The U.S. Department of State has released the Visa Bulletin for June 2025, offering limited movement across most green card categories.

USCIS Filing Guidance for June 2025

USCIS has confirmed it will use the Final Action Dates chart for employment-based categories and the Dates for Filing chart for family-sponsored categories to determine filing eligibility in June.

You can find the official charts here:
🔗 USCIS Adjustment of Status Filing Charts

Why the Wait Times Persist

Despite some forward movement, delays continue due to:

→ Annual visa caps

→ High demand from populous nations

→ Limited legislative changes on immigration reform

Even with these constraints, countries under the "All Chargeability Areas Except" category generally see better progress month to month.
