The Department of State has just posted an urgent notice to USCIS
offices that no Employment Preference Cases for the remainder of Fiscal
Year 2011 remain. According to the Department of State, there has been
an extremely large amount of demand and processing of Employment
preference cases for this fiscal year and the FY-2011 Employment annual
limit has now been reached.
Numbers will again be available for all Employment categories on October
1, 2011 and will be limited by the FY-2012 annual numerical limitations
for each category.
