Visa Bulletin for EB-3
What is Visa Bulletin?
The Visa Bulletin is a monthly publication by the U.S. Department of State that provides important information about immigration visas. Although there is no fixed release date, it is typically published between the middle and end of each month. The Visa Bulletin is divided into two main categories: Family-Sponsored and Employment-Based, with various subcategories.
NOTE
While it’s tempting to predict future movements in the Visa Bulletin, doing so can be challenging. Visa availability is affected by various factors, including annual visa quotas, country-specific limits, demand from other applicants, and U.S. immigration policies. Therefore, while trends from previous months can give an idea of potential movement, no one can accurately predict future changes.
Employment-Based 3rd
For nurses, it is important to check the Employment-Based 3rd category. The Employment-Based section is divided into A) Final Action Date and B) Dates for Filing, and all dates are based on the Priority Date.
Key Benefits
Final Action Dates
This chart shows the Cut-off Date when a visa can be issued. If the applicant’s Priority Date is earlier than the date listed in the chart, they can receive their visa after the embassy interview.
Dates for Filing
This chart shows when the applicant can submit their visa application (DS-260). If the applicant’s Priority Date is earlier than the date listed in the chart, the NVC will issue the Fee Bill, and the DS-260 can be completed and submitted.
Priority Date
The Priority Date is the date when the applicant submitted the I-140 to USCIS. (NOTE: Priority Date does not related with the approval of I-140)
