The August visa bulletin is bringing good news to EB applicants:
- EB-1 China and India remain current.
- EB-2 China advances 121 days.
- EB-3 India advances 6 months.
- EB-5 Vietnam becomes current.
The I5 and R5 categories in the final action date chart remain unavailable as the EB-5 Regional Center Program expired at the end of June.
Family categories are advancing gradually as well.
In August, USCIS will use the FD Chart for family-based applications (F2A applicants may file using the Final Action Date Chart) and the AD Chart for employment-based applications for I-485 case acceptance.
