In a major shock to the green card aspirants, the USCIS has announced they will not accept any more EB-2 or EB-3 I-485 applications from India starting in 2024.
USCIS mentioned that they have a significant number of EB adjustment status applications in their inventory and from India EB-2 and EB-3. So they cannot accept any additional filings for the entire fiscal year 2024 and beyond.
