The US State Department released the November 2014 Visa Bulletin. The most shocking part of the new Visa Bulletin was the massive Retrogression of the EB-2 category for Indians, setting back the category 4 years and 3 months. On the other hand other EB-2 and EB-3 categories made meaningful moves forward. The Family-Based categories moved forward slowly as well.
