Then the attorney asks: do you have documentation of those awards? The letters inviting you to judge those competitions? Proof of how your salary compared to others in your field?

Visa Bulletin – July 2026 Update

The July 2026 Visa Bulletin brings positive movement across several family-based immigration categories, creating new opportunities for many applicants and their families.

Here are some of the key updates:

✅ F2A (Spouses and Children Under 21 of Green Card Holders)
One of the most significant advancements in this month's bulletin, offering encouraging news for families waiting to move forward with their cases.

✅ F2B Category
The category for unmarried adult sons and daughters of lawful permanent residents also saw a substantial advancement, moving approximately six months.

✅ Family-Based Categories Continue to Progress
Several family-preference categories showed forward movement, reflecting continued visa availability as the fiscal year progresses.

⚠️ Important Reminder

If you become eligible to file based on the new dates, do not delay. Immigration timelines can change from month to month, and taking action when a visa becomes available may be critical to your case.

Every Visa Bulletin update can have a direct impact on your immigration strategy. Understanding how these changes affect your specific situation is essential.

If you have questions about your priority date or immigration options, contact Murtaz Law to discuss your case.

🇺🇸 Good news for employment-based immigration applicants!

The U.S. Department of State has announced the availability of approximately 46,000 additional Green Cards for employment-based categories in Fiscal Year 2026.

This increase could create important opportunities for professionals currently pursuing immigration through categories such as EB-1 and EB-2, helping reduce backlogs and potentially accelerating visa availability for qualified applicants.

✅ More visa numbers available
✅ Potential movement in priority dates
✅ More opportunities for highly skilled professionals and their families

While every case is unique and visa bulletin movement cannot be guaranteed, this is a positive development for many individuals planning their future in the United States.
The American Dream is still moving forward.

If you are considering an employment-based immigration process, now may be the right time to evaluate your options and understand which strategy best fits your profile.

Here are 7 things an immigration attorney can do that an immigration consultant legally cannot:

✔️ Advise on waivers and exceptions
✔️ Provide legal advice tailored to your case
✔️ Represent you before USCIS
✔️ Appear on your behalf in immigration court
✔️ Evaluate how criminal history may impact your immigration options
✔️ File appeals and legal motions
✔️ Respond to RFEs using legal arguments and case law

While consultants may assist with completing and submitting forms, they cannot provide legal representation or legal advice.

When your future, your family, and your immigration status are on the line, understanding this distinction is essential.

The right guidance can help you avoid costly mistakes and make informed decisions about your immigration journey.

Two family-based immigration cases were approved this week.

Behind every approval is a story of patience, hope, and the courage to invest in a better future.

We know that many people are feeling uncertain right now. News headlines, changing policies, and processing delays can make it seem like immigration has come to a standstill. But the reality is that cases continue to move forward every day, and families continue to achieve their dreams of building a life in the United States.

These approvals remind us of something important:

Your immigration journey is not defined by the noise. It is defined by preparation, strategy, persistence, and taking the right steps at the right time.

If you are currently waiting for updates on your case, stay focused and optimistic.

If you have been thinking about starting your immigration process but are unsure whether this is the right moment, know that opportunities still exist and pathways remain open for those who qualify.

At Murtaz Law, we celebrate every approval because we know what it represents: a new beginning, family reunification, and the opportunity to build a future in the United States.

To everyone currently navigating the immigration process: don't lose sight of your goal. Progress is happening every day.

Your world. Your opportunity.

Choosing who will guide your immigration journey is one of the most important decisions you can make.

Many people assume that immigration consultants and immigration attorneys offer the same services. They don't.

Understanding the difference can have a significant impact on your case, your options, and ultimately, your future in the United States.

In our latest article, we explain:

✔️ What immigration consultants can and cannot do
✔️ The legal authority of an immigration attorney
✔️ When legal representation becomes essential
✔️ How the right guidance can help you avoid costly mistakes

Whether you are planning to work, invest, study, or build a new life in the United States, knowing who is representing you matters.

A federal judge has struck down the Trump administration's proposed $100,000 H-1B visa fee, ruling that it constituted an unlawful tax rather than a legitimate administrative fee.

For employers, foreign professionals, and anyone following U.S. immigration policy, this is a significant development.

But beyond the headline, this decision highlights something we remind our clients of every day: immigration laws and policies can change quickly, and understanding how those changes affect your specific case is critical.

One of the most common questions we receive at Murtaz Law is:

Should I pursue an H-1B visa or an O-1 visa?

The answer is rarely simple.

The H-1B visa is designed for professionals working in specialty occupations and generally requires employer sponsorship. It is also subject to an annual lottery and numerical cap, making the process highly competitive.

The O-1 visa, on the other hand, is available to individuals who can demonstrate extraordinary ability or achievement in their field. There is no annual cap, no lottery, and often greater flexibility throughout the process.

Neither option is inherently better than the other. The right strategy depends on your background, qualifications, career objectives, and long-term immigration goals.

The biggest mistake professionals make is assuming they only qualify for one pathway without fully understanding their options.

At Murtaz Law, we take the time to evaluate each client's unique profile, identify the strongest immigration strategy, and build a case designed for long-term success. Our team closely monitors policy changes, court decisions, and immigration developments so that our clients can move forward with confidence.

If you are considering working or building your future in the United States, now is the time to understand which visa category best aligns with your goals.

Your world. Your opportunity.
