What this means
EB-1 India covers extraordinary-ability, outstanding-researcher, and multinational-manager cases. As of July 2026 it is current, meaning eligible applicants can file adjustment of status without waiting on a cutoff — a stark contrast to EB-2 and EB-3 India. Because EB-1 has no visible backlog this month, timing is driven by petition processing rather than the bulletin.
