DEPT OF STATE REVERSES EB PRIORITY
DATES & CIS WILL REJECT ALL EMPLOYMENT-
BASED ADJUSTMENT OF STATUS APPLICATIONS
FILED AS OF TODAY!
The July bulletin came out in mid-June making visa
dates 'current' in all employment-based categories for all
countries for the month of July. By regulation, this bulletin
governs availability for the full month (i.e. so the dates are
valid until the end of July). This morning, however, the
Department of State suddenly announced that it was
reversing its decision from all of the categories being
available to all of the categories being unavailable until
October (and we will not know what the October dates
will be until mid-September). In response, the CIS just
issued a press release saying they will reject all
employment-based I-485 filings as of today. This action
is not only historically unprecedented, but it is not
authorized under the regulations and the actions are
taken in violation of the laws as written. The American
Immigration Law Foundation is planning a lawsuit in
response.
The text of the Department of State's announcement &
the CIS press release, as well as information regarding
the AILF lawsuit, are available on our 'Greencard News'
page.
