EB-2 India Final Action Date in October 2026
The October 2026 Visa Bulletin lists the EB-2 India Final Action Date as 2013-11-01. This page records the published cutoff; it does not predict the next bulletin.
The Final Action Date is the Visa Bulletin cutoff for the EB-2 (Advanced Degree / Exceptional Ability) category and India chargeability area. Your priority date must be earlier than a dated cutoff; a category marked Current has no cutoff, while Unavailable means no numbers are available in that row for the month. This page does not replace the official bulletin or the USCIS filing-chart instruction for adjustment of status.
