The biggest and most encouraging news for all EB1 Applicants is that EB-1 is ‘Current’ for all Chargeability areas. The final action dates for the Employment-based EB1 category are “current” for all Chargeability areas including India and China. The Dates for filing of Employment-based Visa application in the EB1 category is also “current” for all countries.
For India and China, EB1 becomes current for the first time since March 2018.
The priority Date “Current” means no backlog or no wait time for a green card. A green card is available to you within the Employment-based VISA preference category.
Priority Dates: Generally, the priority date is the date when the immigrant petition is properly filed with USCIS. In some instances, the priority date is when the labor certification application was accepted for processing by the Department of Labor.
