November 2025 Visa Bulletin: FB Dates Advance Slightly; EB Dates Remain Unchanged
Employment-based priority dates remain unchanged from October, while family-based dates have mild movements.
In November, USCIS continues to honor the Filing Dates Chart for both family-based and employment-based adjustments.
The State Department also announced in the November 2025 Visa Bulletin that information, including registration period, for the Diversity Visa 2027 program (DV-2027) will be publicized in the coming months. Applicants who are interested in entering the DV-2027 program should stay tuned.
