What’s Ahead in the December Visa Bulletin 2024 for EB Categories?

December Visa Bulletin predictions 2024
Wondering what the December visa bulletin 2024 has in store for EB-1, EB-2, and EB-3 final action dates for India? This blog post offers insights into the expected changes. Let’s dive in!

What is the US visa bulletin?

Every month, the U.S.  Department of State issues a visa bulletin, essential for tracking green card wait times across different categories. 
 
If your I-140 application has been approved, you can use the visa bulletin to determine when you can submit your adjustment of status application to USCIS, based on your priority date.
 

Will EB1 Final Action Dates Move Significantly in December Visa Bulletin 2024?

December Visa Bulletin 2024 predictions for EB1 categoryLet’s dive into what we can anticipate for the EB1 category in the upcoming December Visa Bulletin 2024. First, it’s helpful to reflect on the trends we have seen this past fiscal year. The EB1 dates for India have experienced notable fluctuations over the last fiscal year 2024.

For instance:

  • In the October 2023 Visa Bulletin, EB1 dates for India leaped forward by an impressive 5 years.
  • The January 2024 Visa Bulletin saw another surge, with dates advancing by 3.8 years.
  • By July 2024, the EB1 dates for India had moved forward by nearly a year.
  • Given these trends, we may witness some movement in the December Visa Bulletin 2024. However, historically, we tend to see larger shifts in January or mid-year, particularly around June or July.

Will we see notable changes in the EB2 and EB3 final action dates for India in the December Visa Bulletin 2024?

December Visa bulletin 2024 predictions for EB2 and EB3 category

While there is optimism for some positive movement in December for both categories, it’s crucial to remember that approximately 1.1 million Indians are currently in the EB2 and EB3 green card backlog. Therefore, while some progress may be forthcoming, we shouldn’t anticipate dramatic shifts right away.

Conclusion

The predictions for the December visa bulletin 2024 are based on past trends of EB final action movements in the previous fiscal year, FY2024. However, we will need to wait until the second week of November for the release of the December visa bulletin 2024 to see the actual movements of EB priority dates.
 
It is important to note that among the EB categories, EB1 or EB1A has the shortest green card wait times; approximately two years for India, according to the November visa bulletin 2024. If you want to expedite your green card process as an Indian applicant, EB1A is the best option.
