Frequently Asked Questions
Why are immigration wait times so long for some countries?
The US has per-country caps that limit the number of visas issued to any single country to 7% of the total. Countries with high demand (India, China, Philippines, Mexico) have significant backlogs because demand far exceeds the annual cap.
What is a priority date?
Your priority date is the date your immigration petition was filed (or labor certification for employment-based). Your visa becomes available when the State Department processes priority dates up to your date.
Can I speed up my immigration process?
Options include premium processing (for certain employment petitions), upgrading to a different visa category, or seeking expedited processing due to humanitarian reasons. An immigration attorney can advise on available options.
