If you’re a healthcare organization looking to hire international nurses or medical professionals, staying informed about the latest updates in U.S. visa processing is essential. The Department of State’s Visa Bulletin for June 2025 was just released, offering critical information about the final action dates for employment-based green cards. At VisaMadeEZ, where our immigration attorneys specialize in helping healthcare institutions recruit international nursing talent, here’s what you need to know about the June 2025 visa bulletinand what it means for your workforce needs.
What Are Final Action Dates and Why Do They Matter for Nurse Recruitment?
The final date in the visa bulletin is the date when a green card application can finally be approved for issuance, based on the applicant’s priority date. For healthcare employers seeking to sponsor international nurses, these dates determine when your chosen employees may officially receive their EB-3 green cards and start contributing to your team in the United States.
What Do These Dates Mean for Healthcare Organizations Hiring Nurses?
With a high demand for registered nurses across the United States, it’s critical to track EB-3 final action dates for international nurse green cards. For most countries including the Philippines and all chargeability areas except China and India the EB-3 final action date is October 1, 2022. This means applicants whose priority dates are earlier than October 1st, 2022, can now receive green card approval. For China, the cutoff is September 1, 2020, and for India, September 1, 2012.
For many healthcare employers, nurses from the Philippines represent a significant portion of the international nursing workforce. The current EB-3 final action date allows for movement on many overseas recruitment cases but if you are just starting the nurse recruitment process, be aware of ongoing wait times and work with an experienced immigration attorney to strategize timelines.
