The U.S. Department of State has released the Visa Bulletin for December 2017. This Bulletin includes information on the diversity visa cut-offs, the Special Immigrant translator visa availability, the retrogression of Philippines family-sponsored preference categories, and the scheduled expiration of two employment visa categories.

USCIS has advised that in December it will be accepting adjustment of status applications based on filing dates for family-based cases. However, final action dates must be used for employment-based cases.
