The last Visa Bulletin from the Department of State for the Fiscal Year 2007 just came out and as anticipated and reported in our earlier postings, ALL employment based visa availability is seriously backlogged. Specifically, all EB-3 are simply “Unavailable” for people from China, India and Mexico and for the rest of the world as well as all other categories for all countries are assigend a Jan. 1, 2007 priority date. This situation is only getting worse, because this special and dramatic July Visa Bulletin related filings during the extended time window until Aug. 17, 2007 or this Friday have not been accounted for just yet, and when all those numbers get entered into the system one can only imagine the backlog is definitely not going to improve soon. So, if you have not yet filed your affected employment based cases, if eligible, you need to contact us IMMEDIATELY and for those existing clients whom we already filed the I-485 and other derivative applications, a long wait is anticipated until their I-485 can be actually adjudicated. But, the good thing is once your I-485 is filed, you don’t have to worry about your H-1B renewal any more and you are eligible to apply for advanced parole for travel purpose and your spouse can even get an EAD to start working as well.
If you are an existing client, please go to our “Existing Clients ”.
