November 2020 Visa Bulletin News

Picture
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.

In depth analysis of the November 2020 Visa Bulletin is described in this updated page. The page will be refreshed with breaking updates when December Visa Bulletin becomes available.
