The U.S. Department of State has released the March 2026 Visa Bulletin, and the headline remains the same: every EB-5 reserved set-aside category (Rural, High Unemployment Area (HUA), and Infrastructure) remains ‘Current’ for all countries, including India and China. This enables concurrent U.S. adjustment filings via Chart B.
At the same time, the unreserved EB-5 category continues to show significant backlogs for Chinese applicants (Final Action: 15 Aug 2016) and Indian applicants (Final Action: 01 May 2022), highlighting the role of the RIA set-aside categories within the EB-5 visa allocation framework from those countries.
For Chinese applicants, Chart B advanced by 40 days in March. While this is a modest improvement, the Final Action Date still reflects nearly a decade of backlog.
For Indian applicants, both Chart A and Chart B remain unchanged from February.
Importantly, none of these backlogs apply to the EB-5 reserved set-aside categories, which remain current for both countries.
