USCIS requires employment-based green card applicants in the U.S. to use the Final Action Dates chart in June, narrowing eligibility for filing Form I-485. The June 2026 Visa Bulletin shows EB-1 and EB-2 categories are current for most countries except China and India, while EB-3 remains backlogged. Specific final action dates are provided for EB-3 skilled workers and other workers for various countries, including China, India, and the Philippines. The EB-5 investor category remains current. The bulletin also notes that visa issuance for citizens of 75 countries, including Nepal, has been paused since January 21.
