Mỹ Siết Chặt Quy Định Thẻ Xanh 2026: USCIS Yêu Cầu Final Action Dates Cho EB-3 Tháng 6

For June 2026, USCIS has announced that applicants filing Form I-485 for employment-based green cards must use the Final Action Dates chart from the Visa Bulletin — not the Dates for Filing (Application Dates) chart. This is a significant policy shift that directly limits who can submit their adjustment of status application this month. The distinction between the two charts is critical: the Final Action Dates represent when a visa number is actually available, while the Dates for Filing allow applicants to submit paperwork earlier even if a visa number is not yet available. When USCIS permits use of the Dates for Filing chart, it opens the door to more applicants simultaneously. Restricting to Final Action Dates closes that window. For EB-3 applicants — including skilled workers, professionals, and unskilled workers — this means only those whose priority dates are current on the Final Action Dates chart may file I-485 in June 2026. Applicants whose dates fall between the two charts must wait until USCIS reopens the Dates for Filing option. This decision is announced monthly by USCIS in coordination with the Department of State's Visa Bulletin release. Practitioners and applicants are advised to verify their priority date eligibility against the June 2026 Final Action Dates chart before preparing or submitting I-485 packages to avoid rejection. EB-3 applicants should consult with an immigration attorney to confirm their filing eligibility and monitor the July 2026 Visa Bulletin for any changes to which chart USCIS will accept.
