October Visa Bulletin Brings Relief for Indian EB-5 Applicants
The U.S. government released its October Visa Bulletin.
This bulletin is like a schedule for people who want green cards (like a permission slip to live in the US).
Indian applicants for the EB-5 visa (an investor visa) get great news; their wait time is cut by almost 15 months!
This means they can apply sooner.
Other employment-based visas (EB-1, EB-2, EB-3) for Indians also see some advancement.
However, the EB-5 visa for China has moved backward by three months.
October Visa Bulletin brings major advancements for EB-5 India.
EB-5 India Final Action Dates advance by nearly 15 months.
EB-1, EB-2 and EB-3 India see smaller advancements.
The Dates for Filing chart shows broader advancements.
EB-5 China retrogresses by three months.
