SEPTEMBER 2012 VISA Bulletin

The Department of State has released its latest Visa Bulletin.

Click here to view the September 2012 Visa Bulletin.

The September 2012 Visa Bulletin shows employment based second preference (EB-2) as oversubscribed with no numbers presently available in the EB2 classification for China and India. Employment based third preference (EB-3) visas are also listed as oversubscribed.

According to the Visa Bulletin, numbers will be available for China and India Employment Based Second Preference cases beginning October 1, 2012 under the FY2013 numerical limitations. Every effort will be made to return the China and India EB2 cut-off date to the May 1, 2010 date which had been reached in April 2012.

Note: Readers should be advised that it is impossible to accurately estimate how long that may take, but current indications are that it would definitely not occur before Spring 2013.

**The priority date is current if there is no backlog in the category, or if the priority date is on or before the date listed as current in the State Department’s monthly Visa Bulletin.
