October 2025 Visa Bulletin Shows Much-Awaited Advancement in Family and Employment Visas

The US Department of State has released the October 2025 Visa Bulletin. Family-based and employment-based applicants planning to file an Adjustment of Status (Form I-485) must use the “Dates for Filing” Chart to determine their eligibility to apply.

This month’s bulletin shows significant movement for both family-based and employment-based categories, most notably in the employment-based EB2 category. If the priority date listed on your I-797 Receipt Notice is earlier than or equal to the date listed in the chart for your category and country of chargeability, you may now be eligible to file Form I-485.

To review the October 2025 Visa Bulletin please visit:  When to File Your Adjustment of Status Application for Family-Sponsored or Employment-Based Preference Visas: October 2025 | USCIS
