August 2008 Visa Bulletin Update

We wrote on Friday about the anticipated significant forward movement for EB-2 India.  The August 2008 Visa Bulletin is out now and it confirms our expectation.  In addition, EB-2 China has also moved forward significantly.  Both EB-2 India and China have a date of June 1, 2006 (from April 2004 previously).

Another important update related to the visa bulletin is the unavailability of visas in the “Other Workers” category – they are now unavailable (from April 2003 previously).  The visa bulletin explains that such unavailability is due to the numbers for the “Other Workers” category reaching their annual numerical limit.  It is expected that once the FY 2009 begins in October, the dates should return to April 2003.
