US October 2026 Visa Bulletin Updates Employment-Based Green Card Dates for Indians
The US fiscal year 2027 began with updated visa allocations for Indian Green Card applicants, reopening previously exhausted employment-based categories. The October 2026 Visa Bulletin shows advancement in EB-1 and EB-4 final action dates, while EB-2 and EB-3 dates remain mostly unchanged. Filing dates for EB-1 and EB-4 moved forward, allowing more applicants to proceed with their cases. These changes reflect the annual visa limit reset, though some applicants may still face delays despite the new fiscal year.
