Last month, we spotted some language written by the State Department in the August Visa Bulletin which indicated that certain categories might advance rapidly in the September 2010 Visa Bulletin.
And for many thousands of people, the September Visa Bulletin is a dream-come-true. Not for those with India and China employment-based (EB) priority dates who have waiting in line for much too long (Did you hear that, Congress?).
For who then?
For those in the worldwide EB-3 category for instance. For professionals and skilled workers, the numbers advanced over 5 months in September while for unskilled workers, the advance was over 10 months.
The worldwide family numbers advanced between 2 and 12 months, much faster than they did back in September 2009. The biggest movers in the worldwide family categories were 2A (spouses and children of permanent residents) and 2B (unmarried adult sons and daughters of permanent residents). 2A advanced 10 months while 2B moved forward one full year!
If people stuck in the worldwide family backlogs have something to cheer about, persons born in the Philippines, a country where demand for visa numbers far outpaces the supply, are positively ecstatic! Family 1st advanced by one full year, 2A by 10 months, 2B by one year, 3rd by 8 months and 4th by 9 months!
Many of our clients have been crying tears of joy because of the September Visa Bulletin.
Hi,
My mother who is an American Citizen applied for her children in July 2002. The children and their kids are in Iran. Our lawyer told us that there is 6.5 years extension because it took INS that long to approve the cases. Can you send me a link that I can read more about this news please?
FYI, A few those kids (my mother's grand children) are over 21 years now, but under 27 years of age.
Thanks,
Jamshid

@ Ugg Boots
I agree with you, with all the USCIS misinterpretating the CSPA and Visa Bulletin that retrogresses... we truly live in a world of bullshit...lol

That's great to hear about the advancement in the 2A movers to the U.S. This is a small step in American policy towards openness.

Don't see too much fawning now. The CSC has become a disaster across all nonimmigrant visa categories

His times using the Bears started to be numbered using the signing of Marion Barber, and any attempts to business him went nowhere.yangchengbin/201110
