The March 2026 Visa Bulletin indicates substantial forward movement in employment-based priority dates, particularly affecting EB-5 investors. Charlie Oppenheim, who has set final action dates at the State Department for 23 years, warns that these date movements may be temporary due to a policy limiting processing from certain countries.
Key Details:
- All three reserved categories for EB-5 (rural, high-unemployment areas, and infrastructure) remain current for March 2026.
- Chart B is still available, allowing for concurrent filing options for investors in the U.S.
- The absence of a warning footnote in the March bulletin provides approximately 60 days of confidence for applicants.
- Oppenheim projects that the reserved categories will remain current through at least April or May 2026.
This development presents a finite opportunity for EB-5 investors, emphasizing the need for timely immigration decisions. Need help with your immigration case? Visit QuickFiling.us for professional immigration services.
