November 2023 Visa Bulletin: Steady Employment-Based Categories with Minor EB-2 Advancement

The U.S. Department of State has released the Visa Bulletin for November 2023. This report indicates that all employment-based categories will hold steady in November under Final Action Dates and Dates for Filing, with the exception of a minor advancement for EB-2 Final Action Dates. This announcement means that the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will continue to accept employment-based Adjustment of Status applications grounded on the more advanced Dates for Filing chart in November.

Notably, the EB-2 Final Action Dates for all nations, excluding China and India, will move forward by a week to July 15. This adjustment in dates may have implications on immigration statuses of workers in major corporations and law firms and could potentially impact the overall recruitment strategies.

This information comes by way of a report from Gibney Anthony & Flaherty, LLP, a reputable source of legal news. Legal professionals, especially those handling immigration affairs, should keep abreast of these changes to efficiently manage their employment-based immigration cases and effectively advise their corporate clients.
