USCIS announced that the April 2026 Visa Bulletin has made significant changes for the F2A category, declaring the Dates for Filing chart as ‘current’ for spouses of U.S. permanent residents. This update allows applicants both inside and outside the U.S. to proceed with their immigration processes immediately.
Key Details:
- Adjustment of Status: Individuals in the U.S. can now file Form I-485 and request work and travel authorization while their case is pending.
- Consular Interviews: Applicants outside the U.S. may have their consular interviews scheduled, with timelines varying based on local U.S. embassy processing capacities.
- Individual Evaluation: Each case will be evaluated individually, and the current opportunity may not last.
- Potential Retrogression: There is a possibility of retrogression later in the fiscal year, which could affect processing times.
This update significantly impacts spouses of U.S. permanent residents, providing them with new opportunities to adjust their status or attend interviews. Need help with your immigration case? Visit QuickFiling.us for professional immigration services.
