Most people do not know that adjustment of status has been part of U.S. immigration law since 1952. Congress created it deliberately, as a practical solution for people already lawfully present in the United States who should not have to leave the country and reapply abroad just to become permanent residents. It was never a loophole. It was the law. Seventy years later, that same mechanism is being reframed as something that needs to be justified. If you have questions about how this affects your case, we are here. Schedule a consultation at ahluwalialaw.com/consultations or call us in Dallas at 972-361-0606 or Houston at 713-600-4338.

The June 2026 Visa Bulletin has been released and there are meaningful changes that affect thousands of pending cases across employment-based and family-sponsored categories.
Here is the snapshot.
What moved forward
F2A — spouses and children of lawful permanent residents — advanced to January 1, 2025 under the Final Action Dates chart for most countries. Under the Dates for Filing chart, F2A is current for all countries, meaning eligible applicants may be able to file regardless of priority date if USCIS authorizes that chart this month. Confirm at uscis.gov/visabulletininfo before filing.
DV-2026 cutoff numbers advanced across Africa, Asia, Europe, and Oceania heading into July. All DV-2026 entitlement expires September 30, 2026 and numbers may run out before then.
What retrogressed
EB-1 for India moved back to December 15, 2022. EB-2 for India moved back to September 1, 2013. The Department of State confirmed both as active retrogressions and has explicitly warned that further retrogression or unavailability is possible before the fiscal year ends. EB-5 unreserved for India is also flagged for possible retrogression as early as next month.
Who should be filing or calling their attorney right now
EB-5 set-aside categories — rural, high unemployment, and infrastructure — are current for every country including India and China. This is the most accessible path in the employment-based system for qualifying investors.
F2A applicants with pending or nearly ready applications should move this month while dates are favorable.
India-born professionals in EB-1 and EB-2 need a case strategy review. Retrogression is active and forward movement in these categories is uncertain before September 30.
Our attorneys at Ahluwalia Law Offices, PC have already reviewed this bulletin. We are ready to help you understand what it means for your case specifically.

If you are on H-1B or STEM OPT and a green card is on your radar, 2026 is the year to move from thinking about it to actually evaluating your options.EB-1A and EB-2 NIW are both self-petition pathways. No employer sponsor required. No labor certification. But the strategy behind which one to file, and when, makes all the difference. Ahluwalia Law Offices works with foreign professionals across the United States to build the right green card approach for their profile. We start with an evaluation so you know exactly where you stand before anything is filed.

The May 2026 Visa Bulletin is here, and there is meaningful movement worth understanding.

For families: F2A is current in the Dates for Filing chart. If USCIS authorizes it this month, spouses and children of permanent residents may file Form I-485 regardless of priority date and access work authorization and Advance Parole immediately upon filing.
The Department of State has flagged retrogression risk for later in FY2026. These dates may not hold. The time to evaluate your options is now.

No employer. No PERM. Just your work and what it means for the United States.
The EB-2 National Interest Waiver is for professionals whose contributions carry real national value. If you qualify, you can self-petition for a green card entirely on your own terms.
USCIS updated the standard in January 2025. The cases that succeed are the ones that are built with precision.
That is what we do.

The evidence was submitted. The officer quoted it. Then asked the same question again.
If this sounds familiar, you are not imagining it. We are seeing this pattern across extraordinary ability cases right now, and our team is built for exactly this kind of fight.

Most EB-1A RFEs come down to one problem: thin documentation.
A credential is not evidence. A letter calling someone "highly respected" is not evidence.
Evidence is: comparative data, citation context, expert analysis of impact, documented organizational role.
