US Visa Retrogression: What It Means for Indian Applicants
The recent Visa Bulletin released by the US Department of State has brought concerning news for employment-based US visa applicants and green card hopefuls from India. With over two years of retrogression announced for India, and a staggering two and a half years for China, many applicants are left wondering about the implications of this development.
Understanding Visa Retrogression
Visa retrogression occurs when the number of applicants surpasses the annual cap set by the US government for a specific visa category. This situation leads to delays, as applicants are pushed back in line, often resulting in longer wait times for approval. For those in the EB-5 and green card categories, this can mean significant setbacks in their immigration journey.
Impact on Indian Applicants
For Indian applicants, the announcement of over two years of retrogression signifies a longer wait for those seeking employment-based visas. This delay can affect not only professional opportunities but also personal plans, such as family reunification and relocation to the United States.
What Can Applicants Do?
While the retrogression may feel disheartening, applicants can take proactive steps to navigate this challenging landscape. Staying informed about visa updates, considering alternative visa options, or exploring the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program could be beneficial. It’s also advisable to consult with immigration experts to understand the best course of action tailored to individual circumstances.
