2026年11月美国移民排期解读：亲属移民四类前进一年，职业移民表B稳定，I-485递交窗口扩大 November 2026 Visa Bulletin Analysis: Four Family-Based Categories Advance One Year, Employment-Based Dates for Filing Hold Steady, and the I-485 Filing Window Widens
一句话核心总结（TL;DR）：2026年11月签证排期中，中国大陆出生申请人的亲属移民F1、F2B、F3、F4表B均前进约一年；职业移民各类别表B与10月相同，表A仅EB-1前进1个月、EB-3前进14天，EB-2（含NIW国家利益豁免）表B仍为2023年1月1日。USCIS确认11月亲属和职业移民均使用表B（Dates for Filing）判断能否递交I-485。核心结论：表B决定"何时可以递交"，表A决定"何时可以获批"；优先日必须早于截止日，配额通常按出生地而非国籍判断。I-485是包含I-765、I-131、I-693及背景解释的系统工程，已进入窗口的申请人应尽早核对资格、完成体检、梳理身份记录。
TL;DR (English): In the November 2026 Visa Bulletin, for applicants born in mainland China, the family-based F1, F2B, F3, and F4 Dates for Filing each advanced about one year, while all employment-based Dates for Filing stayed the same as October; Final Action Dates moved only for EB-1 (one month) and EB-3 (14 days), and the EB-2 (including NIW) Date for Filing remains January 1, 2023. USCIS confirmed that both family- and employment-based applicants use the Dates for Filing chart for I-485 eligibility in November. Key point: Dates for Filing control when you may file; Final Action Dates control when you may be approved. Your priority date must be earlier than the cutoff, and chargeability is generally based on country of birth, not citizenship. The I-485 is a full package involving I-765, I-131, I-693, and background explanations, so applicants now within the window should verify eligibility, complete the medical exam, and review their immigration records early.
新未名律所立足美国首都华盛顿地区，长期为大华府DMV地区、马里兰(Maryland)、弗吉尼亚(Virginia)及全美的华人、留学生、博士后及高科技/科研人员办理EB-1A、NIW国家利益豁免、EB-2/3 PERM、亲属移民及I-140/I-485身份调整。美国国务院公布2026年11月签证排期后，作为靠谱华人移民律师团队，我们把排期变化、I-485递交条件和准备要点整理如下。
New Weiming Law Group is based in the Washington D.C. metropolitan area and has long represented Chinese nationals, international students, postdocs, and STEM professionals in the DMV region, Maryland, Virginia, and nationwide in EB-1A, NIW, EB-2/3 PERM, family-based immigration, and I-140/I-485 adjustment of status. Following the State Department's release of the November 2026 Visa Bulletin, our experienced, reliable immigration attorneys summarize the changes, I-485 filing requirements, and preparation points below.
1. 2026年11月排期整体有什么变化？
What Changed Overall in the November 2026 Visa Bulletin?
亲属移民大幅前进，职业移民变化不大。中国大陆出生申请人的F1、F2B、F3、F4表B均较上月前进整整一年；职业移民在10月表B大幅前进之后，11月各类别表B保持不变，仅EB-1表A前进1个月、EB-3表A前进14天。USCIS确认，11月亲属移民和职业移民申请人均使用表B（Dates for Filing）判断是否可以递交I-485。
Family-based categories moved sharply; employment-based categories barely moved. For applicants born in mainland China, F1, F2B, F3, and F4 Dates for Filing each advanced a full year. After a large October advance, employment-based Dates for Filing held steady in November, with only the EB-1 Final Action Date advancing one month and EB-3 advancing 14 days. USCIS confirmed that both family- and employment-based applicants use the Dates for Filing chart to determine I-485 eligibility in November.
2. 中国大陆出生的职业移民申请人，11月哪些人可以递交I-485？
Which Mainland China-Born Employment-Based Applicants Can File I-485 in November?
只要优先日（Priority Date）早于下表表B日期，并满足其他条件（包括申请人身在美国境内），即可考虑在11月准备并递交I-485；最终获批仍须等待表A排到并通过实体审查。例如，中国大陆出生的EB-2/NIW申请人，优先日早于2023年1月1日，11月即可按表B递交。
If your priority date is earlier than the Date for Filing below and you meet the other requirements (including being physically in the United States), you may prepare and file an I-485 in November; final approval still requires a current Final Action Date and substantive review. For example, a mainland China-born EB-2/NIW applicant with a priority date before January 1, 2023 may file in November.
| 类别 / Category | 表B 递交日期 Dates for Filing |
表A 获批日期 Final Action |
本月变化 Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| EB-1 第一优先 Priority Workers |
2024-07-01 | 2023-08-01 | 表A前进1个月 FAD +1 month |
| EB-2 第二优先（含NIW） Advanced Degree / NIW |
2023-01-01 | 2021-10-01 | 不变 No change |
| EB-3 技术工人及专业人士 Skilled Workers & Professionals |
2024-04-01 | 2022-01-22 | 表A前进14天 FAD +14 days |
| EB-3 其他工人 Other Workers |
2020-10-01 | 2019-10-01 | 不变 No change |
| EB-4 特殊移民 Special Immigrants |
2025-01-01 | 2022-12-15 | 不变 No change |
| EB-5 非预留类别 Unreserved |
2021-03-01 | 2016-12-01 | 不变 No change |
| EB-5 预留类别（农村、高失业率地区、基础设施） Set-Aside (Rural, High Unemployment, Infrastructure) |
Current | Current | 无排期 No backlog |
3. 亲属移民排期前进了多少？
How Far Did Family-Based Categories Advance?
