USCIS has announced that green card wait times for many employment-based immigrants may increase as demand for visa numbers continues to exceed availability. The June 2026 Visa Bulletin indicates retrogression in the EB-1 and EB-2 categories for India, with warnings of further retrogression or temporary unavailability of visa numbers if demand persists before the fiscal year ends.
Key Details:
- Retrogression announced for EB-1 and EB-2 categories for India.
- Increased demand may lead to further visa number unavailability.
- Employers are advised to adopt long-term immigration planning strategies.
- Foreign nationals should monitor Visa Bulletin updates for changes in eligibility and application timelines.
These developments highlight the importance of proactive immigration strategies for both employers and foreign nationals seeking permanent residence in the U.S. Monitoring future Visa Bulletin updates will be crucial for navigating the evolving landscape of employment-based immigration.
