When this category went backwards
The cutoff date for EB-2 All Other has retrogressed 3 times in the published record. A retrogression means the State Department pulled the date back, so people who were about to become eligible went back into the queue.
| Bulletin | From | To | Days lost |
|---|---|---|---|
| August 2025 | Oct 15, 2023 | Sep 1, 2023 | -44 |

Where these numbers come from
Final action dates and dates for filing are taken from the monthly Visa Bulletin published by the U.S. Department of State. Each bulletin is parsed into a machine-readable record and checked against the published page before it is committed, so the series here is the bulletin's own wording, not a restatement of it. The movement and backlog columns are arithmetic on those dates and are described on the methodology page.
