November 2024 Visa Bulletin Predictions: Will Visa Dates Advance for India?
The October 2024 Visa Bulletin is out, marking the start of the new fiscal year and the release of a fresh batch of visas. However, there’s very little movement in the EB1, EB2, and EB3 final action dates for India.
If you are wondering what to expect for EB1, EB2, and EB3 final action dates for India in the November 2024 Visa Bulletin, you are in the right place. Let’s explore it in this blog.
Analysis of FY 2024 U.S. Visa Bulletin Trends
EB1 Movements for India in FY 2024
Let’s start by reviewing the trends in EB1 final action dates for India, as shown in the monthly Visa Bulletins for fiscal year 2024.
In the October 2023 Visa Bulletin, EB1 final action dates for India advanced by 5 years.
By January 2024, EB1 final action dates had moved forward by 3.8 years.
In July 2024, the final action dates advanced by almost a full year.
The key takeaway is that EB1 and EB1A final action dates for India are progressing quickly in FY 2024. The great news is that the current wait time for an EB1 or EB1A Green Card for Indian applicants is now just 2 years.
EB2 and EB3 Movements for India in FY 2024
In the October 2023 Visa Bulletin, both EB2 and EB3 categories showed significant movement. However, for the rest of FY 2024, the EB2 final action date advanced by only two months at its peak, and the EB3 final action date advanced by one month at its maximum.
November Visa Bulletin Predictions for the EB1 Category
Let’s discuss the anticipated movement of the EB1 final action date for India in the November 2024 Visa Bulletin.
As you know, October marks the beginning of a new fiscal year, bringing a fresh supply of immigrant visa numbers to meet the annual limits. Naturally, we can expect advances in the EB1 or EB1A final action date for India in the coming months.
What can we expect in the November 2024 Visa Bulletin for EB2 and EB3 Indian applicants?
Since the start of a new fiscal year in October means a fresh batch of visas, we might see some progress in the upcoming month; but after that, things could slow down again and even stay stagnant.
Conclusion
The November 2024 Visa Bulletin prediction is based on trends from previous bulletins; however, final action date movements are influenced by visa demand. The EB1A category remains the fastest option for Indian applicants seeking a green card.
