Visa Backlog Update
March 1, 2007 - The Department of State (DOS) has advised that it
anticipates increased demand for immigrant visas in the employment-based
second (EB2) and third (EB3) categories over the next few months based on
its own data as well as numbers provided by DOL (Department of Labor) and
USCIS (US Citizenship and Immigration Services). DOS also forecasts that:
It is unlikely there will be forward movement of priority date cutoffs in
backlogged categories until at least April 2007. If the anticipated
increased demand materializes, there could be further retrogression in
priority date cutoffs. Alternatively, if the anticipated demand does not
materialize, there could be forward movement in the spring and summer.
The "Worldwide" category for EB-1 and EB-2 are expected to stay current for
the rest of the fiscal year (through September 30).
The EB-2 China and EB-2 India categories are not likely to move forward
until May; however we may see some forward movement in the spring or summer.
The EB-3 China and EB-3 Mexico categories may become unavailable this summer
(as early as May or June), and EB3 India may retrogress at that time
