The State Department's October 2013 Visa Bulletin is out. Â The visa bulletin details processing times for family based and employment based visas. Â Many categories are current, but the bulletin explains which previously-filed visa applications are being processed.
Last month, the family based FB-2A category had become current after many years of backlog. Â FB-2A encompasses visas for spouses and children of lawful permanent residents. Â We had suspected that when people saw that the category was current that new applications would be filed and the backlog return.
This month also sees minimal progress for EB-2 employees from China. Â Visas are now being processed for people with a priority date from September 15, 2008 for people from that country.
