MU LawAnalysis
As wementioned last month, we have recently added another row, EB-3 OtherWorkers. These are EB-3’s foroccupations that require less than two years of education or experience toperform the job. Among healthcareoccupations, nurse aides are the common. The retrogression to 08May2019 probably reflects full usage of thiscategory in this fiscal year.
The Indiaand China EB-2 categories each advanced. India improved by three months and China improved by one month.
EB-3 India and EB-3 China will remain unchanged from May, as they did in June. We do not expect forward progress in thesecategories for the rest of the fiscal year.
The WWand Philippine EB-3 remained current. We may see a retrogression of WW and Philippine EB-3 before the end ofthe fiscal year, once the full allotment of visas is exhausted. Thisis common, and nothing to be too concerned about, as we have explained in the past.
