Official notes published with the bulletin, quoted as written. They describe what the State Department expects, not a guarantee.
As readers were informed in Item D of the July 2024 Visa Bulletin , demand and number use has remained high in the EB-3 visa category. Although retrogression has not been necessary for August, it will likely be necessary to either retrogress the final action date or make the category “Unavailable” in September. This situation will be continually monitored, and any necessary adjustments will be made accordingly.
