October Visa Bulletin Update: What These Dates Mean for Your Green Card Journey

The October Visa Bulletin 2026 is here. But what do the latest dates actually mean for your Green Card journey?

Join Attorney Mary Kennedy on October 2, 2026, at 3:00 PM CST for a live webinar breaking down the latest Visa Bulletin updates and helping you understand the dates that may matter to your immigration journey.

What We’ll Discuss

📅 Priority Dates
Understand what a priority date is, why it matters, and how to compare your priority date with the latest Visa Bulletin dates.

📌 Final Action Dates vs. Dates for Filing
Learn the difference between these two important charts and why understanding which date applies to your situation matters.

🇺🇸 Employment-Based Categories
We’ll review the latest October updates for employment-based categories, including EB-1, EB-2, EB-3, and EB-5, with a focus on the latest movement and what applicants should understand.

👨‍👩‍👧 Family-Based Categories
We’ll also break down the latest family-based Visa Bulletin updates and explain how the different preference categories work.

🔎 What Do These Dates Mean for You?
A date listed in the Visa Bulletin does not automatically mean every applicant can take the same next step. Your visa category, priority date, filing eligibility, and other case-specific factors all matter. We’ll discuss what to look at when determining where you stand.

➡️ What Comes Next?
If your priority date is approaching or has reached the applicable cutoff, what should you be preparing for? We’ll discuss important considerations for the next stage of your Green Card process.
