The December 2024 visa bulletin has been released by the Department of State, and our team at Garvish Immigration Law Group has once again summarized the important changes and noteworthy items.

USCIS’ determination for this month on which chart to use for determining when to file for adjustment of status remains the same. Applicants in both employment-based preference categories and family-sponsored preference categories will use the Dates for Filing chart.

We are two months in since the beginning of the 2025 fiscal year and progress remains the same. The December 2024 visa bulletin displays no changes from the previous month in both employment-based and family-sponsored charts. However, there is one exception. The Final Action Dates chart under the employment-based preference category for EB2 India, EB3 India, and EB3 Other Workers India displays minor movement, with progress being shown for 7 days and almost one month.

Whether you’re in the process of applying for an immigrant visa at a U.S. Consulate abroad or seeking adjustment of status to permanent residence within the United States, staying informed about these updates is crucial. Don’t miss out on the latest developments that may impact your immigration journey.

Raquiyah (Kya) Dunger is an Associate Attorney at Garvish Immigration Law Group, LLC in Atlanta, Georgia. Kya’s passion for the law arose from seeing her family’s interaction with the law. Kya’s first introduction to law was working at a personal injury law firm in Atlanta, Georgia. It was there that Kya found her passion for helping others. However, it was love that led Kya to immigration law; going through the immigration process with her husband showed her that she was not limited in the ways that she could help others in the legal field. Kya now focuses her work on employment-based immigration and nonimmigration petitions, as well as family-based immigration petitions.
