Little movement in the family numbers (except that the Family 2B date actually moved backwards by six weeks).
On the employment side, no changes in the EB-1 and EB-2 numbers. Indian and Chinese nationals are still stuck at April 1, 2004 in the EB-2 category.
The big news is in the EB-3 category for skilled workers which is now unavailable. In June, folks with priority dates earlier than March 2006 (except for China, India and Mexico) were being processed. For at least July and probably until September, no cases are going to be completed. The EB-3 category for other workers (those who are not skilled or professional) is still available for those with priority dates before January 1, 2003.
You can see the Bulletin here.
what's d good news in EB-3? is it good when the visa is unavailable? couldnt understand the visa bulletin anyway..

Thanks for your help and support Greg. I am FB-1 rest of world and am 4 weeks away from my PD being current. Do you have any indication or idea as to movement for this category in the coming months? I am putting off many life events for this and the wait seems unbearable. Any indication would be much much appreciated!! Peace, Val.

Thanks Greg for the updates. This is very frustrating!!!
From you experience, do you think there could be a good move in October when the new visa cycle begins?
Thanks.
