March Visa Bulletin: Some forward movement for Employment Based cases and no movement for Family Based Cases
February 16, 2017
The March 2017 Visa Bulletin shows some forward movement for the “Final Action Date” category for Employment-based applicants and no “Filing Date” movement in either direction for any Family-based “Filing Date” category. Once again, USCIS states that Family-Based applicants must use the Dates for Filing Visa Applications chart and Employment-Based applicants must use the Application Final Action Dates chart to determine when to may file their adjustment of status application.
