June 2026 Visa Bulletin: EB-2 Remains Current for Green Card Filing

The U.S. Department of State released the June 2026 Visa Bulletin, showing the EB-2 employment-based preference category remains current for all countries of chargeability. This means applicants in this category can file their green card applications without waiting for a visa number to become available.

The EB-2 category covers professionals holding advanced degrees or individuals with exceptional ability in the sciences, arts, or business. The current status applies to all countries, including India and China, which have historically faced backlogs.

Other employment-based categories saw limited movement. The EB-1 category remains current for most countries, while EB-3 continues to have backlogs for India and China. The bulletin also provides final action dates for family-sponsored categories, which saw minimal changes.

Applicants are advised to consult with their immigration attorneys to determine eligibility for filing based on the bulletin's dates. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services will confirm whether to accept filings based on the Dates for Filing chart or the Final Action Dates chart.
