EB-1 India Priority Date Predictions
Why EB-1 India now has a backlog
For years EB-1 was current for most countries, including India. That changed as demand rose and spillover visas dried up, pushing EB-1 India into a multi-year cutoff. Because the backlog is newer than EB-2 and EB-3 India, its movement can be more volatile — large jumps forward followed by retrogression near the end of the fiscal year.
How the prediction is made
DateCurrent looks at how far the EB-1 India Final Action Date actually moved over the last twelve bulletins and projects that average pace forward. It is deliberately simple: no black-box model, just the recent trend applied to the gap between the current cutoff and your priority date. The live EB-1 India page shows the current cutoff and the estimated year it reaches a given date.
Why EB-1 predictions are uncertain
EB-1 India is especially hard to forecast because it depends on unused visas from other categories and countries, which vary year to year. A category that advanced quickly one year can stall or retrogress the next. Treat any EB-1 India prediction as a planning range, not a promised date.
The fiscal year resets each October, which often brings the largest forward jumps — and sometimes a correction a few months later.
How to track EB-1 India
