Summary: The August 2026 Visa Bulletin provides updated priority date information for family-sponsored and employment-based immigrant visa applicants, including specific cut-offs for oversubscribed countries and Diversity Visa lottery rankings.

This document, Number 17, Volume XI of the Visa Bulletin, outlines the availability of immigrant visa numbers for August 2026. It provides 'Final Action Dates' and 'Dates for Filing Applications' for both family-sponsored and employment-based preference categories. The bulletin notes that certain categories remain oversubscribed for China-mainland born, India, Mexico, and the Philippines. It also includes specific guidance on Diversity Visa (DV-2026) rank cut-offs for August and September, and warns that retrogression or unavailability may occur in certain categories due to high demand and annual fiscal limits.
