no visa number available until oct 2024
The State Department, working in close collaboration with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, is pleased to announce the issuance of all legally available visas in the Employment-Based Third Preference (EB-3) and Other Workers (EW) categories for fiscal year (FY) 2024. Maximizing these visas facilitates legitimate travel for essential workers across many industries that greatly benefit the U.S. economy, particularly in our healthcare sector. The Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) limits the number of employment-based preference immigrant visas that may be issued within a fiscal year. Specifically, INA 203(b)(3) provides that the annual limit for EB-3 visas is 28.6 percent of the worldwide employment limit, of which not more than 10,000 may be made available in the EW category. Since all available EB-3 and EW visas for FY 2024 have been used, embassies and consulates may not issue visas in these categories for the remainder of the fiscal year. The annual limits will reset with the start of the new fiscal year (FY 2025) on October 1, 2024. At that point, embassies and consulates may resume issuing immigrant visas in these categories to qualified applicants. morehttps://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/News/visas-news/annual-limit-eb3-ew.html

NVC Proof of Finance
Hi all, My spouse (USC) and I have been living in Canada the past 3 year tax years making his income fall below the poverty line in the U.S. However my spouse just moved the U.S and has proof of income for about 3 months making about $2500 per pay check. From the quote below on this website (https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-5-collect-financial-evidence-and-other-supporting-documents.html), would it suffice to just provide the past few pay checks as financial evidence without having to add a joint sponsor? Evidence of income: "If you completed Form I-864, I-864A, or I-864EZ and the income reported on this form or your tax transcript reflects income below the poverty guidelines for the year the form was submitted, submit evidence of your income. This can include evidence of current employment or self-employment, recent pay statements, a letter from the employer on business letterhead – showing dates of employment, wages paid, and type of work performed – or other financial data."
