June 2026 Visa Bulletin: Family and Employment Green Card Dates

The State Department's Visa Bulletin sets the "final action dates" that determine when green card applicants can move forward each month. Here are the highlights from the June 2026 bulletin for the categories most relevant to families.

Family-sponsored highlights

• F2A (spouses and minor children of green card holders): Final action date of January 1, 2025 for most countries. For June, F2A numbers are exempt from the per-country limit for priority dates earlier than January 1, 2024, and all F2A numbers for Mexico are exempt from the per-country limit.
• F1 (unmarried adult sons/daughters of U.S. citizens): September 1, 2017 for most countries (Mexico and the Philippines are further back).
• F3 (married sons/daughters of U.S. citizens): February 15, 2012 for most countries.
• F4 (siblings of U.S. citizens): November 8, 2008 for most countries.

Employment-based highlights

• EB-1, EB-2, EB-3: Current for most countries except China and India.
• India retrogression: The bulletin states that high demand made it necessary to retrogress the final action dates for India in EB-1 and EB-2 to stay within the FY 2026 annual limit, and further retrogression may be necessary.
• Watch list: The bulletin cautions that China EB-2, Philippines EB-3, and India EB-5 unreserved could retrogress or become unavailable in coming months.

What this means for you

Final action dates move month to month. If your priority date is now current, you may be able to file or have your case acted on — but dates can also move backward (retrogress), so timing matters. Always check the current bulletin before acting.
