EB-3 India Final Action Date — 13-Month History & Trend

Across these 13 bulletins the EB-3 India Final Action Date moved from 15 April 2013 to 15 November 2013 — roughly seven months of cutoff progress over the year. The advances were spread out and mostly modest: a 7-day move in July 2025, 30 days in August, a larger 92-day step in October, 31 days in December, and 54 days in January 2026. After reaching 15 November 2013 in the January 2026 bulletin, the line then held steady for the final four bulletins through May 2026.

One comparison matters on this page more than most: EB-3 India versus EB-2 India. These two categories often sit close together for India, and at times the EB-3 cutoff has been ahead of or behind EB-2 depending on the bulletin. That relationship is why some India applicants track both lines and consider whether they qualify under one category or the other — a decision that is individual and belongs with a qualified attorney, not a chart. We describe the movement that has occurred and do not predict the next step; the recent four-month plateau is an ordinary pattern, not a signal.
