The State Department issued its November 2026 visa bulletin on Oct 22, and India’s EB‑1 cutoff is set at Feb 1 2023, unchanged from the last bulletin.
India’s EB‑2 remains Nov 1 2013 and the EB‑3 cutoff holds at Jan 22 2014, with the EB‑5 unreserved date fixed at Dec 1 2023.
Family sponsorships are the only category to move forward, with the FB‑2A final action date climbing to Oct 22 2026, giving families a new window for final adjudication.
The steady dates mean that Indian applicants who were waiting on the current priority dates can expect the same processing pace, with no new opportunities but also no setbacks.
Experts note that the lack of significant change points to a period of policy stability, though the next bulletin remains a variable.
Applicants should keep an eye on the State Department’s website and consult immigration attorneys for guidance.
