MU Law Analysis
You will notice that we have added another row, Other Workers. These are EB-3’s for occupations that require less than two years of education or experience to perform the job. Among healthcare occupations, there are most commonly nurse aides. The retrogression to 08May2019 probably reflects full usage of this category in this fiscal year.
For the other categories, we saw exceptional news for India EB-2, which advanced a full year. All EB-1, along with Worldwide and Philippine EB-3 remained current. We do expect a retrogression of WW and Philippine EB-3 before the end of the fiscal year. This is common, as we have explained in the past.
EB-3 India and EB-3 China will remain unchanged from May. We do not expect forward progress in these categories for the rest of the fiscal year.
