That thread begins now: 1) As of the October 2023 visa bulletin, large green card backlogs have developed for people with approved I-140s from all countries, not just from India and China.

I know I have posted these before, but people always seem to forget, and many times there are new people who involved in the immigration world.

6) be the spouse or child of someone in the backlog who dies
