US Visa Bulletin For August 2024: Green Card applications from India see progress, but little
US Green Card applications: The August 2024 Visa Bulletin has been released, revealing slight progress for India's EB-2 and EB-3 categories. Meanwhile, other employment-based (EB) categories see no change. In the first preference category (EB-1, Priority Workers), the dates hold steady across all countries. For EB-1 India, the cutoff date remains February 1, 2022.
This update is particularly significant for Indian applicants in the EB-2 (Advanced Degree Professionals) and EB-3 (Skilled Workers) categories, as any forward movement in priority dates can impact their green card application process. While the advancements are minor, they provide a glimmer of hope for many waiting in line.
The unchanged status of the EB-1 category suggests that demand remains high, and the backlog continues. The steady date of February 1, 2022, for EB-1 India indicates that applicants will have to wait longer for their priority dates to become current.
