US: EB-2 & EB-3 I-485 Applications Will Not Be Taken From 2024

There are more than 1.1 million Indians in the queue for green cards already and a majority of them are in Employment-based – 2 and EB -3 categories. In a major shock to the green card aspirants, the USCIS has announced they will not accept any more EB-2 or EB-3 I-485 applications from India starting in 2024.

USCIS mentioned that they have a significant number of EB adjustment status applications in their inventory and from India EB-2 and EB-3. So they cannot accept any additional filings for the entire fiscal year 2024 and beyond.

According to Provision 203 of the US Immigration and Nationality Act, the State Department is required to estimate demand for immigrant visas quarterly.

Due to these provisions and the lack of unused family-based immigrant visa numbers, the filing dates for EB-2 and EB-3 India may not advance for several fiscal years.
