Retrogression in August 2015 Visa Bulletin
"CHINA - MAINLAND BORN EMPLOYMENT THIRD, AND THIRDÂ OTHER WORKER VISA AVAILABILITY
There was an extremely large increase in applicant demand reported for consideration in the determination of the August cut-off dates. Therefore, it has been necessary to retrogress the Employment Third, and Third Other Worker cut-off dates to hold number use within the FY-2015 annual limit.
Every effort will be made to return those categories to the previously announced July cut-off dates as quickly as possible under the FY-2016 annual limits. Those limits will take effect October 1, 2015." - DOS, July 10, 2015.
