In the May 2017 Visa Bulletin, there are small to moderate movements in the employment categories. EB-3 China moves forward by about 6 weeks while EB-3 India only tiptoes forward by 1 day. EB-3 Philippines has 3.5 months of advancement to 01/01/2013. EB-2 India remains at 06/22/2008; EB-2 China advances 3 weeks.
There are moderate movements in the family visa categories. FB-1 for Other Countries, China, India advance 7 weeks to 12/08/2010. F2A for Other Countries, China, India and Philippines advance 5 weeks.
There are also some nice movements in the application filing date charts. However, only overseas applicants will benefit from these movements. USCIS has decided that it will not adopt the filing date charts for applicants applying for adjustment of status in the U.S. for the month of May.
See here for how to apply for Adjustment of Status.
