November 2022 Visa Bulletin Remains Largely Consistent

October 17, 2022

The U.S. Department of State (“DOS”) has released the November 2022 Visa Bulletin.  The visa bulletin remains largely consistent with the exception that the final action cutoff date for China EB-3 “Other Workers” will advance three months to December 1, 2012.   Please see the “Final Action Dates for Employment-Based Preference Cases” chart below.  Additionally, due to increased demand in the Employment-Based Second Preference Category, the DOS has indicated that it may need to establish a worldwide final action cutoff date.

Following the DOS’ release of the November 2022 Visa Bulletin, USCIS advised which chart prospective green card applicants should refer to when determining if they are eligible to file an application in November 2022.

Note:  Where “C” is listed, the category is current and applications may be filed regardless of the applicant’s priority date.  Where a date is listed for a category, applications may be filed if the applicant’s priority date is earlier than the listed date.
