Did you know there are only 140,000 employment-based green cards issued each year?
Those numbers are split across five categories, each with its own eligibility rules and annual limits. If you’re applying under EB-1A, EB-2 NIW, or EB-3, it’s critical to understand where your petition falls — and how quickly those visa numbers can run out.
Why This Matters
Each fiscal year, once the allocation for a category is reached, the door closes. Even if your petition is strong and fully qualified, you’ll be forced to wait until the next cycle.
This means your timing is just as important as your qualifications.
The Bottom Line
Employment-based green card numbers don’t last forever. They’re limited, highly competitive, and subject to retrogression when demand exceeds supply.
If you qualify for EB-1A, EB-2 NIW, or EB-3, filing sooner rather than later could be the difference between getting approved this year — or waiting months, even years, for your chance.
