India EB-2 and EB-3 Visa Bulletin Movement: Feb–Apr 2026 Analysis

WR Immigration has published an analysis of India's EB-2 and EB-3 visa bulletin movements covering the February through April 2026 period. The piece focuses on interpreting the underlying trends in priority date advancement rather than simply reporting the published dates. For India-born EB-3 applicants, visa bulletin movement is a critical indicator of how long the queue is progressing and when individuals with specific priority dates may expect to become current. Even small monthly movements can carry significant implications for those deep in the backlog. The analysis encourages applicants to look beyond the surface-level date changes and consider factors such as annual visa cap consumption rates, retrogression risks, and the relationship between EB-2 and EB-3 final action dates versus dates for filing. India remains one of the most heavily backlogged countries for employment-based immigration, with wait times potentially spanning decades for certain preference categories. Understanding bulletin patterns is essential for applicants planning next steps such as filing I-485 adjustment of status applications. Applicants are advised to consult with an immigration attorney to interpret how current bulletin trends apply to their specific priority dates and to monitor the monthly State Department visa bulletin for updates.
