USCIS Reports Drop in Pending Employment Based Green Card Applications

Newly published USCIS data show a decline in pending employment based green card applications. The agency reported approximately 225,000 pending adjustment of status applications as of October 5, compared with around 266,000 in early September. This represents a decrease of approximately 41,000 applications. However, these figures cover applications filed inside the United States and do not include people waiting for consular processing abroad.
