EB-5 Insights: What the June 2026 Visa Bulletin Signals for Investors

The U.S. Department of State (DOS) has released the June 2026 Visa Bulletin. The reserved categories (Rural, High Unemployment, and Infrastructure) remain current. In the unreserved categories, there was no movement for China and India, with final action dates remaining September 22, 2016, and May 1, 2022, respectively.

United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) confirmed that EB-5 investors filing adjustment of status in June must use the Final Action Dates, also known as Chart A.

The June 2026 Visa Bulletin continues to list an unreserved warning for India, as it did in May. The State Department notes that rising unreserved demand “may make it necessary to retrogress the final action date or make the category unavailable.” However, this primarily impacts pre-RIA Indian investors as many post-RIA investors have chosen Targeted-Employment Area (TEA) projects that are eligible for reserved visas.

For investors considering EB-5 today, the Rural, High-Unemployment (HUA), and Infrastructure reserved categories continue to remain current. This may benefit investors seeking to file adjustment of status (I-485) concurrently with their Immigrant Petition by Regional Center Investor (I-526E).

Project demand is surging ahead of the EB-5 grandfathering provision deadline on September 30, 2026. If you’re interested in discussing your immigration aspirations or learning more about EB-5, our team at CMB Regional Centers is ready when you are.
