February 2025 Visa Bulletin: Little Movement and an Adjustment of Status Update

The Department of State has just issued the February 2025 Visa Bulletin. This blog post analyzes this month's Visa Bulletin.

Visa Bulletin

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

Table B: Dates for Filing

In a change from the past several months, the USCIS will use the Table A Final Action Dates chart for I-485 employment-based filings in February 2025. As the Final Action Dates chart generally moves slower than the Dates for Filing chart, this means a longer wait time for those intending to file Adjustments of Status in February 2025.
