On March 11th, the U.S. released the April 2013 visa bulletin, which is available at http://travel.state.gov/visa/bulletin/bulletin_5900.html. Although there were no surprises in priority date movement, there was forward progression in most of the Employment-based categories. Major changes in priority date movement in the Employment-based categories include EB-2 China moving from February 15, 2008 to April 1, 2008. However, EB-2 India saw no movement. Also EB-3 All Chargeability Areas (commonly known as “rest-of-the-world”) and EB-3 Mexico moved from May 1, 2007 to July 1, 2007. In addition, EB-3 China moved from January 22, 2007 to April 22, 2007. Your GT lawyers will continue to monitor the situation with visa availability dates and will provide updates as we have more information.
