Annual Limits Reached For EB-4
The U.S. Department of State, in collaboration with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, has announced that all available immigrant visas in the Employment-Based Fourth Preference (EB-4) category for fiscal year (FY) 2025 have been issued. According to the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), there is a cap on the number of employment-based preference immigrant visas that can be issued within a fiscal year. Specifically, INA 203(b)(4) stipulates that the annual limit for EB-4 visas is 7.1 percent of the worldwide employment limit.
With all available EB-4 visas for FY 2025 now allocated, U.S. embassies and consulates are unable to issue visas in this category for the remainder of the current fiscal year. However, the annual limits will reset at the beginning of the new fiscal year, FY 2026, on October 1, 2025. At that time, embassies and consulates will resume issuing immigrant visas in the EB-4 category to qualified applicants.
