May 2025 Visa Bulletin: Trends and Projections
The May 2025 Visa Bulletin reveals notable shifts across multiple immigrant visa categories. India’s EB-5 unreserved category has retrogressed again, reflecting surging demand, while EB-4 remains unavailable due to exhausted annual limits. Employment-based categories for India and China in EB-2 and EB-3 hold steady, offering limited movement. Meanwhile, family-sponsored categories exhibit modest progress, particularly in F4 and F2A. With rising global demand and tighter visa number constraints, strategic planning remains essential for applicants navigating these backlogs.
