April Visa Bulletin

03/14/08) - The US State Department issued its April Visa Bulletin. The status for the visas are as follows:
EB1 - all current.EB2 - all current, except China (Dec 1, 2003), and India (Dec 1, 2003).EB3 - all countries (July 1, 2005), China (Feb 8, 2003), India (Oct 1, 2001), Mexico (Mar 1, 2002), Philippines (July 1, 2005)."

Since last month, the Philippines and "All other Countries" moved forward 6 months, from January 1st to July 1st. China and India mover forward, but only by approximately 3 months.

If the trend continues, the Philippines and "All other Countries" will be current by later this year. Hope still remains high that the US Congress will take action to re-issue 61,000 unused visas for use by nurses. This would bring the backlog of visa applications filed by nurses up to date.
