Table B: Dates
of Filing
The USCIS is expected to use the
Table B Dates of Filing chart for I-485 employment-based filings. See: USCIS Visa Bulletin Dates
MU Law Analysis
As is often the case toward the
end of the fiscal year, there was not much movement as the USCIS and DOS seek
to use the remaining visas in the fiscal year. We are repeating the same
message as last month.
EB-3 Other
Workers, which is the category for occupations that require less than two years
of education or experience to perform the job, remains retrogressed to
08May2019. This date will not advance
until October 1, 2022, with the start of the new fiscal year.
The India and China EB-2 categories
remain unchanged. EB-3 India and EB-3
China advanced one month each.
The WW and Philippine EB-3
remained current. We may see a retrogression of WW and Philippine EB-3 before
the end of the fiscal year, once the full allotment of visas is exhausted. This
is common, and nothing to be too concerned about, as we have explained in the past.
