Incredibly, the U.S. Department of State has announed today, July 2, 2007, that it is updating its Visa
Bulletin for July
2007. The July Visa Bulletin was the visa bulletin which all of a
sudden declared most of the Employer Based visa categories to be
current. Now, today, the State Depatment has announced that it
unexpectedly used "almost 60,000 Employment numbers" in June, and
as a result the State Department is changing the July numbers.
Specifically, the State Department has announced that all numbers for
the Employment-based preference cases have been used up for this fiscal
year (FY-2007), and that new Employment-based preference numbers will
only be made available for the next fiscal year (FY-2008), beginning
October 1, 2007.
This is a truly incredible turn of events: one
moment the State Department announces that most of the Employment-based
preference categories will be current in July, and the next moment they
announce that all of the Employment-based preference categories are
unavailable in July--even before any new cases were filed in July. In
other words, this was a pure miscalculation on the part of the State
Department, and was not based on any deluge of filings on July 2--since
the numbers were cut off before anyone even filed in July.
