The Department of State released the latest visa bulletin for September 2014 on August 12, 2014. 

For the month of September 2014, the EB-1 category is still current for nationals all over the world. 

In EB-2 category, the cut-off dates remain unchanged on October 8, 2009 for Chinese Mainland nationals while the cut-off dates move forward from January 22, 2009 to May 1, 2009 for Indian nationals. The EB-2 visa numbers are available for applicants of all other countries and regions except China-Mainland and India. 

In the EB-3 category, the cut-off dates remain unchanged on November 1, 2008 for Chinese Mainland nationals while the cut-off dates remain unchanged on November 8, 2003 for Indian nationals too. 

For the recently popular EB-5 investment immigration, the visa number now is still current world wide even though more people are submitting their applications. 

We recommend that you file your NIW petition as soon as possible if you are qualified for a NIW but not so good for an EB-1. In fact, we always encourage our clients to file a NIW petition if they are qualified. For the year of 2008, our firm received 402 NIW approvals. For the year of 2009, our firm received 430 NIW approvals. For the year of 2010, our firm received 223 NIW approvals. For the year of 2011, our firm received 286 NIW approvals. For the year of 2012, our firm received 351 NIW approvals and 245 EB-1 approvals. From the year of 2013, our firm received 357 NIW approvals and 216 EB-1 approvals. From January to July 2014, our firm received 111 NIW approvals and 139 EB-1 approvals. 

After NIW is approved, you may also apply for EB-1 if you get more and greater achievements. Before you start the application process, it is imperative that you consult with a highly trained legal professional. If you are interested in filing a NIW or EB-1 but not sure if you are qualified, please contact Attorney Jerry Zhang at jzhang@hooyou.com. He will provide you with a free evaluation.
