USCIS processing times for EB2 and EB3 green card applications have significantly increased, with estimates now ranging from 10 to 20 years for applicants from India. This change comes amid a backlog of over 400,000 pending applications and a 7% country cap affecting Indian nationals.
Key Details:
- EB2 and EB3 categories are currently the most challenging for H1B visa holders seeking green cards.
- EB1 (L1) processing times, which were previously around 6 months, have now extended to approximately 3 years.
- The backlog of over 400,000 applications is contributing to the lengthy wait times.
- The 7% country cap limits the number of green cards available to applicants from any single country, exacerbating delays for Indian nationals.
