The recently issued visa bulletin for November 2012 indicates that the EB-2 worldwide category will be current as of November 1, 2012.  The EB-2 worldwide category retrogressed in July 2012 and has remained backlogged to date.  Once the category becomes current, a visa number is guaranteed to be available for all EB-2 applicants who were not born in India or China through the end of the month.  Please check our blog frequently for updates on visa bulletin movement.
