The March 2026 Visa Bulletin reveals significant shifts in green card processing influenced by the Biden and Trump administrations. Under Biden, the approval of green card cases has accelerated, leading to quickly reached annual limits and the establishment of cut-off dates to manage demand. Conversely, the Trump administration implemented policies that slowed down the adjudication of applications, necessitating the movement of cut-off dates to generate demand.
Key Details:
- The number of green cards issued annually is fixed, regardless of the administration in power.
- The EB-2 category for Rest of World (RoW) remains current, but its status is uncertain moving forward.
- Important months for potential changes in cut-off dates for EB-2 and EB-3 India are July and October.
- The continuation of USCIS honoring Chart B on the Visa Bulletin is uncertain beyond the next few months.
These developments could significantly impact immigrants awaiting green card processing, highlighting the fluctuating nature of U.S. immigration policy. Need help with your immigration case? Visit QuickFiling.us for professional immigration services.
