Visa Bulletin – June 2025. Some Movement for EB-2 and EB-3, But No Movement for India
19 May
by Foster, on Immigration Updates
The U.S. Department of State (DOS) has published the monthly Visa Bulletin for June 2025. Until June 1, the May 2025 Visa Bulletin remains in effect.
The Visa Bulletin contains the DOS’s Final Action Dates chart, which lists the priority dates that are current in each respective category, the categories that are current during the applicable month (i.e., categories that do not have any backlogs), and the categories that are unavailable. The Visa Bulletin also contains the DOS’s Dates for Filing chart, which usually progresses ahead of the Final Action Dates chart and which U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services (USCIS) sometimes uses to determine the date that Adjustment of Status filings are permitted in each respective category.
For June 2025, USCIS has confirmed on its website that beneficiaries of employment-based immigrant petitions should use the Final Action Dates to determine eligibility to file adjustment of status (“green card”) applications.
Key Takeaways:
- Modest movement for all EB-2 (2-4 months), except EB-2 India had no movement.
- Little movement for all EB-3 (approximately 1 month or less), except EB-3 India had no movement.
- There was no change for any EB-1, EB-4, Certain Religious Workers, or any EB-5 category.
