December 2008 Visa Bulletin – No Movement

The December 2008 Visa Bulletin is out.   Unfortunately, it does not bring any good news for the employment-based (EB) visa numbers.  All EB categories remain unchanged from the November 2008 Visa Bulletin.

The lack of any movement of the EB visa numbers is likely due to the high number of filings USCIS has received after the opening of the fiscal year 2009 on October 1.  After many of the EB categories were unavailable throughout the summer, there was a high number of applications filed on or shortly after October 1.  We think that the lack of any movement in this month’s Visa Bulletin is intended to control the flow of applications and allow USCIS time to adjust its workflow.
