The waiting period for Indians seeking green cards in the US employment-based EB-2 and EB-3 visa categories keeps increasing. According to USCIS, there is high demand from India for these visa types which require at least a bachelor's degree or advanced degree. With fewer unused family-based visa numbers to boost employment-based visas in fiscal 2024, the annual cap is expected to return to 140,000. Applicants from all countries should expect longer waits unless visa caps are raised. USCIS pledges to work with Congress for solutions but notes only Congress can lift immigration visa limits. The green card backlog for Indians in EB-2 and EB-3 continues rising absent legislative action.
