date or “overall-priority” date is imposed. In order to be granted an immigrant visa, those with pending immigrant visa applications must have filing dates earlier than the “overall-priority” date, which is currently January 1, 2002.

Wife's a nurse and she said "No clue what you are talking about."

Could you please re-state the question?
Do you mean, "When will there be a shortage of nurses and how will the US be affected"?
