In the January 2025 visa bulletin, there is a slight advancement for the EB-2 and EB-3 for some categories and countries. However, the waiting period for the employment-based immigration remains lengthy, which is a major challenge for employers to seek the top talent.
The January 2025 visa bulletin shows no change from last month's bulletin for employment-based categories for dates for filing. Final action dates show slight advancement for EB-2 and EB-3 in some countries and categories.
So, for EB-2, India advances two months to October 1, 2021, while China advances by one month to April 22, 2020. All other countries will advance by two weeks to April 1, 2023. For EB--3 other workers, India advances by three weeks to December 1, 2012, and other countries by one week to December 8, 2020.
As much as I know, for EB-2, the advancements were that India will advance more than six weeks to December 1, 2012. China will advance by two weeks to May 8, 2020, and all other countries will advance by six weeks to May 15, 2023. That's all I know because I read this somewhere.
