Visa bulletin, employment-based charts

The November 2021 visa bulletin

Every employment-based cutoff the State Department published for November 2021, on both charts, for the five countries the bulletin lists separately. Beside each cutoff is what it did since the October 2021 bulletin. The newest bulletin held here is September 2026.

A date means applications with a priority date earlier than it can act that month. Current means every priority date can; Unavailable means none can, usually because the fiscal year's numbers for that category and country are used up. The EB-5 set-aside rows did not exist yet in this month's bulletin; they begin in May 2022.
