What the recent pace means — honestly
EB-5 India is listed as “U” (Unavailable) in the July 2026 bulletin — the annual limit is exhausted and no visas can be issued for the rest of the fiscal year. Watch the October bulletin: that is when the new fiscal year's quota arrives and “U” categories normally get a fresh cutoff date.
For context, the average pace across the full record (Jan 2024–Jun 2026) is 18 days per month, with 2 retrogressions along the way. Movement is lumpy: big jumps often come right after October 1, when the new fiscal year's visa quota becomes available, while late-summer bulletins (July–September) are where stalls, retrogressions and “U” status tend to appear.
Extrapolations from published cutoffs only — not legal advice, not a guarantee. Verify against the official Visa Bulletin.
