The recently released first Visa Bulletin of 2015 continues with the trend of recent months. Employment Third categories continue to advance.
EB-3 advances seven (7) months to June 1, 2013 for Philippines, Mexico and Other Countries.
EB-3 China advances nine (9) months to Mar. 1, 2011, far exceeding EB-2 China, which only moves forward by one (1) month to Feb. 1, 2010.
