start with the good news.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The EB-3 category, covering skilled workers and professionals, has inched forward by one month. The final action date now stands at May 22, 2013, up from April 22. A month\u2019s movement may seem small, but for those who filed over ten years ago, it could be the long-awaited push toward approval.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"EB-1_and_EB-2_India_Remain_Unchanged\"><\/span><b>EB-1 and EB-2 India Remain Unchanged\u00a0<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sadly, the EB-1 (for top-tier talent) and EB-2 (for highly educated professionals) remain exactly where they\u2019ve been for months:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">EB-1 India: Still stuck at February 15, 2022<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">EB-2 India: Frozen at January 1, 2013<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These categories have become traffic jams. There\u2019s no acceleration, no exit ramp, just a prolonged wait with no clear ETA in sight.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"EB-5_India_Shows_Strong_Progress\"><\/span><b>EB-5 India Shows Strong Progress\u00a0<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re part of the EB-5 investor crowd, there\u2019s a bigger reason to smile. The unreserved EB-5 category for India jumped forward by over six months, now pegged at November 15, 2019. That\u2019s a considerable leap compared to the crawl of other categories.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even better: the EB-5 set-aside categories, meant for rural and high-unemployment zone investments, remain current. That means no backlog, no delay. File today and move forward without delay, while the window is still open.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"EB-2_and_EB-3_Categories_Near_Annual_Limits\"><\/span><b>EB-2 and EB-3 Categories Near Annual Limits\u00a0<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alongside these updates is a warning that shouldn\u2019t be ignored. The EB-2 and EB-3 categories are nearing their annual limits. If demand continues rising, the government may pause further approvals or even roll the dates backward, a process called retrogression. This could hit as early as September 2025, disrupting timelines for many who are almost at the finish line.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Final Action Dates for India &#8211; August 2025<\/b><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Visa Category<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>Final Action Date<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">EB-1 India<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">February 15, 2022<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">EB-2 India<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">January 1, 2013<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">EB-3 India<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">May 22, 2013<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">EB-5 (Unreserved)<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">November 15, 2019<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">EB-5 (Set-Aside)<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Current (no backlog)<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your petition\u2019s original filing date must fall before the listed cutoff in order for you to apply.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Next_Steps_for_EB-1_EB-2_EB-3_and_EB-5_Applicants\"><\/span><b>Next Steps for EB-1, EB-2, EB-3, and EB-5 Applicants\u00a0<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your EB-3 priority date falls before May 22, 2013, get ready, because you\u2019re officially in the green zone and can proceed with your green card application.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re considering EB-5, this is an ideal window to act, especially under the set-aside categories, where the path is still clear.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But if you\u2019re in EB-1 or EB-2, hang tight and watch closely, as September could bring retrogression, and the calm might not last long.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">August didn\u2019t break the backlog, but it cracked open a door.
