2014 Visa Bulletin Predictions

DOS Visa Bulletin Predictions Made in October 2014:

The Department of State published their predictions on monthly cutoff date movement for the next few months in the November 2014 Visa Bulletin:

  • EB1: Current
  • EB2:
    • Worldwide: Current
    • China: Three to five weeks
    • India: No forward movement
  • EB3:
    • Worldwide: Continued rapid forward movement for the next several months. After such rapid advance of the cut-off date applicant demand for number use, particularly for adjustment of status cases, is expected to increase significantly. Once such demand begins to materialize at a greater rate it will impact this cut-off date situation.
    • China: Rapid forward movement. Such movement is likely to result in increased demand which may require "corrective" action possibly as early as February.
    • India: Little if any movement.
    • Mexico:Will remain at the worldwide date.
    • Philippines: Will remain at the worldwide date. Increased demand may require "corrective" action at some point later in the fiscal year.
  • EB4: Current
  • EB5: Current
  • Family-Sponsored worldwide dates:
    • F1: Two to three weeks.
    • F2A: Three to five weeks.
    • F2B: Six to eight weeks.
    • F3: One to three weeks.
    • F4: Two or four weeks.

    • China: Three to five weeks
