Employment-Based Preference Categories
In the EB-1 category, demand levels across all countries remain high, and
usage of EB-1 visas is 25% higher than EB-2 and EB-3. The increased demand
for EB-1 Worldwide has negatively impacted EB-1 China and EB-1 India, and
Oppenheim does not expect any movement of EB-1 China and EB-1 India Final
Action Dates. Movement is only possible if EB-1 Worldwide slows down, which
is unlikely if the current trends continue; EB-1 Worldwide usage has been
increasing 15% each month. The DOS Liaison Committee points out that the
demand for the EB-1 category may be inflated due to the Trump Administration
's Buy American Hire American Executive Order and the administration's
desire to prioritize immigration for the most highly educated, skilled, and
paid workers. Some EB-1 related Adjustment of Status applicants are called
for interviews before their I-140 petitions are approved, which has the
potential to skew Oppenheim's data for this preference category.
The EB-2 category remains current, and Oppenheim predicts that it will
continue to be current if trends continue. Approximately half of EB-2
Worldwide numbers for this fiscal year have been used and by the end of this
fiscal year, we can expect for all numbers to be used. The Final Action
Date for EB-2 India only advanced three days in the April 2019 Visa Bulletin
. However, since all EB-2 numbers should be used by the end of FY2019,
numbers will not remain for EB-2 India.
EB-3 India remains ahead of EB-2 India, but EB-3 China is still behind EB-2
China. Oppenheim expects these trends to continue. For EB-3 Philippines,
rapid advancement continues. The demand for EB-3 Philippines is low, which
will continue to generate forward movement. As with the EB-1 category,
however, Oppenheim warns not to expect this relatively fast forward movement
to continue perpetually. |
