📈 New numbers are out about who is getting green cards in the United States.
💡Why this matters: Changes in immigration policies and processing priorities can affect people who are preparing to apply or already have cases pending.
More than 1.3 million people became lawful permanent residents in fiscal year 2025, only slightly fewer than the year before. However, USCIS recently changed how it reviews green card applications for people already living in the U.S., giving officers more discretion in deciding who is approved.
If you're planning to file, or already have a case pending, it's a good time to review your case and make sure everything is in order.
