MU Law Analysis
India EB-2 moved ahead by four months, which should allow some long-delayed
Indian nationals to apply for their green cards. Unfortunately, India EB-3 did not move
ahead. There was a note at the end of
this month’s bulletin that says that if EB-5 demand emerges, the surplus of
extra visas that has been flowing into India EB-2 will disappear. This may result in a retrogression of India
EB-2 in future months.
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.
China’s EB-2 and EB-3 numbers remain unchanged for March 2022. We expect low to no progress in these categories for the rest of FY 2022.
