The EB2 All Other Countries Final Action Date, January 1, 2025, is 1.7 years behind the October 2026 bulletin month. It advanced 1.1 years over the past 12 months, about 33 days per bulletin. Past movement does not predict future movement.

Yes. The Final Action Date last retrogressed in the October 2026 bulletin, when it retrogressed from Current to January 1, 2025. Retrogression happens when demand exceeds the visas left in the fiscal year.

It depends on how you apply. The National Visa Center uses Dates for Filing to invite consular processing applicants to submit documents, and a visa is issued only once the Final Action Date passes your priority date. For adjustment of status inside the U.S., USCIS announces each month which chart it accepts for Form I-485 on its Adjustment of Status Filing Charts page.

All Other Countries covers applicants chargeable to any country except China, India, Mexico and the Philippines. The Visa Bulletin prints it as All Chargeability Areas Except Those Listed, often called Rest of World or ROW. Chargeability normally follows country of birth, not citizenship.
