November visa bulletin 2024

U.S. Department of State releases Visa Bulletin every month. It contains information on priority dates. Persons waiting to apply for green card can look into the visa bulletin to check whether their 'priority dates' became current or not. We analyze the visa bulletin every month and post key updates on progress of Employment based EB1, EB2 and EB3 preference priority dates as well as movement of priority dates for Family Sponsored preferences for F1, F2A, F2B, F3 and F4.

Unfortunately there is no progress in the Employment based priority dates for the backlogged countries in the November 2024 Visa Bulletin. However, there is a slight improvement in the Family based priority dates.

In depth analysis of the November Visa Bulletin 2024 is described on this page.
