MU Law Analysis
There was not much to report this month. This Visa Bulletin showed no real movement inthe categories, which was a bit surprising, although probably reflects thereality that very few immigrant visas are being issued overseas, and the USCISis backlogged in immigrant visa processing. Therefore, any movement in the categories was probably unnecessary. USCIS’ backlog is expected to get worse inlight of their forthcomingfurloughs.
MU Law expects thefavorable employment-based visa dates to continue next fiscal year. We explained why on thisblog post.
