>The April immigration deadlines have not yet been announced on the State Council website. According to the deadlines obtained by immigration lawyers from the State Department, there is progress in the family-based immigration category. The second preference for Chinese-born professional immigrants remains unchanged and may go backwards in the future. The third preference category for Chinese-born professional immigrants and other categories are still at the same level. Relative-based immigration category: First priority (unmarried adult children of citizens): eight weeks before transfer. Second priority: Category 2 (spouse and minor children of permanent residents): ten weeks after immigration. Category 2 (unmarried adult children of permanent residents): eight weeks of immigration. Third priority (married children of citizens): six weeks in advance. Fourth priority (brothers and sisters of adult citizens): Moved within four weeks. Occupational immigration category: second priority for those born in China (those with advanced degrees or special abilities): stay put. The world’s third priority general category (skilled workers, professionals): moved three weeks earlier. Third priority general category for those born in China: eight weeks before transfer. The third priority category in the world (other categories (unskilled workers such as nannies and housekeepers)): moved in for three weeks. The third-priority category for Chinese-born students is still standing still.
