India has officially reached its per-country limit for EB-2 immigrant visas for the fiscal year 2026, as announced by the State Department yesterday. This means that U.S. embassies and consulates can no longer issue EB-2 immigrant visas to Indian nationals until the new fiscal year begins on October 1, 2026.
Key Details:
- All available EB-2 immigrant visas for Indian applicants have been issued for FY2026.
- No new EB-2 visas can be issued to Indian nationals until October 1, 2026.
- This situation highlights the high demand in the India EB-2 category.
- Employers and foreign nationals are encouraged to explore alternative pathways and long-term planning strategies.
The annual visa limits will reset at the start of FY2027, allowing immigrant visa issuance in this category to resume. This development serves as a reminder for affected immigrants to consider their options carefully.
