US Department of State released the latest Visa Bulletin for July 2010, and as expected there’s a slight movement of EB-3 for priority dates for Philippines to August 15, 2003.

A good news however is in the horizon as projected movement of dates will hit mid-2004 by October. Hammond Law Group opined in their post “Good News for Filipino EB-3 RNs”:

However, there is good news buried in the bulletin. The Department of State is projecting that the dates for EB-3 cases from the Philippines will advance to mid-2004 by September. This projection, coupled with the I-485 inventory report released earlier, gives hope to further movement of EB-3 Filipino priority dates in 2010.

It also suggests that the projection HLG made in December of 2009, that all of the 2004 priority dates and a portion of the 2005 priority dates would become current in calendar year 2010, may actually be accurate and was not just the wishful thinking of a mathematically challenged immigration lawyer.

Let’s just hope that the next Visa Bulletin will see the progress in that projection.
