For June, the
status ofChina
and India Employment Second preference (EB-2) categories has become “unavailable.”
The recent increases in the volume of filings for these visa categories have resulted
in major retrogression in the May visa bulletin to August 2007, and
unavailability of visa number in June’s bulletin. The State Department explained that the
upgrading of cases from the EB-3 category to the EB-2 category is also a major
reason for the exhaustion of visa numbers.
In order to avoid jeopardizing the availability of visa numbers for
“other countries”, the State Department decided to make EB-2 unavailable forChina and India till the end of this fiscal
year. However, the State Department also
states that they will try their best to return the China and India Employment EB-2
cut-off date to May 1, 2010 (reached in April 2012) as soon as possible,
although it will not likely to happen before Spring 2013.
