February 2010 Visa Bulletin – Slow Progress for Some, No Movement for India

The February 2010 Visa Bulletin was just released by the State Department.  The fifth visa bulletin for the fiscal year 2010 and the second for the calendar 2010 does not bring much movement.  There is no movement for India across all employment-based categories.   For many other categories, the only forward movement is in the 1-2 months range.  Here is a summary of the February 2010 Visa Bulletin:

• EB-1 remains current across the board.
• EB-2 ROW remains current, EB-2 China moves forward by three (3) weeks to May 22, 2005, and EB-2 India, again, remains unchanged at January 22, 2005.
• EB-3 ROW moves forward by almost two (2) months to September 22, 2002, EB-3 China moves forward by almost two (2) months also to September 22, 2002, while EB-3 India remains unchanged.
