The State Department released the September Visa Bulletin Tuesday, showing modest or no movement in key employment-based categories. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services confirmed it would use the Final Action Dates chart to determine employment-based filing eligibility for adjustment of status.

BAL Analysis: The lack of movement in most categories in the September Visa Bulletin follows dramatic retrogression in India EB-1 and some other categories in the August Visa Bulletin. As a reminder, priority-date cutoffs in some key categories are likely to advance in October, when additional visas become available at the start of the 2024 fiscal year; however, movement of priority-date cutoffs depends on several factors, including visa demand and the employment-based visa limit for the upcoming fiscal year. BAL will continue following the Visa Bulletin and will provide updates as information becomes available.
