May 2008 Visa Bulletin

The May 2008 Visa Bulletin is out.  Among the employment-based visa numbers, unfortunately, there was only a slight forward movement for most categories.  The most notable movement was for employment-based third preference category (EB-3) for all countries except China, India, Mexico.  The priority date for such EB-3 workers moved from July 2005 to March 2006.  EB-3 Mexico and EB-3 Philippines moved to July 2002 and March 2006, respectively.

EB-2 China and EB-2 India moved slightly forward; unfortunately this movement was very minor, only by a month, to January 2004 for both.
