January 2012 Visa Bulletin will be the first bulletin for Q2 - FY 2012. Here is the prediction for January 2012 Visa Bulletin. We should see
following movements in each category as long as USCIS/DOS would use visa
numbers for each category as per statutory allocations.January 2012 Visa Bulletin Predictions
- EB3- China could advance to 22 September 2004
- EB3 – ROW, EB3-Philippines, and EB3-Mexico could advance to 08 February 2006.
- EB2 will be current for ROW, Mexico and Philippines.
- EB3-India could advance to 08 August 2002.
- EB2-India and EB2-China could see No movement - 3.5 months movement. It is not possible to estimate movement for EB2-IC based on available demand and calculations. Based on calculations, EB2-IC should stop over here; present demand would provide enough cases that can be allocated visas through EB2-IC annual limits and estimated spillover as per current trend. January 2012 movement will be solely based on DOS/USCIS’ policy to intake enough buffer demand for FY 2012. At this time, our gut feeling is that movement can be as big as 1-3.5 months in January 2012 visa bulletin before we may see retrogression. In successive bulletins (Feb-Mar 2012) dates may stall or even retrogress (exception is H.R. 3012). We will be more confident on Jan VB after release of this month’s demand data.
