October 2007 Visa Bulletin Predictions
Posted Aug 02, 2007
We have just confirmed with the U.S. Department of State (DOS) Visa Office that the DOS Visa Bulletin for October 2007 will likely be similar to the DOS Visa Bulletin for January 2007. The January Visa Bulletin, http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/bulletin/bulletin_3100.html, was current for EB1, and EB2 for countries of chargeability other than India and China. The EB2 cut off for China was April 22, 2005; India was January 8, 2003. EB3 cases were all retrogressed, with cut off dates ranging from May 8, 2001 to August 1, 2002.
Expect Dates Similar to Jan. 2007 Bulletin but Caveat
The caveat / warning is that of course, there is no guarantee that the priority dates in October 2007 will be exactly as they were in January 2007. The DOS stated that it will depend upon information from USCIS as to case processing expectations. One should not rely on this information as a basis for delaying the filing of their I-485, Adjustment of Status, case. Those who are eligible to file the I-485 case before August 17th, 2007 should consider filing it, but of course, each person's case will be unique. For example, we know that some people need to and want to delay filing and obtaining their I-485 approval when the person is not yet married and wants to ensure that the spouse will be able to enter the U.S. on H4 dependent status.
Benefit of Sharing this Updated Information
If the DOS projections are accurate, then it may be of some help to those who are out of the country at this time, or for those who are waiting for action on their Labor Certification (LC) case through the U.S. Department of Labor Backlog Processing Centers or if the PERM approval is pending. Many of the pre-PERM LC cases have early priority dates and, particularly for EB2, might get some relief in October 2007, if their cases are not approved in time to file with the USCIS before August 17, 2007. We know that this has been a difficult time for people with BPC cases, all which have priority dates of March 2005 or earlier, as they watch others with later priority dates move forward in filing their I-485s while they must still must wait.
Conclusion
We at the Murthy Law Firm will continue to share the latest information from reliable government sources to help you take advantage of the predictions on the movement of priority dates to file one's I-485 or make other important life decisions.
