The Department of State has released the October 2009 Visa Bulletin which is the first bulletin of the new fiscal year and which bulletin makes EB-3 visa numbers available, although not with the cut-off dates as many EB-3 applicants have hoped for. Additionally, EB-2 notes small forward movement while EB-5 is now unavailable due to the expiration of the EB-5 Pilot program.
