June Visa Bulletin Shows Retrogression in Family and Employment Categories;
Visa Predictions
The Department of State Visa Bulletin for the month of June brings major
retrogression in the Family 2A Preference, for spouses and unmarried
children under 21 of permanent residents. The F2A priority date will move
back 1.5 years to May 1, 2012 for most of the world, while F2A for Mexico
shows further retrogression to March 15, 2011. The rest of the family based
categories show movement of a few weeks to a few months in most cases.
On the employment-based side, June also brings severe retrogression in most
EB-3 categories, reversing a trend in recent months. China EB-3 will
retrogress 6 years to October 1, 2016, and China "other workers" will
retrogress 9.5 years to January 1, 2003. EB-3 for India will move forward
two weeks to October 15, 2003. EB-3 (including "other workers") for the rest
of the world and Mexico will also retrogress 1.5 years to April 1, 2011,
except for the Philippines which moves forward to January 1, 2011. EB-2 for
India remains at November 15, 2004 and China EB-2 advances five weeks to May
22, 2009.
Visa Chief Charles Oppenheim recently advised Mr. XXX(律师的名字) that the
July India EB-2 cut-off date will be September 1, 2008, which means
significant movement is expected. Mr. Oppenheim plans to then advance the
date to 2009 for August, and another move in September. The extent of the
movements will depend on his estimates of "otherwise unused" EB-1 and EB-2
numbers when the cut-off dates for those months are determined. Mr.
Oppenheim predicts that by the end of September the movements in the next
few months with the India EB-2 cut-off date will allow over 15,000
applicants to adjust.
Mr. Oppenheim further predicts that the September India EB-2 cut-off date
will likely to hold for October, but can be expected to retrogress as early
as November. That retrogression will become necessary as soon as the
processing of the new (July-Sept.) filings results in a significant increase
in adjustment requests for applicants with very early priority dates.
According to notes in the Visa Bulletin, priority dates for the Family F2A
category have retrogressed as a result of a dramatic increase in demand
earlier this fiscal year. Further retrogression cannot be ruled out should
demand by applicants with very early priority dates continue to increase.
Retrogression in the employment-based categories is a result of unexpected
and dramatic increase in demand being received from U.S. Citizenship and
Immigration Service Offices during the past several months. "Notices were
included in several Visa Bulletins during the past year alerting readers to
the possibility of such retrogressions. While corrective action in some
categories has become necessary earlier than was anticipated based on the
information available earlier, it is hoped that readers are not caught off
guard by these retrogressions."
Note that persons in the US whose priority dates will become current in June
cannot file an application for adjustment of status until June 1, except
for Diversity Visa applicants, who can file a month in advance of their
priority date becoming current. We expect that once an application is filed,
in order to use all the available visa numbers, USCIS will aggressively
move to schedule applicants for biometrics and adjudicate these cases
quickly. Applicants should ensure that their attorneys push USCIS to move on
their cases before any retrogression can occur.
We will keep you posted as we receive more information on future predictions
of visa availability. More information can be found at the Visa Bulletin
website.
