The July 2026 visa bulletin

Every employment-based cutoff the State Department published for July 2026, on both charts, for the five countries the bulletin lists separately. Beside each cutoff is what it did since the June 2026 bulletin. The newest bulletin held here is November 2026.

What moved since June 2026

Every one of the 45 cells on each chart, by what it did.

Final action dates

Final action dates: 15 advanced, 27 unchanged, 1 went backwards, 2 became unavailable.

• 15 advanced
• 27 unchanged
• 1 went backwards
• 2 became unavailable

Dates for filing

Dates for filing: 0 advanced, 45 unchanged.

A date means applications with a priority date earlier than it can act that month. Current means every priority date can. Unavailable means none can, usually because the fiscal year's numbers for that category and country are used up. The three EB-5 set-asides are the reserved rural, high-unemployment and infrastructure allocations created in 2022. USCIS publishes their I-485 inventory separately.
