Visa Bulletin Final Action Date History
DOS monthly Visa Bulletin cutoff history for India, Reserved. Selections with cutoff dates render as a step line; Current selections are summarized separately.
DOS marked this country/category as Current from May 2022 through September 2026. There is no priority-date cutoff to plot for this selection.
What this means for you
Official status + observed demandChoose your country and EB-5 category. The result separates today's visa-number status from observed petition demand or queue pressure.
Visa availability today · Current
Rising filing demandCurrent now; a future wait is still possible
Rural, high-unemployment, and infrastructure all have no Final Action Date cutoff for India in the September 2026 Visa Bulletin. Current does not guarantee that every reserved category will remain current while a petition is processed.
Investor filings vs annual visa capacity
Bars are India I-526E investor petitions. The red line is approximate worldwide Reserved annual capacity converted to investor families. Reserved combines Rural, HUA, Rural + HUA, and Infrastructure filing rows.
Investor petitions FY2026 capacity at 2/family
Include the investor and accompanying derivative family members expected to use visas.
The red line is not visas remaining. DOS reports annual worldwide visa-number capacity; this view divides it by your selected family size of 2 so it can be compared with investor petitions. Country limits, approvals, carryover, and actual family composition can change the result.
