What this EB-3 (Skilled / Professional) trend means for Mexico

Across the verified months, the Mexico EB-3 (Skilled / Professional) cutoff has advanced roughly 270 months over the verified series. When the line advances, more applicants with earlier priority dates become eligible to file or proceed; when it retrogresses, the eligibility line moves backward and applicants between the old and new dates must keep waiting. Because employment cutoffs can swing by weeks or months from one bulletin to the next, the most reliable planning move is to track your specific category over time (chart above) and test your own priority date with the calculators linked below — not to react to a single month in isolation.

How these cutoffs are sourced and verified

Each Final Action Date on this page is transcribed verbatim from the U.S. Department of State monthly Visa Bulletin. Visafig re-checks every bulletin against the official DOS release and publishes only confirmed values — we do not estimate, forecast, or interpolate a cutoff. "C" (Current) and "U" (Unavailable) are reproduced exactly as published. The Visa Bulletin is the authoritative source governing employment-based green-card timing for every chargeability area, including Mexico.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the latest EB-3 (Skilled / Professional) cutoff for Mexico?

The most recent verified cutoff is Sep 1, 2024 (August 2026), published by the U.S. Department of State. "Current (C)" means every priority date is eligible; "Unavailable (U)" means no numbers will be issued that month. Earlier months are listed in the table and chart above.

How can I plan around this cutoff?

Use the Visafig Priority Date Reverse Estimator to set a target green-card year and see the latest priority date you can still act on, or the Visa Bulletin Calculator to check whether an existing priority date is Current against this cutoff.

What does the EB-3 (Skilled / Professional) trend for Mexico tell me?

Across the verified months, the Mexico EB-3 (Skilled / Professional) cutoff has advanced roughly 270 months over the verified series. A steady or advancing line means applicants with earlier priority dates keep gaining eligibility; a retrogressing line means some slip back. Watch the chart above and compare against your own priority date rather than reacting to a single month.

Where does this data come from and how is it verified?

Every cutoff here is transcribed verbatim from the U.S. Department of State Visa Bulletin Final Action Dates chart. Visafig re-verifies each monthly bulletin against the official DOS release and never estimates or interpolates a cutoff. “Current” and “Unavailable” values are reproduced exactly as published by the Department of State.
