The U.S. State Department released the July Visa Bulletin, showing advancement in key employment-based categories. However, all countries under EB-3, excluding China and India, will retrogress by almost a year. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services confirmed that in July it will use Final Action Dates to determine filing eligibility.
Final Action Dates Movement:
EB-1
EB-2
EB-3
Final Action Dates for Employment-Based Preference Cases:
2023
Additional Information: As predicted in the June Visa Bulletin, the State Department said it has become necessary to retrogress the worldwide EB-3 final action date (including Mexico and the Philippines) effective in July. USCIS notes that because of continued high demand and number use in this category, it will likely be necessary to either further retrogress the final action date or make the category “unavailable” in August. BAL will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as information becomes available.
