The Department of State released its July 2026 Visa Bulletin and as expected, the EB-5 unreserved category for India has been labeled as “Unavailable”. This simply means that the allotment of unreserved EB-5 visas for Indians has been used up for FY 2026, which ends on September 30, 2026.

The good news is that India remains close to clearing its pre-RIA unreserved backlog. The remaining backlog may clear relatively quickly when visas are issued again beginning on October 1, 2026. In other news, the three reserved set-aside categories (rural, high unemployment, infrastructure) remain current for all countries, including India and China.
