US Visa News for June 2026

Introduction

The US government has a new list of dates for people who want to live in the US. Some people can get visas faster. Other people must wait longer.

Main Body

Good news for some families. Spouses and children of US residents can get visas faster. The dates moved forward by five months. Bad news for some workers. People from India must wait longer for EB-1 and EB-2 visas. The dates moved back to 2022 and 2013. Other people might wait longer too. This includes some workers from China and the Philippines. There are too many people and not enough visas.

Conclusion

Some families can move faster now. But many workers from India and other countries must wait more.

The 'Fast vs. Slow' Pattern

In this text, we see words that describe speed and time. To reach A2, you need to know how to describe things that happen quickly or take a long time.

1. The Opposites

  • Faster \rightarrow More quick (Example: get visas faster)
  • Longer \rightarrow More time (Example: wait longer)

2. Movement of Time When dates change in a visa list, we use these simple directions:

Moved forward = Good news! (The date is closer to today). Moved back = Bad news! (The date is further in the past/you wait more).

3. Simple Word Pairs

  • Good news \leftrightarrow Bad news
  • Too many \leftrightarrow Not enough

Quick Tip: Use "Too many" for things you can count (like people) and "Not enough" when you need more of something.