本月亲属移民出现罕见的大幅前进：F1、F2B、F3、F4四个类别表B均前进约一年，一批此前无法递交I-485的家庭申请人进入递交窗口。需要注意，F2A表B虽为Current，表A仍有截止日期，表B没有截止日不等于获批无需等待。涉及子女年龄、婚姻状态变化或申请人入籍时，这些变化可能影响移民类别和资格，需要单独分析。
Family-based categories saw an unusually large advance: F1, F2B, F3, and F4 Dates for Filing each moved forward about one year, bringing many families into the filing window for the first time. Note that F2A's Date for Filing is Current but its Final Action Date still has a cutoff, so a Current filing date does not mean no wait for approval. Changes in a child's age, marital status, or the petitioner's naturalization can affect the category and eligibility and require separate analysis.
| 类别 / Category | 表B 递交日期 Dates for Filing |
表A 获批日期 Final Action |
表B变化 DFF Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| F1 美国公民的成年未婚子女 Unmarried adult children of USCs |
2021-02-01 | 2021-01-22 | +366天 +366 days |
| F2A 永久居民的配偶及未满21岁未婚子女 Spouses and minor children of LPRs |
Current | 2026-10-22 | 不变 No change |
| F2B 永久居民的成年未婚子女 Unmarried adult children of LPRs |
2020-09-01 | 2020-08-22 | +366天 +366 days |
| F3 美国公民的已婚子女 Married children of USCs |
2015-11-01 | 2015-10-22 | +365天 +365 days |
| F4 年满21岁美国公民的兄弟姐妹 Siblings of adult USCs |
2012-11-01 | 2012-10-22 | +366天 +366 days |
4. 能递交I-485，是否意味着马上拿到绿卡？
Does Being Able to File I-485 Mean You'll Get a Green Card Right Away?
不是。能否递交I-485取决于表B，最终获批要等表A（Final Action Dates）排到。按表B递交后，部分申请人会进入I-485 Pending状态，在美国等待表A。这段等待期涉及身份维持、工作授权、旅行、换工作风险和子女年龄保护等问题，建议提前规划：
No. Filing eligibility depends on Dates for Filing, but approval requires a current Final Action Date. Many applicants who file under the Dates for Filing chart will wait in the U.S. with a pending I-485. That period raises questions about status maintenance, work authorization, travel, job-change risk, and child age-out protection, so plan ahead:
- EAD工卡：等待期间的工作许可
EAD: work authorization while the I-485 is pending - AP回美证：等待期间的国际旅行安排；H-1B、L-1持有人可依据双重意图（Dual Intent）规划旅行方式
Advance Parole: international travel during the wait; H-1B and L-1 holders can plan travel in light of Dual Intent - 工作安排与换工作风险：职业移民申请人换工作前应评估对I-140/I-485的影响
Job changes: employment-based applicants should assess the impact on the I-140/I-485 before switching jobs - 家庭成员与子女年龄：配偶子女能否一起递交，以及子女是否面临超龄问题
Family members and child age: whether dependents can file together and whether a child faces aging out
5. 递交I-485前必须先确认哪三件事？
What Three Things Must You Confirm Before Filing I-485?
① 优先日必须早于截止日
Your priority date must be earlier than the cutoff
例如截止日是2024年7月1日，优先日恰好也是7月1日，并不满足"早于"的要求。
If the cutoff is July 1, 2024, a priority date of exactly July 1, 2024 does not qualify.
② 按出生地选择排期栏
Use the chart column for your country of birth
配额归属通常依据出生地，不是国籍、护照或目前居住地。存在配偶等跨地区配额归属规则时，需要结合具体事实判断。
Chargeability is generally based on place of birth, not citizenship, passport, or residence. Cross-chargeability rules, such as through a spouse, depend on the specific facts.
③ 境内调整身份与境外领事程序不同
Adjustment in the U.S. differs from consular processing abroad
USCIS当月使用哪张表，主要关系到美国境内的I-485递交。境外申请人应按国家签证中心（NVC）及使领馆通知推进材料和面谈；表B到了不代表已安排面谈，也不保证签证立即签发。
USCIS's chart selection mainly governs I-485 filings inside the U.S. Applicants abroad should follow NVC and consular instructions; a current Date for Filing does not mean an interview is scheduled or that a visa will issue immediately.
6. 为什么说I-485不只是"填一张表"？
Why Is the I-485 More Than "Just Filling Out a Form"?
