The U.S. State Department has released the April 2026 Visa Bulletin, announcing significant advancements in visa processing dates for several categories. Notably, the F2A category for spouses and children of Green Card holders is now CURRENT for all countries, and the EB-2 and EB-3 categories for professionals and skilled workers are CURRENT for most countries. This change aims to prevent visa wastage due to recent pauses in other visa categories.
Key Details:
- F2A category (Spouses/Children of Green Card Holders): “Dates for Filing” is CURRENT for all countries.
- EB-2 and EB-3 categories (Professionals/Skilled Workers): “Dates for Filing” is CURRENT for most countries.
- The government warns that this is a temporary window, with expectations of severe retrogression later this year.
- Eligible applicants are encouraged to file their Adjustment of Status applications immediately to take advantage of the current dates.
This advancement offers a crucial opportunity for many immigrants, but the impending retrogression may limit future applications. Need help with your immigration case? Visit QuickFiling.us for professional immigration services.
