June 2026 Visa Bulletin Update: EB-3 Final Action Date Advances 3 Months

The U.S. Department of State has released the June 2026 Visa Bulletin, and Murthy Law has published its analysis of the key changes affecting employment-based immigration applicants. The bulletin governs which priority dates are currently eligible for visa issuance or adjustment of status, making it a critical monthly reference for EB-3 applicants worldwide. For EB-3 (skilled workers and professionals), the June 2026 bulletin shows advancement in Final Action Dates, with movement of approximately three months reported for several oversubscribed countries. This is significant news for applicants who have been waiting years for their priority dates to become current, particularly those from high-demand countries such as India, China, Mexico, and Vietnam. For EB-3 applicants from Vietnam, the bulletin reflects the ongoing separate chargeability queue that has developed over the past decade-plus of backlog. Vietnamese nationals in the EB-3 category have faced extended wait times, and any forward movement in the Final Action Date represents meaningful progress for thousands of pending cases. Applicants and their attorneys should carefully compare both the Final Action Date chart and the Dates for Filing chart to determine which applies to their situation, as USCIS periodically accepts applications under the more favorable filing dates. Those with priority dates approaching the current cutoffs should work closely with their immigration attorneys to prepare adjustment of status packages in advance. For the most current and detailed breakdown of all EB-3 country-specific cutoff dates in the June 2026 Visa Bulletin, applicants are encouraged to review the full Murthy Law analysis and the official Department of State bulletin.
