The Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) limits the number of employment-based preference immigrant visas issued within a fiscal year. Since all available EB-2 visas for FY 2024 have been used, embassies and consulates may not issue visas in this category for the remainder of the fiscal year. The annual limit will reset with the start of the new fiscal year (FY 2025) on October 1, 2024. At that point, embassies and consulates may resume issuing immigrant visas in this category to qualified applicants.
For more information, see Annual Limit Reached in the EB-2 Category.
