Study affirms that only 3% of US residency applications would be approved

A recent study revealed that USA has reached an all-time low in its approval rate permanent residences (Green Cards) for applicants of the important immigration process who are chasing the “American dream.”

The Cato Institute shared the report “Green Card Approval Rate Reaches Record Lows,” which ensures that the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), will only approve 3% of applicants during fiscal year 2024.

“In a world where 97% of applicants are rejected, the vast majority of people around the world feel they have no way to come to the United States legally,” the report states.

Currently, the Citizenship and Immigration Service of USA has more than 34 million pending applications to review.

According to the report, the problem lies in the government's annual limit that will only allow 1.1 million permanent residences for fiscal year 2024.

Furthermore, he assures that “before the limits were imposed in 1921, an average of 98% of immigrants were approved each year. After the caps, the average year only admitted 16%.”

Immigration lawyer Katherine Canto explains that “the solution would be for Congress to act and expand the limitation that we have right now on applications through family and employment, because otherwise there is no way to accelerate these processes.”

That is why the report concludes with a recommendation for Congress, which is to expand those limits:

“With population and workforce growth near historic lows, Congress should seize the opportunity to improve the country's long-term demographic prospects.”
