DOS has posted the October 2020 visa bulletin. Along with remaining motion dates and dates for submitting for household and employment-based petitions, it comprises notes on the DV class, the DV class rank cut-offs which can apply in November, motion of the October remaining motion and utility submitting dates, visa availability within the coming months, and the scheduled expiration of two employment classes, together with the employment fourth desire sure spiritual staff (SR) and employment fifth desire classes (I5 and R5). The FY2021 annual restrict for employment-based visas is roughly 261,500.

Replace: Late afternoon on 09/24/2020, USCIS indicated that it’s going to settle for adjustment of standing functions for employment-based petitions primarily based on the Ultimate Motion dates, however round 3:13pm CST the identical webpage seems to have been up to date to now point out that “Dates for Submitting” are for use.

At current, this materials change stays unexplained and is producing important confusion. It goes with out saying that the supply of correct and constant data by USCIS is extraordinarily important, notably on this case, the place “Dates for Submitting” = 5+ years much less wait time for EB3 India.