不少申请人在I-140、NIW、EB-1A或PERM阶段等了多年，容易以为"最难的已经过去"。实际上，新版I-485会详细询问身份历史、工作经历、政府或军警部门经历、组织成员身份、违法记录和移民身份违规等。对背景复杂的申请人，一个看似简单的"Yes"或"No"往往还需要解释和证据支持。表格版本、签名、付款、体检材料或递交地址出错，可能导致退件；更严重的是数月甚至一年后才被拒，而届时身份或递交窗口可能已经变化。
After years of waiting through the I-140, NIW, EB-1A, or PERM stages, many applicants assume "the hard part is over." In fact, the current I-485 asks in detail about immigration history, employment, government, military, or police service, organizational memberships, criminal history, and status violations. For applicants with complex backgrounds, a simple "Yes" or "No" often needs an explanation and evidence. Errors in form edition, signatures, payment, medical exam, or filing address can cause rejection; worse, a denial may come months or a year later, when status or the filing window may have changed.
| 文件 / Document | 作用 / Purpose |
|---|---|
| I-765 | 工卡申请（EAD） Employment Authorization Document |
| I-131 | 回美证申请（Advance Parole） Advance Parole travel document |
| I-693 | 移民体检 Immigration medical examination |
| 民事文件 Civil documents |
出生、婚姻等证明 Birth, marriage, and similar records |
| 身份与批准材料 Status and approvals |
I-94、签证、I-140或I-130批准通知等 I-94, visas, I-140 or I-130 approval notices |
| 背景解释文件 Background statements |
针对个人经历的说明及证据 Explanations and evidence addressing individual history |
7. 背景复杂会导致I-485被拒吗？
Will a Complex Background Lead to an I-485 Denial?
不必然。移民官会把申请人过去的签证、入境和移民记录与新申请交叉核对。新旧信息出现明显矛盾又没有合理解释，可能引发RFE（补件）、NOID（拟拒通知）甚至拒绝。关键在于风险是否被提前发现、事实是否如实披露，并有证据支持的清楚解释。需特别注意：
Not necessarily. Officers cross-check prior visa, entry, and immigration records against the new application. Unexplained inconsistencies can lead to an RFE, a NOID, or a denial. What matters is identifying risks early, disclosing facts truthfully, and providing clear, evidence-backed explanations. Pay particular attention to:
- 过去办理F-1、B-1/B-2、J-1、H-1B等签证时填写的信息
Information given in prior F-1, B-1/B-2, J-1, and H-1B visa applications - OPT、身份转换和此前移民申请中学校、专业、工作单位和职位的一致性
Consistency of schools, majors, employers, and titles across OPT, status changes, and prior filings - 政府、军队、警察等机构的工作经历
Government, military, or police employment - 组织成员身份
Organizational memberships - 身份空档（GAP）、未经许可工作等移民身份问题
Status gaps, unauthorized employment, and other status issues
8. I-485面试应该怎样准备？
How Should You Prepare for an I-485 Interview?
越来越多的I-485案件会经历指纹、补件、背景调查或面试。移民官往往会具体询问学习、工作职责、家庭和组织背景、过去的签证内容，以及某种情况为什么出现，而不只是确认表格答案。提前熟悉自己的材料、梳理潜在风险、准备回答方式，可以避免紧张时前后矛盾或遗漏重要事实。
More I-485 cases now involve biometrics, RFEs, background checks, or interviews. Officers often ask specifically about studies, job duties, family and organizational background, prior visa applications, and why certain situations arose, not just confirm form answers. Reviewing your own file, mapping potential risks, and preparing your answers in advance helps avoid inconsistencies or omissions under pressure.

10. 看到11月排期后，现在应该怎么做？
What Should You Do Now After the November Bulletin?
- 新进入窗口的亲属移民申请人：抓住机会，尽早核对优先日、配额归属和材料，完成体检，整理本人及家属文件，检查身份记录；涉及子女年龄、婚姻变化或入籍时单独分析。
Family-based applicants newly in the window: act early — verify priority date and chargeability, complete the medical exam, organize documents, and review status records; analyze child age, marriage changes, or naturalization separately. - 职业移民申请人：表B虽未变化，已在窗口内的申请人仍应及时推进，避免因个人情况变化错失机会；原本依靠H-1B、F-1、O-1等身份等待的人，可能已可递交I-485。
Employment-based applicants: although Dates for Filing didn't move, those already eligible should proceed promptly; people waiting on H-1B, F-1, or O-1 status may already be able to file. - 尚未进入窗口的申请人：持续完善申请基础与证据，关注每月排期，不要把单月前进幅度视为未来进度承诺。
Applicants not yet eligible: keep strengthening your case and watch each bulletin, and don't treat one month's movement as a forecast.
💡 排期前进，解决的是"什么时候可以递交"；专业准备，解决的是"递交以后怎样争取顺利批准"。
A moving priority date answers "when can I file"; professional preparation answers "how do I get approved smoothly after filing."
