Visa Bulletin tháng 6/2026: EB3 Priority Dates & EB2 NIW Updates Released
The June 2026 Visa Bulletin has been published by the U.S. Department of State. EB-3 applicants and those tracking EB2 NIW/EB1A priority dates should review the latest cutoff movements.
The U.S. Department of State has released the official Visa Bulletin for June 2026, and the immigration community on Reddit is directing applicants to review the latest priority date cutoffs. The bulletin is the primary reference used by USCIS and the National Visa Center to determine which applicants may file for adjustment of status or proceed with consular processing.
For EB-3 applicants — including skilled workers, professionals, and unskilled workers — the monthly visa bulletin determines whether a green card application can move forward based on the applicant's priority date and country of birth. Movements in the Final Action Dates and Dates for Filing charts directly impact when applicants can submit Form I-485 or expect their cases to be processed at U.S. embassies abroad.
Applicants from high-demand countries such as India, China, Mexico, and the Philippines should pay close attention to the EB-3 cutoff dates, as retrogression or forward movement can significantly affect their timelines. Similarly, EB-2 NIW and EB-1A filers will want to note any favorable shifts in their respective preference categories.
Applicants are encouraged to visit the official State Department link shared in this post to review the full June 2026 Visa Bulletin and compare current dates against their own priority dates. Consulting with an immigration attorney is recommended for those near the cutoff threshold.
US employment-based green card categories EB-1, EB-2, EB-3, and EB-5 reopen for the new fiscal year on October 1, with fresh visa number allocations and updated priority dates. Registrations open the following day, offering new opportunities for applicants in the queue.
India EB categories experienced rapid retrogression in recent visa bulletins, sparking community concern that Rest of World (ROW) EB-3 priority dates could face similar cutbacks in coming months.
The June 2026 Visa Bulletin's Section D reveals that Presidential Proclamations 10949 and 10998 are directly driving India EB-1/EB-2 retrogression, while Rest of World dates remain current — a detail most coverage is missing.
