Full Speed, uh, Reverse!


The US CIS has reversed course on refusing to accept EB-based adjustment of status filings in July. This is welcome news for many people who faced having to leave the U.S. because of the broken promise caused by the CIS's shutting down the EB categories an hour into July.

The agency will now accept all EB filings that were current under the original July Visa Bulletin until the close of business on August 17, 2007. The extra time has been allotted to atone for the previous closure, which the agency evidently decided was not a defensible action when faced with litigation.

More information will be provided later.
