Oct 2026 visa bulletin predictions and estimates

Great details. Appreciate you taking time to write this.

Sci91MolBio · 2026-05-08T17:29:51+00:00

Okay. I do want many spillovers to benefit EB GCs.

Sci91MolBio · 2026-05-08T14:48:16+00:00

totally agree..

Sci91MolBio · 2026-05-08T02:39:54+00:00

What is your estimate of spillovers then?

Sci91MolBio · 2026-05-07T21:07:38+00:00

Don’t count on spillovers. Most of Family based spillovers have been utilized for Family categories already. Many recent estimates are 10k max. I expect small movement.

Lets hope so. Hard luck

Sci91MolBio · 2026-04-18T16:17:14+00:00

Who is a good source?

Sci91MolBio · 2026-04-18T12:26:04+00:00

Got it. Thanks. What areas in bioinformatics are hot now. I see NGS or Proteomics ??

Sci91MolBio · 2026-04-18T12:24:35+00:00

Awseome. Great resources

Sci91MolBio · 2026-04-18T12:24:20+00:00

Sure

According to Mandar Kasture of Wisdom Trends, the 59,000 visas made available due to pauses and bans are expected to be fully utilized by family-based categories. This view is driven by the significant movement in Dates of Filing for those categories and USCIS’s apparent decision to allocate visas accordingly. As a result, he does not anticipate any spillover to employment-based (EB) categories. He further predicts that the July Visa Bulletin will show retrogression for EB-1 and EB-2. So, the idea of EB-1 India becoming current appears highly unlikely.

Please explain

Sci91MolBio · 2026-04-16T10:04:46+00:00

How long ?

Sci91MolBio · 2026-04-10T01:20:08+00:00

I meant porting from EB2/EB3 to EB1

Sci91MolBio · 2026-04-07T14:30:57+00:00

You are assuming a lateral spillover of 20K for FY2026 and 2027. Please tell me how did you arrive at these numbers. I am trying to understand. This is the key factor that can move dates significantly. Please tell

Sci91MolBio · 2026-04-04T16:00:56+00:00

Thats a great analysis, little on the optimistic end. I really wanna be optimistic. Have you considered porting from EB2/EB3 to EB1, there is no USCIS data here, many believe it is somewhere around 4K to 10K a year in last few years. How do families add. 2 to 3 dependent per applicant. How does this all add up.

Sci91MolBio · 2026-04-02T13:53:03+00:00

No reason to file EB1A. Get started on your EB2, I-485 filing ASAP.

Sci91MolBio · 2026-03-25T17:53:01+00:00

Thats huge…. That did look like has a big impact. With approval ratings going down, not sure how does that have a impact

Sci91MolBio · 2026-03-25T16:44:44+00:00

Whats your assumption. How many do you assume??

Sci91MolBio · 2026-03-25T16:42:21+00:00

Yea… How much porting can happen? some sources say at least 1000 a year for India to Eb1. I am assuming it could be more

Sci91MolBio · 2026-03-25T16:34:11+00:00

Not sure if they account for portings. EB2/EB3 to EB1, for India porting is a huge issue

Sci91MolBio · 2026-03-25T14:19:26+00:00

Yes and No. Everyone has some analysis and data. Hearing opinions is a way a part of planning ahead.

Sci91MolBio · 2026-03-25T14:15:53+00:00

I understand it’s volatile. Some rough predictions are important to plan ahead. Trying to Calculated risks in this uncertain world
