November 2026 Visa Bulletin Predictions: EB-3 Priority Dates & Ukraine TPS Continues

The November 2026 Visa Bulletin brings new priority date movements for employment-based and family-based visa categories. EB-3 applicants should review the updated Final Action Dates and Dates for Filing charts to determine whether their priority dates are now current, as any forward movement may allow eligible applicants to proceed with adjustment of status or consular processing. Ukraine Temporary Protected Status (TPS) continues to be extended, providing protection from deportation and work authorization eligibility for Ukrainian nationals currently residing in the United States. This designation reflects ongoing humanitarian concerns related to the situation in Ukraine. For EB-3 applicants, the visa bulletin is a critical monthly document that governs when an immigrant visa number becomes available based on an applicant's priority date and country of chargeability. Monitoring both the Final Action Dates and Dates for Filing charts is essential for planning next steps in the green card process. Applicants are advised to consult with their immigration attorneys to assess the impact of the November 2026 Visa Bulletin on their specific cases, particularly in light of any retrogression or advancement in the EB-3 worldwide and country-specific cutoff dates.
