The April 2009 Visa Bulletin was issued on March 9th. The VB said the visa numbers for EB3 were unavailable with immediate effect (Philippines retrogressed to 2003).
This is highly unusual. The visa bulletin is a forecast for the month ahead and does not take effect immediately. But State Department says that this one was of immediate effect.
What does this mean?
Here is a question this morning from forclients.com, our clients' extranet.
Quote:
The nightmare has once again come true, eb3 would be unavailable until September 09, if I am not wrong?
With this in the background, I am thinking of giving up the hope of getting my green card soon (my pd may 04). If I go back to India, can my GC application still continue to be processed?
Correct. "Unavailable" means that it is the ESTIMATE of the State Department that visa numbers for India are exhausted for this fiscal year which ends on September 30. But the estimate may not always be accurate. DOS may go back and reopen this category if they need to (unlikely, but not impossible). Your green card can go on in your absence.

The E-3 visa allows for the admission of an alien who is a national of the Commonwealth of Australia and who is entering the U.S. to perform services in a “specialty occupation.” The E-3 visa has many advantages over the other types of working visas, including the ability for spouses of E-3 recipients to apply for work authorization.
Very efficient, helpful and personal services. The process was made easier thanks to the professional staff. Thank You very much. I highly recommend their services.
My labor certification was done without any problem and the guidance I am getting for filing I-140,I-485 for me and my family members is excellent and I shall be grateful to Mr.Khanna and his team
There is no question that there might be a large number of good Attorneys around but Mr. Khanna and his superb team can provide what only a few can. That is honesty, excellent advise, easy accessibility to him and the rest of the team, fast work and over all results. I had experience with few attorneys and I can say without a doubt that he is the one and there is no need to look around. If you are looking for quality here it is.
I cannot thank enough the Law Office of Rajiv S Khanna and my direct contact in this case Anna Baker for doing such a wonderful job in getting me approved for H1B classification within such a short period of time. Anna Baker has been a tremendous help with regard to the case and especially getting back to me on answering my questions at her earliest. Fee is very reasonable for the service I was provided. I would definitely recommend for any immigration issues and I myself look forward to taking care of my future immigration issues with the Law Office of Rajiv S. Khanna.
Anna Baker Great Job. I am very pleased.!!!
