In May, there are moderate advancements in the family visa categories. Family 3rd and 4th advance two months for Other Countries and China.
Employment categories:
Employment 1st Other Countries advance 3 months.
Employment 1st India and China are unchanged.
Employment 2nd China advances 2 months.
Employment 2nd India is unchanged.
Employment 3rd China and India are unchanged.
One of the bright spot in employment categories is Employment 3rd Philippines, which jumps forward by 3 months to 10/1/2018.
Compared to the family petitions, employment petitions are a better alternative for Filipino nationals to immigrate to the United States. Employers may petition for professionals or health care workers (nurses, technicians, home care aides, etc.) or other blue-collar workers from the Philippines a lot faster now.
