As predicted earlier by the Visa Bureau, the following happened in May 2014:
India EB-2 and EB-3: Stand still for EB-2, and 2-week move for EB-3. It is
likely that Indian EB professionals may have to wait until 4th Quarter that
begins in July 2014 to see what they want. That was earlier prediction.
China EB-2 and EB-3: EB-3 cut-off date still remains better than EB-2 despite
EB-2 Chinese have upgraded their EB-2 cases to EB-3. For that part, it is a good
news for them.
Worldwide EB-2 and EB-3: Frustration continues.
Visa Bureau prediction for F-2A for the spouses and minor children of LPR for
the coming months:
WORLDWIDE F2A: From early 2013 through September 2013, the level of demand for
numbers in this preference category was extremely low. As a result, the F2A
cut-off date was advanced at a very rapid pace, in an attempt to generate demand
so that the annual numerical limit could be fully utilized. As readers of the
Visa Bulletin were advised during that time, such cut-off date advances were not
expected to continue, and at some point they could stop, or retrogression might
be required.. The level of demand being experienced for FY-2014 has resulted in
the Worldwide F2A cut-off date being held since October. Despite no forward
movement of the cut-off date, the level of demand has continued to increase
dramatically. At the current rate, such demand will require a retrogression of
the F2A cut-off date within the next several months. That action would be
necessary to hold number use within the annual numerical limit..
MEXICO F2A: Despite an earlier retrogression of this cut-off date, the level of
demand remains extremely heavy. As a result, it is likely that another
retrogression of this cut-off date will be required to hold number use within
the annual numerical limit.
