U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and the Department of State have announced new procedures for determining visa availability for applicants waiting to file adjustment of status applications. Prior to this change, DOS had published a single chart in its visa bulletin each month indicating “Final Action Dates For Employment-Based Preference Cases.” Commencing with the October 1, 2015, visa bulletin, a second chart will relate to existing DOS procedures for processing immigrant visas abroad and will govern which cases are eligible to file for adjustment of status in the U.S.
