March 2026 Visa Bulletin Brings Major Forward Movement of the Priority Dates and how we can help you to timely file your Permanent Resident/Green Card Application

 The U.S. Department of State released the March 2026 visa bulletin on February 19, 2026. Furthermore, USCIS determined that, for March 2026 applicants in all family-sponsored and employment-based preference categories, the Dates for Filing chart must be used.

 What are the major updates in the March 2026 Visa Bulletin?

🟦 EB-1 (First Priority Workers)

🟦 EB-2 (Advanced Degree / Exceptional Ability)

🟦 EB-3 (Skilled Workers & Professionals)

🟦 EB-3 (Other Workers)

🟦 Religious Workers

Dates of Filing for the Family Sponsored Categories have remained the same as those of the February 2026 visa bulletin. However, for the F2A category (Spouse and Children of Permanent Residents), the Dates of Filing have moved to February 22, 2026. 

What do these movements in the Priority dates mean for you?

• Beginning March 01, 2026, to March 31, 2026, you may be eligible to file your and your dependents' I-485 applications if your priority date is current under the Dates of Filing Chart for your employment-based preference category, depending on your Country of birth. 
• If your priority date is current in the March 2026 visa bulletin, you may be able to file the I-485 concurrently with the I-140 Petition, or you may separately file an I-485 application if your I-140 is currently pending or approved.
