Our Insights
USCIS has indicated that Table B remains in effect for Family-based cases this month.
Cases that moved forward last month have seen no progress this month, while those that didn’t progress last month have moved forward now.
For Employment-based cases, Table A is still in use.
Surprisingly, EB2 has moved forward by almost two months, while EB3 moved forward as expected by one month.
It seems that the early months of no progress are now being compensated. However, the lack of movement in most categories suggests that the green card issuance for this fiscal year may be nearing its end.
As more interviews are being scheduled, it’s reassuring to see no signs that the Trump-era interview requirements will be reinstated for all cases.
We strongly recommend that immigrants consult with their immigration attorney or consultant if you’re unsure about which application to file or if you haven’t submitted your case yet. If you haven’t found an attorney or consultant, contact us now!
