It has been reported to the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) by a senior Department of State official that immigrant visas for EB-2 India and mainland China were exhausted for this fiscal year as of April 11th. USCIS will continue to accept EB-2 India/China adjustment of status applications based on the priority date cut-offs in both the April and May 2012 Visa Bulletins, but the cases will be on hold until the start of the new 2013 fiscal year as of 10/1/2012 when quotas open up again.  We link to the Visa Bulletins for April and May.

According to the Visa Bulletins, EB-2 India /China applicants with priority dates earlier than May 1, 2010 can continue to file adjustment of status applications with USCIS through April 30, 2012. Those with priority dates earlier than August 15, 2007 can continue to file through May 31, 2012.
