Important Update Affecting EB-2 Advancement
Charlie Oppenheim, Chief, Immigrant Visa Control and Reporting Division, U.S
. Department of State, informed the American Immigration Lawyers Association
(AILA) of a dramatic reduction in the use of EB-1 Priority Workers numbers
that would have a significant impact on the advancement of EB-2 Members of
the Professions Holding Advanced Degrees or Persons of Exceptional Ability
visa numbers for the month of May. Per Mr. Oppenheim:
"[US]CIS says they have seen a decline in filings, and does not expect a
change in the number use pattern. Therefore, this decline in EB-1 number use
will allow me to begin having those ‘otherwise unused' numbers drop down
and be available for use in the EB-2 category. Based on current indications,
that would mean that at least 12,000 additional numbers will be available
to the EB-2 category. This situation will allow me to advance the India EB-2
cut-off date for May. The reason being that all ‘otherwise unused' numbers
are provided strictly in priority date order, and the India demand has the
largest concentration of early dates."
According to Mr. Oppenheim, the fall-off in demand for EB-1 Priority Workers
numbers began in October 2010.
