Bander SkyVISA AVAILABILITY DURING THE COMING  MONTHS: Great Opportunity for Those in  the Know.


Visa Numbers are now becoming available
for individuals who filed their Labor Certification Applications between August 1, 2002 and August 1, 2004

The Citizenship and Immigration Services (CIS) and the Department of Labor still have a significant amount of cases in their backlog reduction efforts.  As a result, the anticipated increase in demand  for Visas, which requires clearing that process, has not yet materialized and may not for some time. In an effort to maximize VISA NUMBER use under the annual numerical limit, the Worldwide and Philippines Employment Third preference cut-off dates have been advanced by one year.

Unless there is a significant increase in Employment Demand, this rate of movement is expected to continue during the upcoming months.  Such movement could be expanded to include other chargeability areas and preference categories.

In conclusion, Visa Numbers are now becoming available. If you or someone you know filed their Labor Certification Applications between August 1, 2002 and August 1, 2004, they are urged to contact our Immigration Law Office IMMEDIATELY  by e-mailing Michael Bander  (michael@bandervisa.com) or calling us at (305)358-5800.
