  3. Real Scenario in Family-based Green Card: Typically, the demand for family preference visas is higher than available immigrant visas, forming a backlog. In such a case, USCIS issues them following a priority date (the date that USCIS accepts the I-130 petition for processing). The applicants can review a monthly visa bulletin issued by the US Department of State to check their position on the waiting list. When the priority date for the petition reaches the frontline, the publication displays its status as 'current,' indicating visa availability. Some categories of applicants obtain green cards within a few months, while others take several years. It is easier to get visas for immediate family members.
