US Department of State Releases November 2025 Visa Bulletin

The U.S. Department of State released its November 2025 Visa Bulletin, the monthly publication that determines which immigrant visa applicants may move forward with their cases based on their priority dates. The bulletin is a critical resource for employment-based applicants, including those in the EB-3 category for skilled workers, professionals, and other workers. Law firm Morgan Lewis has highlighted the bulletin's release as a significant update for immigration practitioners and applicants alike. The Visa Bulletin sets both the Final Action Dates, which determine when a visa can be issued, and the Dates for Filing, which indicate when applicants may submit adjustment of status applications in some cases. EB-3 applicants should review the November 2025 bulletin closely to determine whether their priority date is current under either chart. Changes in priority dates from month to month can significantly impact filing timelines and planning for prospective green card holders. Applicants are encouraged to consult with an immigration attorney or accredited representative to understand how the November 2025 Visa Bulletin affects their specific case, particularly given ongoing fluctuations in demand across country-specific categories such as those for India and China.
