Is the EB-1 subject to Dynamic Priority Date?

The EB-1 visa is a category that, in most cases, does not face the dynamic priority date mechanism (Dynamic Priority Date) as seen in other employment-based visa categories. Generally, this category tends to be “current”, meaning that there is immediate availability of visa numbers for applicants regardless of their country of origin. This means that for the vast majority of applicants in this category, the process does not remain pending while waiting for a priority date to advance.

However, it is important to remember that immigration law environments can change. Although the EB-1 historically does not experience frequent retrogression, it is necessary to monitor the monthly Visa Bulletin published by the Department of State to confirm that visa numbers remain available. Changes in policies or variations in case volume can eventually alter this scenario in the future.

It is always worth emphasizing the importance of following United States immigration laws, seeking guidance from reliable sources, and avoiding scams or marketing campaigns that promise guaranteed results. Each situation is unique, and up-to-date information consulted through qualified professionals is essential to making the right decisions during the process.
