EB2 WILL BE CURRENT OCTOBER 1, 2012

The Department of State’s Visa Office head Charlie Oppenheim met with the American Immigration Lawyers Association on June 19, 2012 to discuss the recent retrogression of EB-2 dates in All Other Countries, including the Philippines. Mr. Oppenheim has confirmed that he expects that the All Other Countries EB2 date will return to Current on October 1, 2012, which is the beginning of US Fiscal Year 2013.

Readers should note that the All Other EB-2 date shortly will become Unavailable. This will not impact the Current date on October 1, 2012.

Mr. Oppenheim also confirmed that EB-2 China and India will be August/September 2007 on October 1, 2012. He expects that the India and China EB-2 dates will remain in 2007 for the first several months of FY 2013.

  2. Hi k.sh - There is a rumor that a deal has been cut between Sen Grassley and Sen. Schumer. It is unknown if and when it will eventually make it into law. There is supposed to be a "phase-in" component to it and so it remains to be seen how great the immediate impact is.
