Priority-date cutoffs will advance in most employment-based categories next month, according to the State Department’s October Visa Bulletin, which was released Thursday. The October bulletin is the first for the new fiscal year.
Key Movements in Final Action Dates:
EB-1
EB-2
EB-3
Final Action Dates for Employment-Based Preference Cases:
The State Department also released its Dates for Filing chart for October. Applicants seeking to file for adjustment of status are reminded that the chart does not take effect unless U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services confirms that it does via a web posting after the Visa Bulletin is released. BAL will update clients once officials confirm whether the chart can be used.
Dates for Filing for Employment-Based Preference Cases:
Additional Information: The bulletin predicted “rapid forward movement” in most employment classifications later this year. This would be expected since there were many unused numbers from this year that will roll over to the fiscal year that begins Oct. 1.
