The Visa Bulletin's Final Action Dates for employment-based categories have seen significant movement recently. Notably, the EB-3 category (especially for 'Other Workers') advanced forward, reflecting efforts to utilize all available visas. Some categories like EB-2 experienced slight retrogression due to high demand.
These movements directly affect green card wait times. For some applicants, a forward jump in dates means the opportunity to file for adjustment of status or expect an interview sooner than anticipated. Conversely, retrogression in other categories can prolong waits. It's crucial for applicants to stay updated with each monthly Visa Bulletin and plan accordingly based on these Final Action Date changes.
