Visa Bulletin May 2026
Definition
The May 2026 edition of the U.S. Department of State's monthly Visa Bulletin, which summarizes the availability of immigrant visa numbers for family-sponsored, employment-based, and Diversity Visa categories based on priority dates.
A key document providing 'Final Action Dates' (when visas can be issued) and 'Dates for Filing Applications' charts, showing advancements in categories like F2A (current) and EB-1 for most areas, with monitoring for potential retrogression in EB-5 Unreserved for India.
Published around early May 2026, it notes decreased demand in some areas due to prior presidential proclamations, allowing forward movement, while oversubscribed categories like F1 Mexico remain backlogged to 2007.
