The U.S. Department of State has released the Visa Bulletin for November 2025, providing key updates on the EB-3 Other Worker (Unskilled) category. Below is a detailed overview of the latest movement and what it means for applicants.
⸻
Final Action Dates (When a visa can be issued)
All countries except India & China: July 15, 2021
Dates for Filing (When you can submit your Green Card application)
All countries except India & China: December 1, 2021
There has been no forward movement this month — the dates remain unchanged from October 2025.
This pause reflects the Department of State’s decision to monitor usage and demand early in the fiscal year before making further adjustments.
⸻
USCIS Filing Chart Policy
Good news for applicants:
The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has confirmed that the “Dates for Filing” chart will continue to be used for November 2025.
This means if your priority date is before December 1, 2021, you are eligible to file Form I-485 (Adjustment of Status) — even if your Final Action Date has not yet become current.
⸻
Forecast & Outlook
•Expect slow movement through the winter months due to high demand and existing backlogs.
•Modest advancement may occur by mid-2026 if demand stabilizes.
•There is no retrogression this month; however, the annual limit of 10,000 visas for the “Other Worker” category continues to impact the pace of movement.
⸻
What This Means for You
•If your priority date is before July 15, 2021, your case may soon be eligible for final visa issuance.
•If your priority date is before December 1, 2021, you can proceed with filing under the current USCIS policy.
