The Department of State’s Visa Bulletin for December 2009 notes that legislation in October extended the employment fourth preference “Certain Religious Workers” and employment fifth preference “Investor Pilot Program” green card categories for three years, through September 30, 2012.

Other employment-based categories generally have not budged since November’s Bulletin, with the exception of the India third preference and “Other Workers” categories, which both advanced one month, to May 1, 2001.
