The Department of State has released the Visa
Bulletin for November 2009 containing immigrant visa projections for the
coming month. The Visa Bulletin provides the summary of the updates on the current
cut-off date for the month of November 2009. Petitions filed, whose current
dates are earlier than the dates indicated in the November 2009 Visa Bulletin,
are now allocated visas or green cards. A priority date that is current but
retrogressed would mean that the applicant needs to wait until it becomes current
again.
The Cut-off dates in employment-based second preference category (EB-2) category
moves forward by a week for China, to April 1, 2005, and will remain January
22, 2005 for India. EB-2 remains current for all other countries.
The following table shows the cut-off dates for the first three employment-based
preference categories in November.
