MU Law Analysis

This was an eagerly anticipated Visa Bulletin, but it disappointed.  MU continues to believe that the State Department will need to aggressively accelerate the dates in the next few months in order to ensure that all visas are used in fiscal year 2020.  The fact that the State Department did not include any comments at the end of the Visa Bulletin, after such a long delay in publication, was also discouraging.  MU will be asking questions to the DOS in order to try and get more answers.  We will publish those answers as they become available.
