The U.S. Department of State (DOS) released the November 2008 Visa Bulletin on October 14, 2008. Visa dates are announced by the DOS every month. Only applicants who have a priority date earlier than the cut-off date may be allotted a number. Should it become necessary during the monthly allocation process to immediately retrogress a cut-off date, supplemental requests for numbers will be honored only if the priority date falls within the new cut-off date.
Slight movements in both the EB-2 and EB-3 Categories however most advancements vary by as little as 3 or 4 months. Unfortunately if you are categorized as an other worker visa numbers have only moved forward by a mere two weeks.
Make sure to stop by our website for the latest updates and information on the DOS Visa Bulletins. Pursuant to INA § 245(a)(3), aliens with priority dates prior to the cut-off dates shown on the Visa Bulletin will be eligible to file adjustment of status (green card) applications during the month of November 2008.
