What was reported
The U.S. State Department's October 2026 Visa Bulletin opens fiscal 2027 and explains how final-action and filing dates differ across family and employment categories.
Why it matters
The presence of a recent date in one chart does not establish that an individual application is approvable. Country chargeability, category, priority date and agency filing instructions remain decisive.
What to watch
Confirm the bulletin and USCIS's monthly adjustment chart before taking action.
