EB5 High Unemployment (all other countries) wait time: what the dates show

EB5 High Unemployment (all other countries) is current in the November 2026 bulletin, so there is no cutoff to wait behind this month.

Only people with priority dates before the cutoff can get a visa number this month. The gap shows how far behind the line is today. It does not tell you how long your own case will take, because cutoffs can stall or move back.
