MU Law Analysis
All Other: Although All Other EB-1
has a slight retrogression, the EB-2 category remained current and is expected
to remain current for the foreseeable future.
The EB-3 is current, but the DOS expects to implement a retrogression in
March.
China: EB-2 did not move,
although EB-3 progressed by a month. The
EB-2 and EB-3 each progressed about one month.
Over the course of FY2020 we expect EB-2 and EB-3 to remain within a few
months of each other.
India: There was virtually no progress for
India. We continue to expect very little
progress in either category in future months.
Philippines: We were
encouraged by the three-month progression in EB-3. We remain surprised by the slow progress of
EB-3, although we were encouraged by this month’s progression. We think that
there is a chance of continued progression in the next few months, although the
enactment of All Other EB-3 retrogression may mean that fewer visas are
available for the Philippines.
