What was reported

For October 2026, the State Department lists January 1, 2014 for India's EB-3 final-action cutoff, a separate position from its EB-2 line.

Why it matters

Changing classification is not a simple method for skipping a backlog. Eligibility, labor certification, employer petition and priority-date rules determine whether any separate path is available.

What to watch

Check case facts with authorized immigration counsel and rely on official tables.

Reporting limits

Immigration rules and eligibility can change. Consult the cited official sources and qualified advisers before making a case-specific decision. RecoupRev did not independently conduct the cited transactions, measurements or events. Source documents are linked below.
