The October Visa Bulletin marks the start of Fiscal Year 2027! 🇺🇸

The Department of State has released the October 2026 Visa Bulletin, bringing an important update:
⚠️ USCIS announced that this month, both family-sponsored and employment-based categories must follow the Dates for Filing chart.
Why does this matter? Because the two charts reflect different timelines. The Dates for Filing chart determines when you can submit your adjustment of status application, while the Final Action Dates chart shows when an application can actually be approved and a visa issued.

When the chart used shifts, the published dates change as well, which is why this month’s numbers may cause some confusion.

It is worth noting that October marks the beginning of a new fiscal year, refreshing the annual quota of available immigrant visas. Conservative adjustments during this initial month are standard practice as the Department of State manages accumulated demand from the prior year.

As always, the real impact depends on each specific application. Your priority date, country of chargeability, and current procedural stage determine what this update means for you.

🇺🇸 If you are a K&G client and want to understand how this bulletin affects your process, our team is ready to guide you with clarity and precision!

Work authorization approved, and Carolina didn’t hide her emotion. 🇺🇸

The EAD (Employment Authorization Document) arrived following her marriage-based Adjustment of Status petition, bringing something many often underestimate: the opportunity to work legally in the United States while the Green Card application runs its course.

We know just how much this moment represents a dream come true. And that is precisely why we do this work: every approval marks a real milestone in someone’s life, not just another document in a case file.

With her EAD in hand, she can now pursue professional opportunities, contribute financially to her family, and navigate this new chapter in the United States with greater independence.

Congratulations, Carolina! May this be just the first of many achievements here, count on us!

What does the profile of an architect approved for an O-1 visa look like? 🇺🇸

Sandra is a specialist in custom cabinetry and interior design, with over 13 years of experience in the field. From technical detailing to management, she built a solid career in Brazil, and now she is going to do that exact work in the United States.

The interesting thing is that many people with a strong track record like hers have never considered the O-1 visa, assuming it is only for a few specific professions. It is not.

The O-1 visa is for individuals who demonstrate extraordinary ability in their field, whatever that field may be. Architecture, medicine, business, technology, the arts. What determines eligibility is not the title of the profession, but the level of achievement you have built within it.

Your background might qualify for a U.S. visa without you even realizing it. The only way to find out is by taking a closer look at your trajectory.

O-1A approved for an Entrepreneur in the Logistics and Foreign Trade sector! 📦🇺🇸

V Desmarais | Victor Demarré - GREEN CARD 🇺🇸 called Gustavo to share the long-awaited news of his O-1A approval. For him, this marks the start of a brand-new journey—now in the United States.

👤 Gustavo is an entrepreneur with a solid track record in foreign trade, importing, logistics, and international business. His career is distinguished by national and international recognition, the result of years spent establishing authority in a highly strategic and competitive industry.

This case features a key detail that deserves special mention: it was a self-sponsored O-1A. Gustavo established his own company in the United States and used it to sponsor his visa—a modality recognized by USCIS, provided that the corporate structure is legitimate and the qualifying relationship between the entity and the beneficiary is genuinely substantiated.

The path was not entirely without hurdles. We received an RFE (Request for Evidence) issued by USCIS. We responded strategically with strengthened documentation, and the approval followed. ✅

The O-1A visa is intended for individuals with extraordinary ability—those who have risen to the very top of their field. It is worth emphasizing an important point: this category is not built on a single achievement. It is established through a combination of diverse pieces of evidence that, together, demonstrate a consistent record of sustained acclaim over time.

That is precisely what Gustavo’s case demonstrated.

Congratulations, Gustavo! A new chapter begins now. 🇧🇷➡️🇺🇸

A great approval doesn’t end at USCIS, it is confirmed at the consulate! 🇺🇸

👤 Ana is an anesthesiologist and specialist in interventional pain medicine, with a solid career bridging clinical practice and scientific research. She is a Fellow of the World Institute of Pain, an Associate Editor for a scientific journal in her field, an author of articles and book chapters, and a speaker at medical conferences. In the United States, she will work as a Research Scientist in interventional pain medicine.

And here is a key point to highlight: the approval of the I-129 petition by USCIS is only the first step. The visa itself is only issued after the consular interview, where everything structured in the petition must be confirmed.

Ana successfully completed this final stage, and her visa was approved! ✅

L-1A Visa approved—no RFE and in record time! 🏢🇺🇸

👤 Alberto is an entrepreneur, founder, and CEO of a Brazilian company in the medical and aesthetic equipment sector, bringing over 15 years of executive experience leading the business. Now, he will lead the expansion of the affiliated company’s operations in the United States, working strictly in an executive capacity: strategic direction, governance, business development, and team leadership.

This is an L-1A New Office petition, one of the most demanding categories in U.S. immigration law. In addition to establishing the qualifying relationship between the Brazilian and U.S. entities and proving the executive nature of the position, it requires demonstrating that the U.S. operation has a real structure and a solid growth plan. Every element must be meticulously structured from the outset.

The outcome? A direct approval, with no RFE, achieved in record time. ✅

Congratulations, Alberto and Isabelly. We look forward to welcoming you to the United States! 🇺🇸

USCIS just changed a rule that directly affects anyone with an immigration case in progress. 🇺🇸

Until now, when a petition arrived incomplete or with insufficient evidence, USCIS would typically issue an RFE (Request for Evidence) or a NOID (Notice of Intent to Deny), giving the applicant a chance to supplement the documentation before any decision was made.

That is changing.

In a policy update published on August 5, 2026, effective immediately, USCIS restored officers’ discretion to deny a petition directly, without first issuing an RFE or NOID, when the case fails to establish eligibility at the time of the initial filing.

What this means in practice:

There used to be an approach of never denying outright, always giving a chance to correct. That’s over. Poorly prepared cases can now be denied directly, with no prior notice and no explanation of what was missing.

Deadlines have also become stricter. RFEs still carry a maximum limit of 12 weeks and NOIDs of 30 days, but officers are no longer required to grant the maximum period. And the additional 14 days that existed for notices mailed abroad have been eliminated.

The expected result is clear: more direct denials and shorter windows to respond.

And this is where the most important lesson lies. The room to “file now and fix it later” has practically vanished. The case must be complete, solid, and well documented from day one, because the safety net that existed before is no longer guaranteed.

This reinforces something we have always stood by: the quality of the initial petition is not a detail. It’s what separates an approval from a denial with no second chance.

If you have a case in progress or plan to start one, this is the moment to make sure everything is done right the first time.
