The March 2026 Visa Bulletin shows stronger forward movement than February — particularly in key employment-based categories.

Here’s what changed:

🔹 EB-1 (India & China) – Advanced forward from prior February cutoffs.
🔹 EB-2 (Rest of World) – Now current. A significant jump.
🔹 EB-2 (India) – Substantial advancement.
🔹 EB-3 (Rest of World/Mexico/Philippines) – Continued forward movement.
🔹 EB-4 – Notable advancement compared to February.
🔹 Family-based categories – Incremental progress, but no major shifts.

USCIS is using the Dates for Filing chart, creating expanded filing opportunities for many applicants.

What this means:
If you were ineligible to file in February, March may open the door — particularly in EB-1 and EB-2 categories.

Priority date strategy matters. Timing matters even more.

If you have a pending I-140 or are evaluating next steps, now is the time to reassess eligibility.
