USCIS has announced that the EB-2 filing dates are now current for the Rest of the World in the March 2026 Visa Bulletin. This significant update allows eligible applicants to pursue the EB-2 National Interest Waiver (NIW) as a viable alternative to the EB-1 category.
Key Details:
- EB-2 NIW filing dates are current as of March 2026.
- Final Action Dates have advanced to October 15, 2024.
- Applicants may file EB-2 NIW I-140 and I-485 concurrently if USCIS honors Chart B.
- EAD and Advance Parole may be available while cases are pending.
This development is crucial for highly qualified professionals who previously relied on the EB-1 category, which is currently under heightened scrutiny. With the EB-2 NIW now offering a more predictable adjudication process, many applicants may find this to be an optimal time to file.
