EB-2 China priority date

Frequently asked questions

What is the current EB-2 China priority date?

In the November 2026 Visa Bulletin, the EB-2 China final action date is Oct 1, 2021 and the date for filing is Jan 1, 2023. For most other countries it is Apr 1, 2025.

How fast is EB-2 China moving?

Over the last 12 months the final action date moved forward 6 months. Average forward movement: 6 months/year (last year), 6.9 months/year (5 years), 11.1 months/year (10 years). One month of calendar time therefore moved the cutoff by about 0.6 months over the last five years.

When will a EB-2 China priority date in Oct 2022 become current?

It is one year behind the current cutoff. If the final action date keeps moving at its five-year average pace of 6.9 months/year, that takes about 1.7 years. This is a projection from past movement, not a forecast by the State Department; demand, visa numbers and policy changes can make it much faster or slower.
