MU Law Analysis

The DOS’ comments at the end of this Visa Bulletin confounds.  They predict that the DOS will enact priority date cut-offs (retrogression) with the November Visa Bulletin.  Most prior DOS predictions did not call for a retrogression.

It remains to be seen if this prediction holds true, and if it does, how long it lasts.  It seems certain that there are many numbers available.  This could be the DOS trying to slow inquiries by being able to point to the retrogression.

  1. Hi Attorney
    How come they are talking about Eb3 worldwide retrogression? They were talking about not used number and it will be current foreseeable future. Do you have any idea how far back the date can go for Eb3 worldwide final action date? Thank you

  3. Hi Atty, Due to the interview scheduling backlog, can you advise if it is possible to use the B1/B2 visa and then adjust status to EB3?
