January 2024 Green Card Backlog Report Archive

The immigrant visa backlog was at 292,105 cases last month.

The Department of State’s National Visa Center (NVC) saw a decrease in the immigrant visa (IV) backlog, from 304,773 in November to 292,105 in December — a 4% decrease.

The number of green card applicants whose cases were documentarily complete and ready to be scheduled for an interview decreased, from 341,392 in November to 337,870 (a 1% decrease). A case that is considered “documentarily complete” is a case in which all the required forms and documents have been submitted and accepted by the NVC, and therefore the case is ready for interview scheduling.

The number of people scheduled for green card interviews also saw an increase — 45,765 in December compared to 36,619 interviews in November.
