Report Link All EB-3 numbers used up for FY2009.
Baker, Donelson, Bearman, Caldwell & Berkowitz, PC - April 09, 2009
The State Department's May 2009 Visa Bulletin announces that all visa numbers for the employment third preference are used up until October 1. Persons with adjustment of status applications filed and receipted already can continue "in abeyance" with interim work and travel, as appropriate. Immigrant visa appointments already scheduled should go forward. It would appear that USCIS will continue to receive through the end of April adjustment of status applications based on "priority dates" that were current in the April Visa Bulletin, given the debacle of previous years when it was handled otherwise.
Report Link State Department Issues February 2008 Visa Bulletin declaring India EB-2 Unavailable Effective Immediately.
Littler Mendelson, P.C. - January 15, 2008
On January 9, 2008, the U.S. Department of State ("DOS") released the February 2008 Visa Bulletin. DOS explicitly announces that as of January 9, 2008, the annual limit of employment based second preference category (EB-2) immigrant visa numbers for Indian nationals has been reached and that the India EB-2 category is "unavailable" effective immediately. This is a departure from regular visa bulletins that provide only information about the visa availability for the referenced month. As a result of this news, individuals in the India EB-2 category who had a priority date that was current and expected the cutoff date to be viable until the end of the month (January 31) can no longer file an adjustment of status (AOS) application or obtain an immigrant visa at a US consulate abroad.
