The Department of State has just released the October 2011 Visa Bulletin. The October Visa Bulletin is the first Visa Bulletin of US Fiscal Year 2012.
As recently has been the case, the dates moved up slowly but steadily, averaging a one month improvement.
| Oct 2011 Visa Bulletin | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| All Other Countries | China | India | Mexico | |
| EB-2 | Current | 15JUL07 | 15JUL07 | Current |
| EB-3 | 08DEC05 | 08AUG04 | 15JUL02 | 08DEC05 |
The Visa Bulletin included this prediction on future movement of dates:
Employment Second:
China: one to three weeks
India: up to two weeks
Mexico: up to one month
Philippines: up to one month
Worldwide: Current
China and India: The current cut-off date is approaching the most favorable date previously reached for applicants from China and India. The rapid forward movement is intended to generate demand based on new filings for adjustment of status at U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services offices, which currently accounts for over 85% of all Employment-based number use. Once the level of demand increases sufficiently, it may be necessary to slow or stop the cut-off movement, and a retrogression of the cut-offs at some point during the year is a distinct possibility.
