January 2008 Visa Bulletin : EB2 India Retrogression
The U.S. Department of State (DOS) Visa Bulletin for January 2008
contains more bad news for Indian nationals in the EB2 category. The
cutoff date for EB2, India, retrogressed by two additional years, to
January 1, 2000. Moreover, the prediction contained in the Visa Bulletin
for EB2, India, is that the annual limit could be reached within the
next few months. If this occurs, the category will become "unavailable"
for the remainder of the fiscal year.
The explanation for this is simply that demand for visa numbers by the
USCIS for EB2, India, adjustment-of-status cases far exceeds supply. We
sympathize with MurthyDotCom and MurthyBulletin readers
who will begin to face further delays in their cases as a result.
The current Visa Bulletin chart is always
available on MurthyDotCom, as well as that of the
previous month. EB3 cutoff dates either
remained unchanged or moved slightly forward, depending upon country of
chargeability. The January Visa Bulletin cutoff dates become effective
on January 1, 2008. Until that time, the December 2007 Visa Bulletin
cutoff dates remain valid.
