December U.S. Visa Bulletin Signals Renewed Optimism for Indians in EB1 Status

December U.S. Visa Bulletin Signals Renewed Optimism for Indians in EB1 Status

Irving, Texas, 17/11/2025

The December edition of the U.S. Visa Bulletin has been released, bringing encouraging developments, particularly for Indian applicants in employment-based visa categories. This bulletin offers critical updates on the Final Action Dates and Dates for Filing Applications.

Notably, the EB-1 bulletin for Indian applicants has witnessed a one-month advancement in the Final Action Date, now set at March 15, 2022. Similarly, the EB-2 category also reflects a one-month forward movement in its Final Action Date to the same cutoff. EB-3, too, has experienced a parallel shift, with its cut-off date moving to September 22, 2013. These increments mark a significant gesture of progress for those awaiting immigration approvals.

However, the Dates for Filing Applications remain steady across all three categories. Specifically, the EB-1A filing deadline is unchanged, standing at April 15, 2023, while EB-2 and EB-3 categories maintain their dates at December 1, 2013, and August 15, 2014, respectively.

The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has provided explicit guidance for applicants on how to proceed. Persons with priority dates preceding the specified application dates should prepare and submit their paperwork to the National Visa Center upon receiving instructions. USCIS emphasizes that if annual visa limits are reached, the category will immediately be deemed unavailable, halting any further number allocations.

For applicants who are tackling these fluctuating timelines, you will need expert advice to work with the bulletin dates. As a leading EB-1A consultancy, we offer comprehensive analysis and personalized mentorship to help individuals accurately interpret the Visa Bulletin and take appropriate action.

Under the Trump administration, the definition of public charge expanded dramatically, with consequences that could reshape legal immigration.
