E. EMPLOYMENT THIRD PREFERENCE VISA AVAILABILITY Demand for numbers, primarily by Citizenship and Immigration Services Offices for adjustment of status cases, is expected to bring the Employment Third preference category very close to the annual numerical limit in June. As a result, this category is likely to experience retrogressions or visa unavailability beginning in July. Such action would only be temporary, however, and a complete recovery of the cut-off dates would occur for October, the first month of the new fiscal year.

This is the official Visa Bulletin for June 2008 http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/bulletin/bulletin_4231.html

http://uscis.gov/graphics/howdoi/appproc.htm Following-to-Join Benefits for Spouses If you were married before you became a lawful permanent resident, and your spouse did not physically accompany you to the U.S., your spouse may be eligible for following-to-join benefits. This means that you do not have to submit a separate Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, for your spouse, and your spouse will not have to wait any extra time for a visa number to become available. In this case, you may simply notify a U.S. Consulate that you are a lawful permanent resident so that your spouse can apply for an immigrant visa. Your spouse may be eligible for following-to-join benefits if your relationship still exists and if one of the following is applicable: You received a diversity immigrant visa You received an employment-based immigrant visa You received an immigrant visa based on your relationship to your U.S. citizen sibling You received an immigrant visa based on your relationship to your U.S. citizen parent when you were already married (For information on following-to-join benefits for children of lawful permanent residents, please see Petitioning Procedures: Bringing a Child to Live in the United States.) If you fall into one of these categories, please submit the following information to the U. S. Citizenship and Immigration Services: Form I-824, Application for Action on an Approved Application or Petition A copy of the original application or petition that was used to apply for your immigrant status A copy of the I-797, Notice of Action, for your original application or petition A copy of your alien registration receipt card or I-551 If the I-824 is approved, the USCIS will notify a U.S. consulate that you are a lawful permanent resident so that your spouse can apply for a following-to-join immigrant visa. Your spouse must then contact the local U.S. consulate to complete the processing. You should file the I-824 at the USCIS office that took the most recent action on your case
