🚨 BIG MOVEMENT in the September 2026 Visa Bulletin! 🇺🇸
September is the final month of Fiscal Year 2026, and several family-sponsored preference categories moved forward significantly — in some cases by YEARS instead of months. 👀
Here are some of the biggest changes in the Final Action Dates:
📈 F1 – Unmarried adult children of U.S. citizens: moved forward more than 13 months
📈 F2B – Unmarried adult children of permanent residents: moved forward almost 20 months
📈 F3 – Married children of U.S. citizens: moved forward approximately 29 months
📈 F4 – Brothers and sisters of U.S. citizens: moved forward more than 2 years
For F2A – spouses and unmarried children under 21 of permanent residents, the Final Action Date for most countries is now August 22, 2026. Mexico remains subject to a different cutoff date.
And there is movement for Special Immigrant Juveniles (SIJS/EB-4) too. 💜 The Final Action Date advanced 2 months to December 15, 2022. It may not be the huge jump we saw in some family categories, but every month forward matters for young people who have been waiting years for a visa number.
⚠️ Important: A date moving forward does not automatically mean your green card can be approved. Your priority date, immigration category, country of chargeability, and the applicable Visa Bulletin chart all matter.
