The April 2024 Visa Bulletin is out!
If you are looking for the latest developments in visa policies and procedures, then rest assured that AVA Global has you covered with our comprehensive overview of the key highlights of the April 2024 Department of State Visa Bulletin.
The Visa Bulletin is divided into to two different categories: Family-Sponsored Categories and Employment-Sponsored Categories. For the month of April, per USCIS, Family-sponsored categories should continue using the “Dates for Filing Chart;” however, all employment-based immigration categories will use the “Final Action Dates” chart.
Family-Sponsored Categories:
For the Family-Sponsored Categories, the Dates for Filing remains unchanged from the March visa bulletin with the exceptions of the F4 category for India, which advanced nearly two months from February 22, 2006 to April 8, 2006. Similarly, the F4 category for the Philippines advanced one full year!
Employment Sponsored Categories:
For Employment-Based Categories, under the Final Action Dates, the EB-4 category for all countries has made significant progress with 11 months of advancement; however, the EB-4 “Certain Religious Workers” category for all countries is displayed as “unauthorized” meaning adjustment is unavailable for those who priority date falls within this category. EB-1, EB-2, EB-3, and EB-3 “Other Workers” categories have also made advancement, including the EB-1 category for India, which moved five months ahead.
