• EB-2 India: Priority dates for visa numbers for Indians in the EB-2 category are expected to advance by 4 to 6 months in the coming months, with even more significant advances expected through May. However, as demand builds toward October, the government may limit the availability of these visa numbers, resulting in the priority date remaining stagnant or even moving backward in time (“retrogression”).
  • EB-3: Priority dates for visa numbers are expected to advance rapidly over the next 1-6 months for citizens of all countries except India, Mexico, and the Philippines.

Advancement of 2-4 weeks is expected in the family-sponsored categories.
