The U.S. Department of State (DOS)'s May Visa Bulletin reflects movement in the permanent resident or "green card" Employment Third Preference (EB-3) categories for both India and China. The category moves forward two months for China and one month for India. There is no movement in the Employment Second Preference Category for either India or China.
In contrast, the EB-3 Mexico category is now unavailable. The DOS states that "due to continued heavy applicant demand..., the annual limits for the Mexico Employment Third and Third Preference Other Worker categories have been reached....Visa numbers will become available once again in October with the start of the new fiscal year."
The Employment First Preference category remains current across the board.
