The DOS has released the October Visa Bulletin and the news is discouraging. The India EB2 category was set at Sept. 1, 2004 although predictions had been made that it would be in 2006 or 2007. The EB3 category for the Philippines did not move at all. Instead of returning to current like expected , the EB2 category for the Philippines and all others was set at Jan 1, 2012. We are hopeful that this type of “movement” is not indicative of what can be expected in fiscal year 2013.
