For immigration attorneys who have employment based cases with priority dates reaching back to 2004, the National Visa Center is now quickly issuing appointments for interviews with US Embassies for as early as August 4, 2010 and August 24, 2010. For my clients, these appointments have been set with the US Embassy in Damascus, Syria as well as US Embassy in Greece and other US Embassies throughout the world.
These new appointments have taken place because the Visa Bulletin for August 2010 moved the priority date to June 2004 for EB-3 categories excluding India and China. The EB-3 employment based category includes skilled workers (position requires 2 years experience and applicant has the requisite experience) and professionals (position requires a minimum of a bachelor’s degree and applicant meets the requirement).
We wish our clients success at their interviews!
