October 2025 Visa Bulletin: Key Insights for Indian Employment-Based Applicants

October 2025 Visa Bulletin: Key Insights for Indian Employment-Based Applicants

Irving, Texas, 13th October: The October 2025 Visa Bulletin has been released, with the dual anticipation of both progress and challenges for Indian candidates across employment-based categories. As a dedicated EB-1A green card consultancy, GCEB1 breaks down the developments and their impact on professionals aiming for U.S. permanent residency.

For India, the EB-1 category for priority workers, which includes EB-1A extraordinary ability applicants, remains unchanged in the Final Action Dates chart. The cutoff date stands firm at February 15, 2022, leaving EB-1A applicants still facing a backlog. However, the Dates for Filing chart reveals a sense of optimism: EB-1 “Dates for Filing” for India advanced by nearly 12 months. This mobility has opened up the possibility for some applicants to submit adjustment of status paperwork earlier.

Meanwhile, EB-2 and EB-3 categories for India are witnessing a three-month forward movement, with EB-2 now at April 1, 2013, and EB-3 at August 22, 2013. These steady advancements underscore long-term momentum in other categories, though EB-1A continues to move more sluggishly.

“Understanding the nuances between the Final Action Dates and Dates for Filing is critical,” said a GCEB1 spokesperson. “This is where tailored expertise from an EB-1A green card consultancy becomes invaluable. They can empower candidates to know how and when to act.”

For Indian professionals, this EB-1A bulletin is a reminder to prepare documentation well in advance. From awards and media coverage to judging roles and remuneration, building a robust EB-1A petition is essential so that when the priority date becomes current, applications are ready to be filed without delay.

At GCEB1, our team of EB1A experts continues to monitor the EB1A visa bulletin closely. We remain committed to equipping extraordinary Indian professionals with strategies to succeed even in the face of backlogs.
