Figure 1. Immigrant and non-immigrant visas issued, FY 2017-25 (projection)
Bar chart showing immigrant and non-immigrant visas issued, FY 2017–25 (projection). The chart highlights the sharp decline in visa issuance in FY 2020–21, followed by a strong rebound driven mainly by non-immigrant (temporary) visas, which surpass pre-pandemic levels by FY 2023–24 and are projected to reach a new peak in FY 2025. In contrast, immigrant visas (green cards) remain comparatively stable throughout the period.
