Visa Bulletin for September 2013

Last month brought some good news for various preference categories - 2A family preference became current and EB2 for India made a significant jump (more than 3 years).

September 2013 Visa Bulletin has some more good news. 

Family 2A preference 
The category remains current for September. This gives those who are eligible to file their adjustment of status applications some breathing room to prepare their filing. We have processed and filed several applications during August for Adjustment of Status based on an approved or pending I-130 petitions.

Caution! Simply having a 2A preference I-130 filed and/or approved does not automatically mean that you are eligible to apply for adjustment of status. A mistake in filing can be very costly. You should review your case with an attorney to determine your eligibility. (Contact us) 

The predictions are that the F2A category will likely retrogress in October so acting quickly is important.

Employment Based Categories
There is exciting news for India's EB2 category which moved up to June 15, 2008. This is a significant progress from two months ago. EB3 category (except China, India, and the Philippines) also made a significant progress, moving to July 2010.
