Why the priority date for unskilled employment-based immigration has been getting delayed
I’m going through unskilled employment-based immigration.
Recently, the priority date has been pushed back significantly — I’d like to know why this keeps getting delayed.
Unskilled employment-based immigration has an annual quota capped at 10,000. So processing can’t exceed the annual quota, meaning if there are more applicants than that, they get pushed further back. If 30,000 people have already filed, that means a wait of about 3 years.
