EB-2 (Including NIW) Cut-Off Dates Move Forward One Year

According to visa bulletin for May 2006 released by Department of State on April 7, 2006, cut-off date continues to move forward for those people born in mainland China who filed employment-based immigration petitions. Cut-off date of EB1 moves from January 1, 2004 to July 1, 2004 (6 months). Cut-off date of EB2 (including NIW) moves from January 1, 2003 to January 1, 2004 (12 months). Cut-off date of EB3 remains unchanged (May 1, 2001).

We predict that EB-2 and EB-1 keep moving quickly in the next a few months. Therefore, if you consider applying for employment-based immigration and have an option to choose any one of these categories, EB-1 and EB-2 (including NIW) should be the first choice. In addition, if you need to file labor certification petition and can choose to file it under EB-2 or EB-3, EB-2 PERM is definitely the best choice due to cut-off date advantage of EB-2.

In addition, we predict that, by the end of this year, cut-off date of EB-1 will become current, and cut-off date of EB-2 moves to 2005.
