U.S. State Department Commentary About Employment Visa Availability
UNAVAILABILITY OF THE EMPLOYMENT THIRD PREFERENCE AND EMPLOYMENT THIRD PREFERENCE "OTHER WORKER" CATEGORIES
The cut-off dates for the Employment Third and Third preference "Other Worker" categories were held and then retrogressed in an effort to bring demand within the average monthly usage targets and the overall annual numerical limits. Despite these efforts, the amount of demand received from Citizenship and Immigration Services Offices for adjustment of status cases with priority dates that were significantly earlier than the established cut-off dates remained extremely high. As a result, these annual limits have been reached and both categories have become "Unavailable".
Visa availability in these categories will resume in October, the first month of the new fiscal year.
