The State Department released latest visa bulletin on July 21, 2026.

Many family-based green card categories experienced a shift forward in applicant priority dates, easing delays for family members overseas.

Employment-based visas tightened up, with EB-1 for Indian nationals ending after slipping back in priority dates.

EB-2 and EB-3 India cutoff dates reflected no immediate change, but could shift in future updates.

EB-5 rules stay the same for now, requiring no revisions from applicants.

Filing deadlines and visa availability vary by country, requiring personal review.
