Hello everybody. In this video, we're going to provide the most recent analysis and update of
the July 2021 Visa Bulletin. We do this every month. And this one, we have some good news about
advancement and employment-based categories. And of course, family visas are finally moving
forward as well. So what are you waiting for? I'll tell you all about it on the other side.
So let's jump right into their July 2021 Visa Bulletin. This month, we had a strong
movement advancement in most employment-based categories, and a slight advancement also in
the family-based categories. This is a trend that continues from June, and it's going to go
all the way through the end of the summer. As long as embassies and consulates will continue
to make efforts to start processing visas. We hope to provide you with even more updates
in another video. Once we analyze the State Department's YouTube [inaudible]
hopefully, it will be released this week as well. For those of you that are currently inside
the United States, the USCIS just released its current update. With respect to the Visa Bulletin,
they stated that the final action chart should be used for all employment-based cases. There
are currently adjusting status inside the United States. For family-based categories,
they said you should be using the filing date chart, except for the F-2A category that is
currently current. So essentially, nothing has changed with USCIS processing from last month,
which is good news as well. Let's take a closer look at the employment-based categories first, and
then we're going to analyze the chart step by step just like we do every single month. So, a summary
of final action dates for employment-based categories is looking as following, Like I said,
very strong movement. EB1 categories still remain current for all countries. And we expect you to
stay current pretty much through the entire year in the EB2 category. As we're going to
see in a few minutes in the actual chart China advanced by seven months. That's a huge movement.
In India, advanced by six months. And we're going to look at the chart to see where we are now.
All the rest of the world remains current under the EB2 category. EB3 category, China advanced by
four months while India advanced by 14 months. This is absolutely incredible. The rest of the
world remains current. Also for July EB5 category remains current except from China and Vietnam.
Remember, the program is set to expire on June 30, 2021, unless it's authorized to be extended
by Congress and Legislation. So, we'll see what happens when we got a few weeks left.
So let's jump right into the charts. Let's start again with family-based applications
in the final action dates. So for the F1 category, the rest of the world is now at November 15, 2014,
movement the 14 days, China November 15, 2014 movement of 14 days as well.
Same dates for India, November 15, 2014. Mexico advanced by five months to October 1,
1988, and the Philippines remains at February 22, 2012. A strong, strong movement for Mexico.

Rest of the world, we are now September 15, 2015, 24 days movement forwards. China, September 15,
2015, also 24 days moving forwards. And the same thing with India September 1,5 2015,

Mexico 3 months forward and 14 days 15th of December 1998, and the Philippines remains
a slight movement of 14 days forward at June 22nd of 2002. These are the final action dates
for family-based applications. Now let's jump into the employment-based
category into the final action dates and let's see what's happening there for July. EB1 category
remains current for the rest of the world. EB2 is current for the rest of the world.
China advanced by 7 months to December 1, 2017. El Salvador is current in Guatemala,
India moved by 6 months to June 1, 2011. Mexico's current, the Philippines is current and Vietnam is
current. EB3, the rest of the world is current. China moved 4 months to January 1, 2019. India
moved 1 year and 2 months to January 1, 2013. The rest of the world is current. EB3 other workers,
current the rest of the world. China moved by 2 months December 1, 2009, and India moved 1
year and 2 months, 1st of January 2013. The EB4 category is current for the rest of the world.
El Salvador moved by 1 month to December 2018. and Mexico moved 3 months to February 1,
2020. And the rest of the world is current. EB4 religious workers, the rest of the world
is current. We've got El Salvador 1 month movement on December 1, 2018. And we've got
Mexico 3 months forward to February 2020. And moving to EB5, non-regional centers, the rest of
the world is current. We've got a 1-month movement in China, to the 8th of November 15. And we've
got Vietnam 1 year movement to April 1, 2020. For Regional Centers, the categories are unavailable,
because of the uncertainty with the EB5 program. We're going to know more by the end of June.
So as you can see, we definitely have a rapid movement in employment-based categories. This
is again, because of the surge in the amount of visas that are available now for employment-based
categories. We're going to see that movement continue throughout the rest of the year.
But also with family visas, we've seen a movement forward as well, this is much better than a few
months before, because of the tiered approach to opening these embassies. As we mentioned
in previous videos, we can see that those countries that are not subject to travel bans
are seeing more traction with respect to how visas are being processed at those embassies
and consulates. And every day, we see more updates from certain individual consulates and embassies
that either are reopening or are processing cases in a much more efficient way. That's
going to translate to more appointments, and more cases being processed overall. So hopefully,
I'll be able to provide you with more updates as we get them directly from the State Department. So
