MU Law Analysis

Philippines and All Other EB-3 continued slow, pace forward, moving ahead just over 60 days to November 2022. China and India EB-3 remained at September 1, 2020 and while India progressed just one month to August 15, 2012.  

There is a similar story in EB-2.  China and India EB-2 as each moved ahead one month.  Philippines and All Other EB-2 advanced approximately 60 days to January 15, 2023.

MU Law expects similar paced progress in the next few months, followed by a slowdown and we get closer to the end of the fiscal year over the summer months.
