GREEN CARD PROCESSING 2023 | Fiscal Year 2023 – Work Permit, Visa Availability, Backlog Reduction
#usimmigration2023 #usimmigrationpredictions2023 #usimmigrationupdates
Hello, Welcome to US Immigration Updates.
Immense backlogs created by pandemic has dragged U.S. immigration processes to a crawl. As part of Fiscal Year 2023 we can except higher numbers of green cards to be processed. The employment-based (EB) annual limit for fiscal year (FY) 2023 will be higher than was typical before the pandemic, though lower than in FY 2021 and FY 2022. We are dedicated to ensuring we use as many available employment-based visas as possible in FY 2023, which ends on Sept. 30, 2023.
Question #1. Can you estimate family-sponsored or employment-based immigrant visa use by U S C I S and DOS during FY 2022?
The Department of State (DOS) has determined that the FY 2022 employment-based annual limit is 281,507 – more than double the typical annual total – due to unused family-based visa numbers from FY 2021 being allocated to the next fiscal year’s available employment-based visas. Through August 31, 2022, the two agencies used 263,510 employment-based immigrant visas. Through late August USCIS had approved more than 210,000 employment-based adjustment of status applications for individuals already present in the United States.
Question #2. Can you estimate how many family-sponsored or employment-based immigrant visas U S C I S and DOS will use during FY 2023?
DOS currently estimates that the FY 2023 employment-based annual limit will be approximately 200,000, due to unused family-based visa numbers from FY 2022 being added to the employment-based limit for FY 2023. U S C I S is committed, with its partners at DOS, to using all the available employment-based visas in FY 2023. USCIS will continue to take multiple, proactive steps in coordination with its partners at DOS to maximize the issuance of visas.
Question #3. If visas are “not required” in a particular employment-based category, are they made available in the other employment-based categories?
Congress has established statutory provisions that allow for the flow of visas “not required” in certain employment-based categories to be made available to applicants in other employment-based categories. The visas not required in EB-4 and unreserved visas not required in EB-5 are made available in EB-1. Visas not required in EB-1 are made available in EB-2, and visas not required in EB-2 are made available in EB-3. Congress did not create a pathway in the statute for visas not required in EB-3 to be made available in another employment-based category.
Question #4. Why has DOS retrogressed certain Final Action Dates or applied new Final Action Dates in the Visa Bulletin for October 2022?
