AUGUST 2024 VISA BULLETIN: EB-3 RETROGRESSION LOOMS

The Department of State has just issued the August 2024 Visa Bulletin. This blog post analyzes this month's Visa Bulletin. 

Visa Bulletin

Table A: Final Action Dates -- Applications with these dates may be approved for their Green Card (Permanent Residency card) or Immigrant Visa appointment.

Table B: Dates of Filing

The USCIS will use the Table A Final Action chart for I-485 employment-based filings. See: USCIS Visa Bulletin Dates

MU Law Analysis

There was small movement forward for India Categories EB-2 and EB-3 with priority dates moving forward nearly one month, but the remaining preference categories made no movement from July 2024.

The Visa Bulletin noted again that demand and number use has remained high in the EB-3 visa category. Although retrogression was not necessary for August, it will likely be necessary to either retrogress the final action date or make the category “Unavailable” in September.
