June 2018 Visa Bulletin























In June's Visa Bulletin, a cut-off date of August 1, 2014 has been imposed for EB-5 Vietnam. EB-5 China advances half month to August 1, 2014. There is no other notable movement for June's Visa Bulletin. For Chinese born applicants, "downgrading" from EB-2 to EB-3 is still a way for them to speed up their immigration process.
