State Department, Feb. 28, 2025
“The State Division, working in shut collaboration with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Companies, has issued all accessible immigrant visas within the Employment-Primarily based Fourth Choice (EB-4) class for fiscal 12 months (FY) 2025.
The Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) limits the variety of employment-based choice immigrant visas which may be issued inside a fiscal 12 months. Particularly, INA 203(b)(4) gives that the annual restrict for EB-4 visas is 7.1 % of the worldwide employment restrict.
Since all accessible EB-4 visas for FY 2025 have been used, embassies and consulates might not subject visas in these classes for the rest of the fiscal 12 months. The annual limits will reset with the beginning of the brand new fiscal 12 months (FY 2026) on October 1, 2025. At that time, embassies and consulates might resume issuing immigrant visas on this class to certified candidates.”
