EB-1 Overhaul Jan 2026: File Before Rules Get Tougher


Listen Later

If you’re an Indian H-1B holder stuck in the EB-2 backlog (still at April 2013), major EB-1A and NIW rule changes are coming in January 2026. USCIS will demand stronger evidence, more scrutiny, and higher denial risks—especially for STEM professionals in AI, biotech, and engineering.

The good news? EB-1 for India is current up to February 15, 2022. Port your EB-2 priority date to EB-1A now, file I-485 immediately, and get your green card fast—before the rules tighten.

Immigration attorney Chris M. Ingram (20+ years) breaks down the changes, shares real filing strategies, and explains how to act before the window narrows. Don’t wait 12+ years—file now to secure your future.
