Visa-bulletin

The March 2025 Visa Bulletin shows modest advancements in EB-2 and EB-3, while EB-4 faces significant retrogression. Family-based categories remain unchanged. With fewer green cards expected in FY 2025, slow progress and potential retrogressions are likely. Employers should act quickly to file Adjustment of Status applications as demand stays high.

Getting a U.S. green card is like waiting for a VIP concert ticket—rules change, and the line moves unpredictably! Your priority date is your place in line, and the Visa Bulletin tells you when to step forward. Thanks to country caps, no nation gets more than 7% of green cards per year, meaning high-demand countries face long waits. And beware of retrogression—it can push your wait time back just when you think you're close.

The February 2025 Visa Bulletin brings minimal movement, with small advances for EB-2 and EB-3 India and China, while most other categories remain unchanged. High demand and backlogs mean slow progress, limited I-485 filings, and potential retrogressions ahead. Patience is key as visa allocations remain tight.
