In what could be described as simply ‘remarkable,’ the Department of State released its July Visa Bulletin which showed that the first three employment-based categories (EB1, EB2, EB3 (except “Other Workers”)) are current. This means that all persons other than “Other Workers” who (1) are eligible to file I-140 Immigrant Petitions for Alien Worker ("I-140"); (2) have pending I-140 petitions; or (3) have approved I-140 petitions can file their I-485 adjustment of status applications beginning July 1, 2007. It is hard to predict whether these categories will remain current in August, but our guess is that they may not. Therefore, it is important for anyone who has been waiting to file an adjustment application due to visa backlogs to contact their attorney immediately to get this process started.
