WHERE’S THE AUGUST VISA BULLETIN?

No news was released yesterday on how the CIS will be handling the July visa bulletin mess. However, considering the Department of State’s delay in issuing the August Visa Bulletin, I suspect something is brewing. Normally Visa Bulletins are issued within the first ten days of the previous month (although the July bulletin came out on June 12th). Stay tuned for further developments.

  1. Highlights of August bulletin

    D. JULY EMPLOYMENT-BASED VISA AVAILABILITY

    After consulting with Citizenship and Immigration Services, the Visa Office advises readers that Visa Bulletin #107 (dated June 12) should be relied upon as the current July Visa Bulletin for purposes of determining Employment visa number availability, and that Visa Bulletin #108 (dated July 2) is hereby withdrawn.

    Is “withdrawn” here in the sense that visa numbers may be available for the applicants in July?

  2. Yes. It means that the original July visa bulletin where all EB numbers except for Other Workers were current, will stand.

    Therefore, I-485 applications that were current in July will be accepted for adjudication and interim benefits will be available to eligible applicants (Employment Authorizations, Travel Documents).
