Green card priority dates can be confusing, especially when deciding between Adjustment of Status in the U.S. and NVC Consular Processing abroad.

If you’ve been following the EB1 India priority dates, you already know the frustration — there hasn’t been any real movement for almost a year now. The last big shift we saw was in the October 2024 Visa Bulletin, when the Dates for Filing moved to Apr 15, 2022, and the Final Action Date advanced to Feb 1, 2022. Before that, the last time EB1 India was current was way back in the December 2022 Visa Bulletin due to COVID spillover.
