India EB1 Cutoff Demonstrates That Priority Workers Face Limits Too
The October 2026 bulletin includes an India-specific first-preference employment cutoff rather than marking every EB-1 applicant current.
What was reported
The October 2026 bulletin includes an India-specific first-preference employment cutoff rather than marking every EB-1 applicant current.
Why it matters
Priority-worker classification can have different requirements from EB-2 and EB-3, and a favorable date does not override substantive petition or admissibility requirements.
What to watch
Confirm the exact date in the published bulletin and the relevant USCIS filing chart.
Reporting limits
