Visa Bulletin

The monthly Visa Bulletin (see this article for an explanation of the Visa Bulletin) issued by the Department of State is one of the most closely watched and anticipated government communications in the immigration community.

We receive instant updates and are able to comment and analyze each visa bulletin promptly upon its issuance. Our clients benefit from our visa bulletin efforts by knowing as early in advance as possible about the potential benefits and developments that may arise from forward or backward movements in the visa numbers.

If you would like to learn more about our immigration law practice or if you would like to request our services, please contact us. Additionally, you can subscribe to our email newsletter to receive visa bulletin updates via email as soon as they are available to us.
