November 2022 Visa Bulletin

Each month, the U.S. Department of State (DOS) publishes the Visa Bulletin, listing all "preference" categories and states whether a backlog exists for each one.  In addition, the categories are folded into two charts: “Final Action” chart and a “Dates for Filing” chart for Family-Based immigration and Employment-Based immigration.

The November Visa Bulletin has been released.  There has been no movement in either the Employment-Based or Family-Based Preference Filings from last month.  For both categories, you may use the Dates for Filing chart in the Department of State Visa Bulletin for November 2022.The November Visa Bulletin also notes the following:

“Increased demand in the Employment Second category may necessitate the establishment of a worldwide final action date in the coming months to hold number use within the maximum allowed under the Fiscal Year 2023 annual limit. This situation will be continually monitored, and any necessary adjustments will be made accordingly.”
