Can EB-3 visas run out before the end of the fiscal year?

EB-3 visas are intended for skilled workers, professionals, and other specific categories, whose issuance depends on annual limits that can run out before the end of the fiscal year due to high demand.

The U.S. Department of State sets an annual quota for these visas, which can be quickly consumed, especially during periods with a large volume of applications, affecting candidates based on their priority dates.

The processing rules and priorities may change over time, altering availability. It is essential to stay informed about changes in immigration policies and consult official sources and specialized companies that comply with U.S. legislation to avoid fraud.

Seeking up-to-date information and professional guidance is crucial to ensure compliance with legal requirements and to prevent surprises during the process.
