How much longer?
I don't know about you guys, but it feels like victory gets further away with every passing day! When I joined back in 2024, there were cases being approved every week; now, that has become a rarity. It's truly sad. 😔 But we can't lose hope—with God, anything is possible. 🙏🏼

Employment-based and family-based timelines often fluctuate based on visa bulletin availability, agency workload, and background/security check cycles, so what you’re noticing, periods of frequent approvals followed by slower movement, is actually a known pattern rather than a sign that cases are no longer being approved. Adjudication speed can vary significantly year to year depending on staffing, prioritization, and country-specific visa availability, especially when demand is high or retrogression affects visa number allocation. While it can feel like progress has slowed, cases are still being processed continuously, they just may not appear as frequently in public forums during slower adjudication cycles or retrogression periods. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask them in our next Lawfully office hours session! - Attorney MaryJoy Chuba (All information shared here is for general educational purposes only.
