If you’re a Nigerian citizen—or from any country, really—who has a pending green card case and needs to go through the US embassy, it’s not looking good. Delays are at an all-time high, and it’s causing frustration for families trying to reunite.
I’m an immigration lawyer, John Khosravi, and I help married couples navigate the complex green card process. Recently, we received a response from a senator regarding a congressional request for a case where a green card holder had filed for their spouse and child. The case had been stuck in the embassy for over two years.
Shockingly, the embassy’s response revealed that they are only processing F-2A preference category cases—those for green card holders’ spouses and children—from as far back as 2021! The backlog is immense, and families are stuck waiting with no clear end in sight.
This issue isn’t unique to Nigeria either. Countries like Kenya are experiencing similar delays. Worldwide, embassies are grappling with a surge in backlogged cases, leaving many families separated for years. The situation is dire, and the uncertainty can be overwhelming, but there are ways to stay proactive and informed.
