The latest bulletin on available immigrant visa numbers contains some sad news for skilled workers from Mexico:
Due to continued heavy applicant demand, primarily by USCIS Offices for adjustment of status cases, the annual limits for the Mexico Employment Third and Third preference Other Worker categories have been reached. As a result, both categories have become “unavailable.” Visa numbers will become available once again in October with the start of the new fiscal year.
On the bright side, cut-off dates for most Family preference categories have been advancing at a very rapid pace.
