Hope for relatives watching priority dates

Many think that once a petition has been filed for them by their relatives in the U.S., there are only very minor roadblocks they can expect along the way. This can be the case, most especially if the petition has been checked for accuracy and veracity and has been forwarded to the National Visa Center, where it is waiting for the priority date to become current. Nothing else should worry you and you can just go on living your life until the priority date becomes current. At some point, however, you might realize, it may take 10, 15, or more years before your visa becomes current.

Every month, we await the next visa bulletin and pray that the priority dates have shifted forward. We just want to be able to give our clients a glimpse of hope that they are getting closer to their dreams of receiving a green card. Well, the 2010 September Visa Bulletin has finally delivered some good news for the family visa category. Visit our website for a link to the Department of State Visa Bulletin:

Some of the preference categories jumped forward as much as 2 years! This is great news for many of our clients and those who have been patiently waiting. For those of you who have a family petition pending, please check the 2010 September visa bulletin carefully and see if your wait is finally over.

If your petition’s priority date is current and you would like help in obtaining your immigrant visa or green card, please feel free to contact us.
