MU LawAnalysis
This was an eagerlyanticipated Visa Bulletin, but it disappointed. MU continues to believe that the State Department will need toaggressively accelerate the dates in the next few months in order to ensurethat all visas are used in fiscal year 2020. The fact that the State Department did not include any comments at theend of the Visa Bulletin, after such a long delay in publication, was alsodiscouraging. MU will be askingquestions to the DOS in order to try and get more answers. We will publish those answers as they becomeavailable.
