Retrogression in the employment-based third (EB-3) preference category
As readers were informed was possible in Item D of the June 2024 Visa Bulletin , it has become necessary to retrogress the worldwide EB-3 final action date (including Mexico and Philippines) effective in July. Given continued high demand and number use in this category, it will likely be necessary to either further retrogress the final action date or make the category “Unavailable” in August. This situation will be continually monitored, and any necessary adjustments will be made accordingly.
