Trump's overseas immigration ban has the side effect of freeing up many visa numbers, indirectly benefiting the applicants in the US. There are some nice advancements in July's Visa Bulletin.
- EB-1 India cutoff date advances to 05/08/2017. EB-1 China moves forward to 08/22/2017.
- EB-2 India advances to 07/08/2009; EB-2 China to 11/08/2015.
- EB-3 India and China also advance to 06/01/2009 and 06/22/2016 respectively. Other EB-3 categories advance to 04/15/18.
- EB-5 is current for all countries including India. China and Vietnam continue to have cutoff dates.
- Family 1st (F-1) also move forward. Philippines advance 4 months to 06/01/2011.
*Note - President Trump issued an Executive Order to bar overseas immigrants, H-1B, L-1, J-1 visas from entering the U.S. until the end of 2020, with exceptions.
