Frequently Asked Questions
What is the current EB-3 India Final Action date?
The June 2026 Visa Bulletin lists December 15, 2013 as the EB-3 India Final Action date. Petitions with a priority date earlier than this can reach final action this month.
Is this a prediction of future movement?
No. Everything on this page — the chart, the movement averages, the records — measures bulletins the State Department has already published. Cutoff dates can advance, stall, or retrogress without warning; historical pace is not a forecast, and we never publish predicted dates.
Why does the chart drop in places?
Drops are retrogressions: months where the State Department moved the cutoff date backward, usually because demand exceeded the visas available. They are charted exactly as published. Gaps in the line are months the official archive does not serve; green bands are periods the category was Current.
How is the movement pace computed?
The trailing 12- and 36-month figures are the mean of the recorded month-over-month cutoff movements (in days) inside each window, using the same shared calculation as the H-1B Barometer's personal calculator. Months without a comparable cutoff (Current, Unavailable, or archive gaps) are excluded rather than estimated.
