U.S. Sets New Record for Issuance of Nonimmigrant Visas in 2023 Did you know that the U.S. Department of State issued a decade-high 10.4 million nonimmigrant visas in 2023? Well, it's true, according to the latest official figures, and 40% of those nonimmigrant visas were processed without in-person interviews. The U.S. Department of State also issued 563,000 immigrant visas (or green cards) during 2023, reducing the immigrant visa backlog by almost 50%. And 590,000 nonimmigrant and immigrant visas were issued last year to high-skilled workers and executives - the most ever.
