The May 2012 priority dates

IMMIGRATION CORNER - Michael J. Gurfinkel -

Each month, the Visa Office of the State Department publishes in the Visa Bulletin the priority dates for that particular month, for the various family and employment based categories. A priority date is a person’s “place in line” for a visa, meaning that immigrant visas (or green cards) would be available for persons whose priority date is earlier than the cut-off date listed below. If your priority date was “current,” but later retrogressed (or became “unavailable”) before your immigrant visa was issued (or before you adjusted status in the US), you would have to wait until it becomes current again.

Michael J. Gurfinkel has been an attorney for over 30 years, and is an active member of the State Bar of California and New York, as well as the American Immigration Lawyers Association and the Immigration Section of the Los Angeles County Bar Association. He has always excelled in school: Valedictorian in High School; cum laude at UCLA; and Law Degree Honors and academic scholar at Loyola Law School, which is one of the top law schools in California.

 The May 2012 priority dates for the Philippines are as follows:
