In July, as predicted previously, EB-2 India finally advances after seven (7) months of absolutely no movement. EB-2 India moves forward to 09/01/08 from 11/15/04, a 45 1/2 months jump! This is certainly good news for Indian nationals who have pending EB-2 cases. For those Indians whose priority dates are current, they should file their green card applications as soon as possible.
EB-3 India moves forward to 11/01/03. EB-2 China advances to 07/01/09. Another significant move is EB3/Other Workers for Philippines, which move forward by one (1) year to 01/01/2009.
For family immigration, F2A (spouses and children of permanent residents) remains unchanged at 05/01/12 for most countries. There are some slight movements in most other family visa categories too. F1 Philippines advances seven (7) months to 01/01/03.
1st: Priority Workers (Extraordinary ability aliens, multinational companies executives/managers, outstanding prof./researchers)
