MU Law Analysis
Both the Philippines and Worldwide (All Other) EB-3 continue
to be current. Our opinion remains that these categories will stay current for
the foreseeable future and into 2022.
EB-1 remains current for all categories. This will certainly be the case for the rest
of the fiscal year and into FY 2022. India
EB-2 advanced by three months, which shows that the demand for this
category remains strong. India EB-3
again moved ahead by six months in spite of widespread reports of downgrades
from EB-2 to EB-3. This category has
advanced by one year in just two months, meaning that the DOS is trying to
encourage EB-3 applications.
China
EB-2 showed a three-month
advancement, which is encouraging.
On the
other hand, EB-3 remained the same, indicating exhaustion of this
category’s visas for FY 2021.
