EB-3 India Priority Date Predictions
How EB-3 India moves
EB-3 India covers skilled workers and professionals and, like EB-2 India, carries a long backlog. Its pace can diverge from EB-2 India — sometimes faster, sometimes slower — which is exactly why applicants track both. Predictions only make sense against each category's own recent trend.
How the estimate works
DateCurrent measures the EB-3 India Final Action Date's average movement over the last twelve bulletins and projects it forward. The live EB-3 India page shows the current cutoff, the month-over-month change, and an estimated window for when a given priority date becomes current.
The EB-2-to-EB-3 downgrade question
When EB-3 India is ahead of EB-2 India, some applicants consider a downgrade to file sooner. This is case-specific and reversible only with effort, so use DateCurrent to compare the two cutoffs and movement, then confirm the strategy with an immigration attorney.
The faster category changes over time. Always compare the current EB-2 India and EB-3 India cutoffs in the same month, not last year's.
Track EB-3 India each month
Check the EB-3 India page when each new bulletin is released, compare your priority date with the cutoff, and set an alert so you know the moment it moves.
