August 2021 Visa Bulletin: India EB-3 Advancement Continues

 


The August visa bulletin is bringing good news to EB applicants:

  • EB-1 China and India remain current. 
  • EB-2 China advances 121 days. 
  • EB-3 India advances 6 months.
  • EB-5 Vietnam becomes current.

The I5 and R5 categories in the final action date chart remain unavailable as the EB-5 Regional Center Program expired at the end of June.

Family categories are advancing gradually as well. 

In August, USCIS will use the FD Chart for family-based applications (F2A applicants may file using the Final Action Date Chart) and the AD Chart for employment-based applications for I-485 case acceptance.
