USCIS has updated the Visa Bulletin for June 2026, revealing critical changes for Indian green card applicants, particularly those in H-1B status. The bulletin indicates retrogression in both EB-1 and EB-2 categories, while there is slight forward movement in the EB-3 category, creating both opportunities and uncertainties for applicants.
Key Details:
- EB-2 India: Retrogression reported
- EB-1 India: Retrogression reported
- EB-3 India: Slight forward movement noted
- Continued pressure on family-based backlogs
- USCIS primarily utilizing Final Action Dates for processing
These changes can significantly affect Indian professionals and families awaiting permanent residence, influencing adjustment of status eligibility, EAD and advance parole access, job mobility strategies, H-1B extension planning, and family immigration timelines. As India remains one of the most heavily backlogged countries in the U.S. immigration system, these updates are crucial for applicants navigating their immigration journeys.
