Green card processing in the U.S. has seen incremental improvements as USCIS continues to clear backlogs. Employment-based categories remain in high demand, with priority given to applicants in health care, technology, and STEM-related fields. Family-sponsored categories are also progressing, though with longer wait times for certain countries. Recent policy discussions include streamlining the adjustment of status process and expanding premium processing services. Updates to the Visa Bulletin remain key for applicants tracking priority dates. These changes aim to make green card pathways more efficient while balancing labour and family reunification needs.
