Every month, the Department of State releases the Visa Bulletin. This bulletin is crucial for individuals navigating the Green Card application process, as it determines the progression of the process. 

We highly recommend monitoring the Visa Bulletin and Adjustment of Status Filing Charts regularly,  as monthly updates can significantly impact your application strategy.

For the month of October, here are the latest updates:

  • USCIS has indicated they will be using the 2nd chart Dates for Filing for October for Adjustment of Status;
  • This is the first Visa Bulletin update for the new 2025 fiscal year;

Key highlights by category:

  • EB-1: India has moved forward by 2 months to a cut-off date of 4/15/2022. China remains the same at 1/1/2023, and the Rest of World (RoW) stays Current.
  • EB-2: India advanced by nearly 5.5 months to 1/1/2013, China by 4 months to 10/1/2020, and RoW by 4.5 months to 8/1/2023.
