What are the Visa Bulletin predictions for EB-2 India?

Updated · Not legal advice

There is no official EB-2 India prediction beyond the notes the State Department sometimes adds to the bulletin. EB-2 India has a cutoff many years behind today because Indian demand far exceeds India's share of the annual limit; your best estimate comes from your gap to the current cutoff and how fast it has moved recently.

EB-2: current cutoff dates

See the current bulletin for this month's EB-2 dates: official Visa Bulletin on travel.state.gov. We do not copy dates by hand, so this page shows them only after our automated fetch has read the official bulletin.

USCIS says employment-based adjustment applicants must use the Dates for Filing chart in the November 2026 Visa Bulletin (USCIS filing charts).

Your estimate in three numbers

  1. Months between your priority date and the current EB-2 India cutoff.
  2. Average months the cutoff advanced per year over recent bulletins (Pro shows this from the bulletins we have collected).
  3. Divide the first by the second, then treat the answer as a wide range.

EB-2 vs EB-3 India (porting or "downgrading")

Some EB-2 India applicants file a new I-140 in EB-3 when the EB-3 India cutoff is ahead of EB-2. With an approved earlier I-140, the earlier priority date can generally be kept for the new petition (see 8 CFR 204.5(e)). Whether it helps depends on both cutoffs at the time; it needs a new petition and employer support, so discuss it with an attorney.

Quick answers

My priority date is 2013 EB-2 India; how many years until it is current?
Compare 2013 with the current cutoff above. If the cutoff is past your date, you are current; if not, divide the remaining gap by recent yearly movement for a rough range.
Is there a tool that predicts the EB-2 India final action date?
No tool can predict it reliably. Pro shows historical movement for EB-2 India so you can see the trend; treat it as context, not a forecast.
What happens to my EB-2 India priority date if I change jobs after I-140 approval?
Generally you keep it for a later I-140, unless the approval is revoked for fraud, willful misrepresentation, an invalidated labor certification or a material error. See keeping your priority date.
EB-1A vs NIW: which is faster for India?
Compare the EB-1 India and EB-2 India cutoffs in the current bulletin. The criteria are different, so eligibility matters more than speed.
