The September 2011 Visa Bulletin has been released by the State Department. On the employment side, there is not much movement. As the FY2011 is coming to an end, many employment visa beneficiaries were hoping that there would be some nice movements in EB-2 and EB-3 preference categories. However, for September, both Eb-2 China and Eb-2 India remain unchanged at 15 April 2007, although EB-3 and Other Workers have some small movements.
Things are mixed on the family side. F1 is unchanged again for China, India and the Other Countries but advances more than six months and one week respectively for Philippines and Mexico. There are some significant movements in F2A (lawful residents' spouses and children). F2A has advanced more than four months for China, India, Philippines and the Other Countries to 1 December 2008. F2A Mexico also moves forward to 22 September 2008.
