Wait list for employment-based green cards is so lopsidedly Indian that per-country caps, designed to prevent a single country from taking over the whole immigration flow, mean USCIS can't give out all the extra slots freed up by drop in family immigration rollcall.com/2022/09/22/rec…
"The agency estimated that 95,000 Indian citizens received an employment-based green card this year, which is more than four times the typical number before the pandemic."
There is no "backlog" in job-based green cards -- but there is a *wait list*, because the category is numerically limited, for good reason, but tech firms importing cheap labor thru the F1 --> #OPT --> #H1B pipeline use green cards as bait, knowing that there's a long line.
