Today, the U.S. Department of State (DOS) published the November 2022 Visa Bulletin<\/strong>. Unfortunately, the bulletin remains almost identical to the October 2022 bulletin<\/strong>. All cutoff dates listed refer to the dates in the final action chart (i.e., Chart A) except if generally determined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

November 2022 Visa Bulletin Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As per the State Department’s Visa Bulletin of November 2022<\/strong>, the employment-based Dates for Filing – which will decide whether an adjustment of status application<\/strong> can be filed with USCIS in November – will be as per the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employment-Based, First Preference (EB1) Category<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The EB1 category remains current for all countries of chargeability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employment-Based, Second Preference (EB2) Category<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There is no development in the EB2 category. EB2 India’s cutoff date remains set at 1st April 2012<\/strong>, while EB2 China keeps its June 8, 2019<\/strong> cutoff date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employment-Based, Third Preference (EB3) Category<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Also, there is no movement in the EB3 category. EB3 India’s cutoff date keeps on having a similar cutoff date as EB2 India, 1st April 2012.<\/strong> Moreover, EB3 China remained until 15th June 2018<\/strong>. The EB3 category stays current for any remaining nations of chargeability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EB3 Other Workers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The cutoff date for EB3 other workers<\/strong> in India is the same as its EB3 cutoff date. For China, the cutoff date for EB3 different workers advanced to 1st December 2012. <\/strong>Also, for any remaining nations of chargeability, EB3 different workers remain set on 1st June 2020.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employment-Based, Fourth Preference (EB4) Category<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The EB4 cutoff dates remain unchanged from the October 2022 Visa Bulletin<\/strong>. Moreover, the EB4 cutoff date for El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras stays on 15th March 2018, and EB4 Mexico stays on 15th September 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Critically, Congress expanded the EB4 program<\/strong> for specific religious workers in September 2022<\/strong>. Also, this category is available, and the cutoff dates are the same as the EB4 dates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employment-Based, Fifth Preference (EB5) Category<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

EB5 remains current for any remaining nations of chargeability, with the exemptions of China and India. China’s cutoff date for unreserved EB5<\/b> (i.e., EB5 immigrant visa numbers not put away for rural, high unemployment, and infrastructure projects) remains on 22nd March 2015, and India’s EB5 unreserved cutoff date is on 8th November 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Possible Future Imposition of Worldwide Final Action Date for EB-2<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As per the November Visa Bulletin 2022<\/strong> Predictions<\/strong>, there is the possibility that expanded demand in the EB-2 category might require the establishment of an overall Final Action cut-off date in the coming months, to keep numbers used within the FY 2023 limits<\/strong>. The State Department demonstrated that it would continue to monitor the situation and take appropriate action, if and as necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, we will proceed to closely monitor and report on development and predictions related to the monthly visa bulletin<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
