Overview

  • All employment-based final action dates and dates for filing remain unchanged from August in the September 2025 Visa Bulletin.
  • USCIS confirmed it will use the State Department’s Final Action Dates chart to determine September eligibility for employment-based I-485 filings.
  • The State Department anticipates reaching fiscal year 2025 limits for most employment-based categories in August or September, with visa numbers resetting on October 1.
  • The fiscal year 2025 numerical limitation for employment-based immigrant visas is 150,037, according to the State Department.
  • Pending adjustment cases remain valid but will not be adjudicated until the applicant’s priority date is current, while related EAD and Advance Parole requests continue to be processed.
