Another major concern right now is the Visa Bulletin and green card backlog movement.

Each month brings mixed updates:

Good news:

  • Some employment-based categories are moving forward

Bad news:

  • Family-based categories continue to face long backlogs

  • Waiting times remain unpredictable


Understanding your priority date and category is critical.


The Bigger Shift in Immigration Right Now


Here is what we are seeing across the board:

  • USCIS processing times are increasing

  • EAD delays are becoming more common

  • Green card backlogs are growing in key categories


Immigration is becoming less predictable.

Because of that, one thing is clear:

Early planning is no longer optional. It is essential.


If your case feels stuck, you are not alone.

But the biggest mistake we are seeing right now is waiting too long to take action.

The system may be slower, but with the right strategy, you can still move forward.
