July 2021 Visa Bulletin: India EB-3 advances to January 2013

 

As expected, there are rapid advancements in July's Visa Bulletin.  

EB-2 continues to be current for all countries.
EB-3 India advances about 14 months to 01/01/2013. 
EB-2 India advances about 6 months to 06/01/2011.
EB-3 China advances 4 months to 01/01/2019.
EB-2 China advances about 7 months to 12/01/2017. 

"Downgrading" from EB-2 to EB-3 is still available for Indian and Chinese applicants who want to speed up their green card application process and file their I-485 applications sooner.  We have successfully assisted many applicants in downgrading cases. 

Family visa categories have also advanced nicely in July for almost all countries. 

EB-5 for Vietname (non-regional center) has also advanced almost 2 years to 04/01/2020.
