EB-5 India Set-Aside Categories Remain Current in October Bulletin
The October 2026 State Department chart distinguishes reserved investor-visa categories from the backlogged unreserved queue.
The October Visa Bulletin lists the India EB-5 unreserved final action date as December 1, 2023, while the rural, high-unemployment and infrastructure set-aside categories are marked current. These are classifications within the immigrant investor framework.
Current visa-number availability is not an approval of an investment project or proof of an applicant's eligibility. Petition adjudication, investment documentation and changing demand can affect practical processing even in a category marked current.
Investors should examine approved filings, fund risks, project evidence and government rules. A published bulletin is a snapshot of visa-number availability, not a guarantee of immigration status or financial return.
Immigration policies and visa availability can change. Consult current government instructions and a qualified immigration attorney for personal decisions; this is general reporting, not legal advice.
