BREAKING NEWS - AILA Reports State Department plans to issue a revised Visa Bulletin for July 2007
06/29/2007
We are hearing from multiple sources that, on Monday or Tuesday of next week, State Department plans to issue a revised Visa Bulletin for July 2007. This revised Bulletin would retrogress some or all of the employment-based categories, very likely to the point of unavailable. Reports from AILA members about unusual levels and types of activities by USCIS indicate a particular push to adjudicate employment-based adjustments currently in the pipeline so as to exhaust visa numbers for fiscal year 2007.
This follows the actions of USCIS in June, when it began rejecting EB-3 "Other Worker" adjustment applications even though the Visa Bulletin showed an October 2001 cut-off date, on the basis that the "Other Worker" numbers for the year had been exhausted.

Can anybody explain "revised Visa Bulletin for July 2007" with regard to H1B industry visa?
With regard to H1B visas for MS/PhD degree holders from US colleges, are there any visas left for FY 2008?

I should think not, however as you can see, the USCIS has lately become unpredictable.
