EB-3 India priority date

Frequently asked questions

What is the current EB-3 India priority date?

In the November 2026 Visa Bulletin, the EB-3 India final action date is Jan 22, 2014 and the date for filing is Jan 15, 2015. For most other countries it is Jun 15, 2024.

How fast is EB-3 India moving?

Over the last 12 months the final action date moved forward 5 months. Average forward movement: 5 months/year (last year), 4.8 months/year (5 years), 10.7 months/year (10 years). One month of calendar time therefore moved the cutoff by about 0.4 months over the last five years.

When will a EB-3 India priority date in Jan 2015 become current?

It is one year behind the current cutoff. If the final action date keeps moving at its five-year average pace of 4.8 months/year, that takes about 2.5 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.
