The Department of State (DOS) predicts that the employment-based annual limit for FY 2023 will be roughly 197,000, thanks to the addition of about 57,000 unused family-sponsored visa numbers from FY 2022 to the employment-based limit for the current fiscal year. USCIS has pledged to work with its partners at DOS to use all the employment-based visas available in FY 2023, and they plan to take several proactive measures to achieve this goal.
