Last month, the October Visa Bulletin was released by the US Department of State after being delayed providing significant improvements in priority dates for certain employment-based categories. This month, the November Visa Bulletin is similarly delayed. A liaison between the US Department of State and the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) revealed that this was not due to the priority dates themselves, but due internal discussions about the language in the bulletin. AILA expects to see positive movement and that USCIS will continue using Dates of Filing in November.
We will provide updates as our team at International Legal and Business Services Group learns more about updates in the November Visa Bulletin. If you or someone you may know could benefit or if you have any questions about immigration, please contact us and get the right advice.
