The U.S. State Department released the June Visa Bulletin, showing no advancement in most key employment-based categories. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services confirmed that in June it will use Final Action Dates to determine filing eligibility.
India EB-3 advanced by one week to Aug. 22, 2012. Other priority dates remained unchanged.
Final Action Dates for Employment-Based Preference Cases:
Additional Information: June will mark the fourth straight month that USCIS will use Final Action Dates to determine employment-based filing eligibility. The agency will continue to use Dates for Filing to determine family-based eligibility. In the April Visa Bulletin, the State Department said it anticipated “very little to no forward movement” in the coming months. In the June Visa Bulletin, the State Department said that because of high demand in the employment second and third categories, worldwide Final Action Dates (including Mexico and the Philippines) will likely retrogress in the next Visa Bulletin.
