Hello, everybody. As we do every single month once the visa bulletin comes out,
we provide our analysis and predictions for the coming month. So, this is the
June 2021 visa bulletin. We had a significant advancement in employment-based categories.
And on the family side, the final action day chart moves significantly in the F1,
F2B categories, F3, and F4. We'll talk about all this prediction, analysis, and what to
expect in the next few months. So, what are you waiting for? I'll see you on the other side.
Hello, everybody, and welcome back to our Immigration channel.
This is a place where we get the most up-to-date immigration news,
immigration updates, and everything else that you need to make your immigration journey less
stressful. In this video, we'll talk about the June 2021 visa bulletin analysis, predictions, and
everything else that you need to know. But before that, let's check the newsflash of the week.
Exciting news this week, the DHS announced open registration for TPS status for Burma.
As of May 25, nationals of Burma that are currently present in the United States can apply
and register for TPS status for a duration of 18 months. Also, the Department of Homeland Security
announced that citizens of Haiti who have been present in the United States on May 21 and before
are eligible to apply for temporary protected status as well. So, these are great news for
nationals of Burma and Haiti that are currently present in the United States. And also,
the Department of Homeland Security just announced an additional 22,000 H2B visas
specifically for temporary workers. These are workers that are essential for employers, they
need to fill temporary labor like construction or hospitality. So, these employers may suffer
extreme hardship without these workers and therefore 22,000 extra visas are added
to the overall H2B cap. So, great news on this side as well. And now, let's get back to our visa
bulletin analysis. What I'm going to do is I'm going to cover the employment-based categories
first, then we're going to move to the family petitions. And in between, I'll provide some
very valuable predictions for the month ahead. Once again, if you're here for the first time,

in the June 2021 visa bulletin. We anticipate that the EB2 category for India and China will
continue to advance for the rest of the year. The EB1 category continues to remain current for all
countries, it will remain current until the end of the year. It was so significant. For example, EB2
category final action dates for China advanced by five months and moved to May 1, 2017. Five months,
that's pretty big for one month. The big changes are for EB2 India, moved forward by four months
to December 1, 2010. EB3 China moved forward by three months and 20 days to September 1,
2018. And EB3 India advanced by nine months to November 1, 2011. These are definitely significant
advancements. And we're going to see more of that in the next few months in family-based categories.
In final action dates cut off, we see advancements pretty much in all categories. And we'll talk
about that in a few minutes. So, just to clarify what the final action date chart means is that if
you’re filing for an Adjustment of Status in the United States, or an immigrant visa at the Embassy
overseas, it tells you when your case can be approved versus the dates of the filing chart
that tells you when you can actually file an application for Adjustment of Status. If you're
inside the United States... again, every time we publish the visa bulletin people are confused
about it. So, just wanted to give you a quick recap on the difference between the two charts,
right? So, let's jump right into the chart. And as I mentioned, we'll start with the employment-based
categories. So, if you look at the chart, we look at the EB1. EB1 is current for all categories.
EB2 is current for the rest of the world. As I mentioned before,
China advanced by five months to May 1, 2017. India advanced by four months to December 1, 2010.
Mexico is current, the Philippines is current, Vietnam is current,
and Central America is current. The EB3 category is current for the rest of the world.
China advanced by three months and 18 days to September 1, 2018. India advanced by nine months,
as I mentioned, November 1, 2011. The rest of the world is current. EB4
is current except for Mexico, seven months and 17 days forward to 11-1-19 and Central America
is 11-1-2018, an advance of two months. EB5 is current for the rest of the world. China moved by
one month, and Vietnam moved by two months in one day to April 15, 2018. As you can see some nice
movement in the employment-based category. And I predict a further movement in the next few months
all through the summer. Now, let's jump into the family chart and see what's happening over there.
F1 category, we have a movement of 11 days, the rest of the world, mainly in China, moved 11 days.
India, 11 days to 11-1-14. Mexico 30 days to May 1, 1998. And the Philippines, 21 days to February
22, 2012. F2A remains current for the rest of the world. This is for the final action dates.
F2B moved by one week. Mainly, China moved by one week. India moved by one week. Mexico,
25 days to 9-8-99, and the Philippines, 10-15-11, 30 days. F3, we have 11 days movement,
the rest of the world. Pretty much the same for China, India, 30 days movement for Mexico,
and 39 days, and the Philippines. F4 category, we have a one-month movement for December 8, 2006.
We have a one-month movement in China, 12-08-06. 24 days movement in India to May 8, 2005,
and 25 days in Mexico to September 1, 1998. And finally, in the Philippines we have 39 days
to June 8, 2002. As you can see, it's a pretty good movement compared to previous months where
we almost had nothing. And this is because of the fact that quite a few embassies are starting to
reopen and starting to take interviews. And we're going to see even further movement in the next few
months all through the summer, as more of these posts are going to be able to take more cases
and start relieving the backlog of NVC and the embassies. Again, it's not perfect,
but at least we can see some movement. Moving forward, we hope to provide you even more analysis
from the State Department based on Charlie Oppenheim, the Chief of the Visa Control Reporting
Division. And I'll be able to summarize that and provide even more predictions. But for now, what I
can say is that these are good news. We definitely see a lot of movement on the employment-based and
certain movements on the family-based categories. And that is expected to continue again all through
the summer and through the beginning of the fall unless something major happens. And hopefully,
as a steady farmer, we’ll be able to provide more guidance to their consulates and embassies
with respect to how they process their cases. We should be able to see a direct impact
on the speed of processing numbers and the amount of visas that are going to be issued
every single month. So, once again, hopefully, this summary was helpful.
