November EB-2 Cut-Off Dates for China and India Most Favorable Since 2007


The Department of State’s Visa Bulletin for November 2011 includes the following:

The November employment-based second preference cut-off date for applicants from China and India is the most favorable since August 2007. This advancement is expected to generate significant levels of demand based on new filings for adjustment of status at U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services offices. While significant future cut-off date movements are anticipated, they may not be made on a monthly basis. Readers should not expect such movements to be the norm throughout the fiscal year, and an eventual retrogression of the cut-off at some point during the year is a distinct possibility.

The November EB-2 cut-off date for China and India is November 1, 2007.
