Visa Bulletin
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
- Months between your priority date and the current EB-2 India cutoff.
- Average months the cutoff advanced per year over recent bulletins (Pro shows this from the bulletins we have collected).
- 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.
