MU Law Analysis
We were again encouraged to see slow, steady improvement of dates in mostcategories. Philippine and All OtherEB-3 moved ahead one month. IndiaEB-3 advanced one month. We wouldnot be surprised to see a few more small progressions this fiscal year in thesecategories. China EB-3 unfortunatelydid not move ahead.
There was modest progression of All Other EB-2 dates of two weeks,although India and China EB-2 remained the same as last month.
