Table B: Dates of Filing

The USCIS will use the Table A Final Action chart for I-485 employment-based filings. See: USCIS Visa Bulletin Dates

MU Law Analysis

This Visa Bulletin essentially means that there will not be any more employment-based immigrant visas issued this fiscal year.  The August Visa Bulletin will likely retrogress or make unavailable all EB-3 dates.
