Reuters reported the information.
"Our negotiators are going to be working very, very diligently over the December and January break period, and our goal is to get something done as soon as we get back," Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer said.
The second Republican in the Senate, John Thune, also said that a deal would not be concluded before January.
In a joint statement, Schumer and Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell said that negotiators "are making encouraging progress, but challenging issues remain."
The news agency notes that immigration is one of the most divisive issues in American politics, and attempts at bipartisan reform have repeatedly failed over the past 20 years.

In January, the competition to nominate the US Republican presidential candidates for the 2024 elections will begin, coinciding with a deadline to avert a partial government shutdown.
