7/1/07: Possible July Visa Bulletin Revision.

We have received news from the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) that they have reliable information that the July Visa Bulletin will be revised on Monday, July 2nd, or Tuesday, July 3rd.

This Visa Bulletin is expected to retrogress many of the categories that were announced as being "Current" for July.

It is expected that at least some of the categories will become completely "unavailable."

There is a lot of speculation as to the reason for this, including that the USCIS does not want too many I-485 cases to be filed while they are trying to clear their backlogs and that they want people to pay the substantially higher USCIS filing fees that will take effect from July 27, 2007 onwards.

The actions of the USCIS appear to be in violation of the law. The American Immigration Law Foundation (AILF) has been authorized to file a lawsuit. We will post updates as we receive them.
