February 2009 Visa Bulletin – Some Forward Movement

The February 2009 Visa Bulletin is out.  It brings some good forward movement for some employment-based categories.  Unfortunately, EB-3 ROW and EB-3 India remain unchanged.

  • EB-2 ROW remains current.  EB-2 India and EB-2 China both move forward by approximately 6 months.  EB-2 India is now at January 1, 2004 while EB-2 China is at January 1, 2005.
  • EB-3 ROW remains unchanged at May 1, 2005.  EB-3 India remains unchanged at October 15, 2001.  EB-3 China moves forward by 4 months to October 1, 2002.

The forward movement of certain EB-2 India/China and EB-3 China categories makes many applicants eligible for adjustment of status filing.  Please contact our office if we can provide you with any assistance with your adjustment of status application or if you have any questions in connection with the February 2009 Visa Bulletin.
