September 2010 Employment Based Visa Bulletin

The Department of State released the new visa bulletin for September 2010 on August 11, 2010.

For the month of September, the EB-1 category was current for both Chinese and Indian nationals. In the EB-2 category, the cut-off dates moved forward more than two months for both Chinese nationals (from March 1, 2006 to May 8, 2006) and Indian nationals (from March 1, 2006 to May 8, 2006). In the EB-3 category, the cut-off dates moved forward from September 22, 2003 to October 22, 2003 for Chinese nationals while the cut-off dates stayed the same as they were in August for Indian nationals (January 1, 2002).   

For the month of August, the EB-1 category was current for both Chinese and Indian nationals. In the EB-2 category, the cut-off dates moved forward more than three months for Chinese nationals (from November 22, 2005 to March 1, 2006), and moved forward five months for Indian nationals (from October 1, 2005 to March 1, 2006). In the EB-3 category, the cut-off dates moved forward from August 15, 2003 to September 22, 2203 and from November 22, 2001 to January 1, 2002 for Chinese and Indian nationals respectively.
   
Due to the economic crisis, there have been fewer applicants for PERM EB-2 this fiscal year. When visa numbers were open to all categories in June and July 2007, USCIS received an increased number of I-140 and I-485 petitions. USCIS is currently reviewing these cases. From January to July 2010, our firm received 112 EB-1 case approvals and 142 NIW case approvals.

As predicted, the cut-off dates, for the most part, have continued to move forward. For Chinese and Indian recipients of EB-2s, the cut-off date this month moved up considerably. We hope to see this same trend next month.
