Attention Legal Permanent Resident Petitioners

Big news for Legal Permanent Residents who are petitioning for spouses or children under the age of 21. The U.S. Visa Bulletin's 2A category will be "current" in July 2019 for the first time in a number of years. For the last few years the "wait time" has averaged between 2-4 years. According to the State Department’s Charlie Oppenheim, there will be no wait for spouses and minor children of legal permanent residents as of July 1, 2019. This means that if you can get your family processed while the 2A category is current, there is no wait time--only processing time.  We do not know how long this will last, so contact my office soon if you believe this update might impact your case.
