USCIS announced that starting May 2026, it will revert to requiring Final Action Dates for employment-based adjustment of status filings. This change means that the previously used more flexible “Dates for Filing” chart will no longer be applicable until further notice. Applicants who did not file by April 30, 2026, will have to wait until the dates advance again to submit their applications.
Key Details:
- New requirement: Final Action Dates for employment-based adjustment of status filings.
- Effective date: May 2026.
- Previous chart: Dates for Filing is no longer in use.
- Filing deadline: Applications must be submitted by April 30, 2026, to be considered.
This policy change impacts many immigrants seeking employment-based adjustments, potentially delaying their applications. Need help with your immigration case? Visit QuickFiling.us for professional immigration services.
