🌟 October Visa Bulletin Is Here: Time to File Your Green Card! 🌟
🎉 Big news! The October 2025 Visa Bulletin has been released, and USCIS has confirmed it will use the “Dates for Filing” chart this month. That means if your priority date 📅 is earlier than the listed cutoff date for your employment-based category (EB-1, EB-2, EB-3), you can file your Adjustment of Status (Form I-485) starting in October. 🍂📝
This is your moment to lock in your place in line for a U.S. green card 🇺🇸—don’t miss it!
🤔 What’s a Priority Date & Why Does It Matter?
Your priority date = the date on your earliest USCIS receipt notice (Form I-797) for your I-140 petition.
👉 If your date is earlier than the chart cutoff, you can file your green card application NOW.
💡 Bonus: Even if USCIS can’t approve your green card until the Final Action Dates move forward, filing in October gives you HUGE benefits:
- 🛠️ Work Authorization (EAD) → Work legally while your I-485 is pending.
- ✈️ Advance Parole (Travel Authorization) → Travel internationally & re-enter while your case is in process.
- ⏳ Peace of mind → Your application stays pending in line, protected against retrogression.
