U.S. Department of State Releases April 2010 Visa Bulletin
The U.S. Department of State (DOS) released the Visa Bulletin for the month of April 2010.
The EB-1 categories are all current. All chargeability areas, Mexico
and Philippines are current for EB-2. The cut-offs dates for the
remaining EB-2 categories are August 22, 2005 for China and February 1,
2005 for India. For the EB-3 categories, the cut off dates are as
follows: All Chargeability - February 1, 2003, China - February 1, 2003, India - September 8, 2001, Mexico - July 1, 2002 and Philippines - February 1, 2003.
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 applications during the month of April 2010.
The Visa Bulletin provides information regarding the availability of
immigrant visas each month, based on predetermined numerical limits set
by law. When the numerical limits are met for a particular immigrant
visa category that category is considered oversubscribed. When a
category is oversubscribed it is then issued a cut-off date that
determines when an individual is eligible to apply for an immigrant
visa based on that individual’s priority date.
The Visa Bulletin is updated on a monthly basis and we will provide
updates regarding the availability of immigrant visas as they occur.
