About this document

USCIS statistical table on Form I-140 petitions received by fiscal year from 2013 to 2023 and current status. It breaks the data into EB-1, EB-2, and EB-3, with approval, denial, and pending counts, plus approval subcategories such as extraordinary ability and national interest waiver. The notes explain that the figures are based on filing year, can include multiple petitions per person, and may change with later updates.

Key points

  • Covers Form I-140 receipts and current status from FY2013 through FY2023.
  • Shows totals for all countries: received, approved, denied, and pending/other.
  • Breaks receipts into EB-1, EB-2, and EB-3 preference categories.
  • Lists EB-1 approval subcategories: E11 extraordinary ability, E12 outstanding professors/researchers, E13 multinational executives/managers.
  • Lists EB-2 approval subcategory E21 advanced degree professionals, including National Interest Waiver petitions.
  • Lists EB-3 approval subcategories: E31 skilled workers, E32 professionals, EW3 unskilled workers.
  • Notes that the report is based on filing year, not adjudication year, and petitions may be decided later.
  • States that one person may have more than one filed petition, so counts can include multiple petitions for one individual.
