EB-3 India Priority Date Forecast
EB-3 India is among the deepest backlogs in the Visa Bulletin, and its Final Action Date has at times jumped ahead of — and behind — EB-2 India as applicants downgrade between the two. Here is how it has actually moved, and what our velocity model projects from the current cutoff.
Current EB-3 India Final Action Dates (July 2026): Jan 1, 2014
Cutoff movement
Higher = a more recent priority date is being processed (faster). Flat or downward stretches are stalls and retrogressions. Months where the category was Unavailable are not plotted.
Worked example — priority date June 1, 2015
Estimated to become Current around February 1, 2030 (range September 1, 2027 – July 1, 2112).
≈ 43 months out, based on a trailing 24-month median advance of 12 days/month (volatility ±24 days/month).
This is a statistical projection of cutoff movement, not a prediction of your individual case. Run your own date in the priority date calculator, or see the methodology and our accuracy scorecard.
