MU Law Analysis

This month again there was good news and bad news for the retrogressed EB-2 and EB-3 categories.  The DOS did not move the Indian and Chinese EB-3s.  However, the dates for India and China EB-2 did progress.  India EB-2 moved ahead by about six months.  China EB-2 advanced by six weeks. 

The news remains positive for Philippines and Worldwide EB-3, where dates held at Current.  They are expected to stay Current for the foreseeable future.
