The U.S. Department of State posted the July 2023 visa bulletin, and there are some significant shifts to be seen. Unfortunately, in the most notable movement, EB-3 for India retrogressed from June 15, 2012, in June to January 1, 2009, and EB-3 for the rest of the world, Mexico, and the Philippines also retrogressed. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Serves has stated that for July 2023, applicants in all family-sponsored preference categories must use the Dates for Filing chart and applicants in all employment-based preference categories must use the Final Action Dates chart.
