Because more prospective immigrants want lawful permanent residency than the limited numbers of immigrant visas allow, not everyone can immediately get an immigrant visa. How long you must wait depends on your priority date, preference category, and the country to which the visa will be charged,” the USCIS says on its website. “If the demand for immigrant visas is more than the supply for a particular category and country of chargeability, DOS considers the category and country ‘oversubscribed’ and must impose a cut-off date to keep the allocation of visas within the statutory limits.”
