The July 2014 visa bulletin was released this morning.
Headline: EB2 India sees a jump forward of 3 years, 9 months and 18 days.
Here is what my readers are looking for:
For all countries except India, China, Philippines, and Mexico: No movement in F2A category since last month’s retrogression leaving priority date at 1 May 2012, F2B preference advanced 30 days with PD at 1 May 2007; F4 category advanced 7 days to PD at 22 December 2001; EB2 is current and, and EB3 sees no movement since last month’s retrogression leaving to PD at 1 April 2011.
For India only: No movement in F2A category since last months retrogression leaving priority date at 1 May 2012, F2B preference advanced 30 days with PD at 1 May 2007; F4 category advanced 7 days to PD at 22 December 2001; EB India sees huge jump forward of 3 years, 9 months and 18 days taking PD to 1 September 2008 and EB3 sees some forward movement of 15 days taking us to priority date 1 November 2003.
With the significant jump forward for EB3 India, it is important for those who are eligible to prepare filing your I-485 package as soon as possible. Please note you cannot file until July 1st and while the priority date remains current for you. Good luck to those who can file!
We will report on the August 2014 visa bulletin when it is released.
