🚨 Priority Date Movement 2026: When Your Green Card Might Actually Come

The May 2026 Visa Bulletin (published April 2, 2026) has introduced a major procedural hurdle: USCIS will only honor "Final Action Dates" (Chart A) for employment-based filings in May. This means the generous "Dates for Filing" (Chart B) window that was open in April is slamming shut on April 30, 2026. If you haven't filed your I-485 by the end of this month, you may lose your eligibility to file for the rest of the fiscal year.

In this 19-minute update, we break down exactly who moved forward, who is stuck, and why the State Department just issued a "Retrogression Warning" for EB-5 India.

✔️ The April 30 Deadline: Why employment-based applicants must act now before Chart B is disabled in May.
✔️ EB-2 & EB-3 India/China: Why dates are frozen at July 2014 and November 2013 despite the mid-year push.
✔️ The F-2A Surge: Family-sponsored categories for spouses of LPRs jumped 6 full months in Final Action—we explain why.
✔️ EB-5 India Warning: The State Department's specific alert on "Unreserved" categories becoming unavailable soon.
✔️ The "Boomerang Effect": Why analysts believe recent forward movements might be "artificial" and prone to retrogression by July.
