The U.S. Department of State Visa Bulletin for June 2009 released the very unwelcome news that the cutoff date for India in the EB2 category has retrogressed to January 1, 2000. The June Visa Bulletin will become effective as of June 1st. Thus, the May Visa Bulletin, with an EB2 India cutoff date of February 15, 2004 remains effective through May 31, 2009.

The explanation given is simply the high level of demand in the EB2 India category, and the need to keep within the annual limits set by law. The DOS stated that it is currently not possible to estimate whether this retrogression will continue for the rest of the fiscal year.
