Impact of the Oct 2005 Visa Bulletin
The October Visa Bulletin does not apply until October 1, 2005. The September Visa Bulletin is in effect until the end of September 2005. Therefore, those persons in EB1 and EB2 who are eligible to file their I-485s, Applications for Adjustment of Status, need to do so before October 1, 2005. (The cases have to reach the USCIS on or before September 30, 2005.) Otherwise, the cases will need to wait until visa numbers become available for the particular priority dates of the individuals of the particular nationalities once again. Persons who will still remain eligible in October 2005 do not need to worry about this. Eligibility to file the I-485 is quite limited in October 2005, as explained below, particularly for nationals of India and mainland China.
