EB-2 India Priority Date Predictions

Last updated

The EB-2 India reality

EB-2 India is one of the longest queues in the entire Visa Bulletin. Demand vastly exceeds the per-country share of visas, so the Final Action Date sits many years in the past and often becomes unavailable in the summer once annual numbers run low. Any honest prediction has to account for that stop-start pattern.

How DateCurrent predicts EB-2 India

The estimate takes the average monthly movement of the EB-2 India Final Action Date over the last year and projects it forward to your priority date. When the category is unavailable or has retrogressed, the tool says so instead of inventing a date. The live EB-2 India page always shows the current cutoff and the latest estimate.

Reading the optimistic-to-conservative range

Because EB-2 India moves unevenly, DateCurrent shows a range rather than a single date. The optimistic end assumes a faster-than-recent pace; the conservative end assumes it slows. Your real date will usually land somewhere inside — but retrogression can push it beyond the conservative end, so plan with margin.

Should you compare EB-3 India?

Many EB-2 India applicants watch EB-3 India too, because the faster-moving category changes over time and some explore downgrading. Compare current cutoffs and recent movement on both pages before assuming one is faster, and get an attorney's view before filing anything.
