September Visa Bulletin: F2A Advances; EB-2 India, China Stagnant

August 11th, 2011 Tushar Mathur
 The September 2011 Visa Bulletin has been released by the State Department. On the employment side, there is not much movement.  As the FY2011 is coming to an end, many employment visa beneficiaries were hoping that there would be some nice movements in EB-2 and EB-3 preference categories.  However, for September, both Eb-2 China and Eb-2 India remain unchanged at 15 April 2007, although EB-3 and Other Workers have some small movements. 

Things are mixed on the family side.  F1 is unchanged again for China, India and the Other Countries but  advances more than six months and one week respectively for Philippines and Mexico.  There are some significant movements in F2A (lawful residents’ spouses and children).  F2A has advanced more than four months for China, India, Philippines and the Other Countries to 1 December 2008.  F2A Mexico also moves forward to 22 September 2008.

Seattle Immigration Lawyer | Employment-Based Visa Preferences

October 26th, 2010 Tushar Mathur

Returning to my series on obtaining a green card based on a job offer, when deciding whether to apply for an immigrant visa you must determine which employment-based preference category you fall into.

The first three employment-based immigrant visa preferences are as follows:

First Preference (EB-1): Persons of extraordinary ability in the sciences, arts, education, business or athletics; outstanding professors or researchers; and multinational executives and managers. (No Labor Cert. required.)

First Preference is known as the category for “priority” workers. Needless to say, the vast majority of immigrants do not meet the criteria.

The Green Card Process – Pavement to be an NRI

February 7th, 2010 Tushar Mathur

Every Indian desires to stay abroad, work there and to spend rest of his life proudly as an NRI. To implement this desire into reality is not a one go process; it takes its own time and rigorous formalities to get a Permanent Residential Card from US government also known as Green Card.

A Green card permits an alien to reside and take employment in USA. It is an Identification card, serves as a proof that card holder is a Lawful Permanent Resident (LPR) and has been legally granted immigration benefits.

Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) is an agency formerly responsible to issue Green cards.
