June Visa Bulletin reveals worse news for EB-2 Indians The EB-2 category for Indian nationals has retrogressed four years and will be set at January 1, 2000 for applications received beginning June 1st. If you are from China, the backlog is five years less - February 15, 2005. And if you are from any other country in the world, there is no wait at all.
It is appalling that Congress allows such an unjust distribution methodology to remain the law. No country is permitted to claim more than 7% of the numbers in a green card category. That means tiny countries get the same number of green cards as the world's most populous nations. And a country like India that disproportionately produces skilled immigrants and qualified professionals is actually punished for doing too good a job. Here is a summary of the June bulletin: EB only Employment 1st - All categories remain current. Employment 2nd - Worldwide, Mexico and the Philippines remain current. India, as noted above, retrogresses to 01 JAN 2000. China remains stalled at 15 FEB 2005. Employment 3rd skilled/professional workers –This category remains unavailable and it is not clear yet when it will again be available. Employment 4th – All categories remain current. Employment 5th – All categories remain current. |
