AILA regularly
checks in with Charlie Oppenheim, who is the Department of State’s guru on Visa
Bulletin numbers. Their most recent Check
In with Charlie contains projections for 2015. Here are his projections for several major
visa categories.
India EB-2. This category had stagnated for a long time
until the recent March 2015 Visa Bulletin that progressed the date by 16
months, to January 2007. Charlie expects
that India EB-2 will continue to progress at a very steady rate in the upcoming
months.
Philippines EB-3. Demand for Philippine EB-3 remains lower than
expected, which is good news for those in this category. He does not see the demand on the horizon,
which leads to his projection that Philippine EB-3 should run parallel to
Worldwide EB-3. He cautions that if the
nursing demand returns, a correction may be required for this category.
Worldwide EB-3. The Worldwide EB-3 has
advanced in the past few months in order to spur demand. If the demand continues to stay soft, the
progressions will continue. If the
demand picks up, the Worldwide EB-3 number will slow down.
China EB-2 and EB-3. Low demand for Chinese family-based visas has
buoyed the China EB-2 and EB-3 categories.
The EB-2 continues to run behind the EB-3 category, although the gap
between the two appears to be tightening.

ReplyDelete@Sanj- Not yet. But it has been sent to the OMB, which usually means that an announcement is imminent.
