Worrying news for Indians in line for green card

The wait for permanent residency (green card) for Indians in the employment-based 2 and 3 categories in the US is getting longer. There are currently 1.1 million Indians in the queue for green cards, with most in the EB-2 and EB-3 categories. The US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has announced that no more EB-2 or EB-3 I-485s from India will be accepted during fiscal year 2024 and beyond. This imbalance between supply and demand for green cards can only be addressed by Congress.
