The U.S. Department of State has released the October 2025 Visa Bulletin, providing the latest update on the EB-3 visa category for international nurses.
While progress varies by country, the forward movement for the Philippines is a positive sign and a welcome shift from the retrogressions we’ve seen in the past. Even when some categories remain steady, forward movement in others shows ongoing progress for international nurses on their U.S. journey.
