The Department of State has released the November 2020 Visa Bulletin. D&S provides a Monthly Summary of the employment-based priority dates. USCIS has advised that, in November 2020, it will once again accept adjustment of status applications for both employment-based and family-based petitions based on the November Bulletin’s application filing dates for all categories except for the F2A family-based category, which may file based on final action dates.
With respect to Application Filing Dates, all categories (with the exception of the “Other Workers” category) will remain unchanged from October. As for Final Action Dates, all countries of chargeability, except India and China, will remain current. EB-1 China and EB-1 India will advance six months to December 1, 2018.
