Priority-date cutoffs will advance modestly or remain the same in employment-based categories next month, according to the Final Action Dates published Monday in the State Department’s December Visa Bulletin.
The Visa Bulletin also predicted that additional EB-2 and EB-3 categories could see final action cutoff dates as early as January if the current level of demand for employment-based green cards continues. This action would be required, the bulletin said, to avoid going over annual limits on the number of visas that are available in each category.

Final Action Dates for Employment-Based Preference Cases:
The State Department also released its Dates for Filing chart for December. Applicants seeking to file for adjustment of status are reminded that the chart does not take effect unless U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services confirms that it does via a web posting in the coming days. BAL will update clients once officials confirm whether the chart can be used in November.
