November 2023 Green Card Backlog Report Archive

The green card backlog was at 273,263 cases last month, a 0.8% decrease from August. The number of scheduled green card interviews also went down.

The Department of State’s National Visa Center (NVC) saw an increase in the immigrant visa (IV) backlog, from 273,263 in September to 311,550 in October — a 14% increase.

The number of green card applicants whose cases were documentarily complete and ready to be scheduled for an interview increased, from 312,018 in September to 353,362 (a 13% increase). 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 — 41,812 in October compared to 38,755 interviews in September.
