EB-5 Unreserved Worldwide Visa Bulletin: October 2026 Cutoffs

EB-5 Unreserved Worldwide Visa Bulletin October 2026: official cutoffs, Chart A and Chart B, 12/36-month movement, USCIS filing-chart guidance, FAQ, and source links.

October 2026 is published. Shown: official October 2026 cutoffs, not a forecast. Check USCIS guidance for the filing month.

Issue: October 2026Data updated: USCIS filing chart

EB-5 Unreserved Worldwide Visa Bulletin tracks the current Chart A and Chart B cutoff dates, USCIS filing-chart source, and recent 12/36-month movement.

Use this page as a crawlable, shareable reference for the category rather than a one-off filter state on the homepage.

Check your priority date against both charts before making a filing plan: Chart A is closer to final approval, while Chart B is only an I-485 filing window when USCIS allows it for the month.

Category background

Understanding EB-5 Unreserved Worldwide Visa Bulletin: history, demand drivers, and pitfalls

Current is the headline, the footnotes are the story

For investors born outside India and China, unreserved EB-5 has generally stayed Current: no priority-date wait, with case processing time as the real timeline. This page exists mostly so you can verify that status each month rather than assume it.

The cautionary tales are country-specific. Vietnam spent years with its own EB-5 cutoff after Chinese-style demand concentration, and any country that suddenly supplies a large share of filings can retrogress on short notice. Current today is not a guarantee for a case filed next year.

Why rest-of-world investors still watch this page

The unreserved pool is shared: heavy demand from anywhere tightens supply for everyone, and DOS has shown it will impose worldwide corrective cutoffs in other categories when fiscal-year math demands it. The history table going flat at Current every month is exactly what you want to see.

If you are choosing between unreserved and a rural or high-unemployment set-aside project, remember the set-asides carry their own separate queues — Current in both today, but they will diverge under different demand, and switching projects later is expensive.
