June 2026 Visa Bulletin: India EB-1 &EB-2 Retrogression
In June, the cut-off dates for family-based categories advance slightly across most countries
In the employment-based categories, due to high demand and increased consumption of available visa numbers, India EB-1 retrogresses by 3.5 months, and EB-2 retrogresses by approximately 10 months. The Department of State indicates that further retrogressions or that categories may become unavailable in the coming months if India’s per-country cap limits are reached before the end of the fiscal year.
EB-3 India and China advance slightly, but further adjustments may also be made depending on visa number usage.
In June, USCIS will accept family-sponsored adjustment of status applications based on the Filing Dates chart, and employment-based adjustment of status applications based on the Final Action Dates chart.
