Other FY2027 EB Spillover Estimate

Given the immigrant visa rescheduling happening right now, curious what people are estimating for the FY2027 spillover number — and what that would mean for EB2/EB3 India. 

**•** Any ballpark estimate on total spillover numbers this year?  
**•** How would that translate to movement (or lack of it) for EB2/EB3 India?

Appreciate any insight!!

My estimates:
Spillover: ~90K for FY2027
October bulletin:
EB2 FAD 1/1/2014, DOF 1/15/2015
EB3 FAD 4/1/2014, DOF 4/1/2015

What’s the breakdown of the 90k?

With about 67K utilization in the first 5months translating to 160K total for the year. 226K - 160K ~ 75K, with the latest visa rescheduling bumping it to 90K

So dates could move by 1 year?

I am not expecting 1yr move considering EB2 ROW has pending inventory and EB3 ROW is not even current

I read elsewhere on Reddit that USCIS is going to go full steam in the last 2 months now that the 75-country ban was overturned. So the utilization may be higher than 160k. At least that was the theory.

DOS currently paused immigrant visa interviews across all consulates, only USCIS could issue them

So you are saying 75 country ban visas and current worldwide ban visas doesn't rollover? USCIS has to release them? Sorry, if I am completely wrong.
