🇺🇸 United States | EB-2 green card freeze for Indian nationals: what HR teams need to know The US Department of State has confirmed that EB-2 green cards for Indian nationals are currently unavailable until 30 September 2026. India reached its annual quota, as confirmed in the July 2026 Visa Bulletin (travel.state.gov). The same freeze applies to the EB-5 regular investor category for India. For companies with Indian employees on US assignments, here is what this means in practice: → Pending cases are not rejected. Filings, interviews, and interim benefits such as work permits and advance parole can continue. Only final green card approval is on hold. → The category is expected to reopen on 1 October 2026, when the new US fiscal year begins, though this is not guaranteed. → Employees awaiting a resolution may become uncertain about their long-term plans. Proactive, transparent communication from employers can make a meaningful difference. For organisations managing Indian nationals on US assignments, now is the time to review your communication approach and ensure your teams feel supported. 📩 Speak to our team: ags-relocation.com #GlobalMobility #USImmigration #TalentRetention
