🇺🇸 NOVEMBER 2026 VISA BULLETIN: SOME FORWARD MOVEMENT FOR INTERNATIONAL NURSES! 🩺
There is encouraging news for nurses waiting for their American dream: the November Visa Bulletin shows progress in several EB-3 Final Action Dates compared with October.
Here is what changed:
✅ Most African countries and other countries under “All Chargeability Areas Except Those Listed”:
May 15, 2024 ➡️ June 15, 2024
That is ONE MONTH of forward movement!
✅ Mexico:
May 15, 2024 ➡️ June 15, 2024 — also one month forward.
✅ Mainland China:
January 8, 2022 ➡️ January 22, 2022 — two weeks forward.
✅ India:
January 1, 2014 ➡️ January 22, 2014 — three weeks forward.
▪️ Philippines:
Remains at August 15, 2023 — no movement this month.
📌 WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR YOU?
If your case falls under the general EB-3 column, your priority date must be EARLIER than June 15, 2024, to fall within November’s Final Action Date.
For example, a June 1, 2024 priority date falls within the cutoff; a June 15, 2024 priority date does not.
Meeting the cutoff does not automatically guarantee an interview or visa issuance. Your case must also meet all processing and eligibility requirements.
📂 Stay in contact with your recruiter or immigration attorney and follow any instructions regarding your case.
For everyone still waiting: this is a positive step forward. Keep preparing, stay informed, and keep your dream alive. 🇺🇸✨
