Number of EW Visa Issuances in 2025 - (January to May Summary)
HEATMAP OF THE VISA ISSUANCES BY TOP 10 COUNTRIES
The heatmap displays monthly EW (EB-3 Unskilled) visa issuances for 10 countries across
January–May 2025, with rows representing countries (Asian: Philippines, China – mainland
born, Vietnam, Korea, South, Bangladesh, Nepal; Other: Mexico, Brazil, Zimbabwe, SouthAfrica), columns representing months (January to May), and each cell showing the count of
issuances; color intensity encodes magnitude so higher values appear more saturated and lower
values lighter, allowing quick comparison across countries and months in a single view.
High-Volume Countries & Peak Months
Top performers:
● Philippines: 209 visas (May), 190 visas (February) — highest monthly issuances overall
● Mexico: 182 visas (March) — significant single-month spike
● Brazil: 138 visas (May) — dramatic surge from near-zero earlier months
Low-Volume Countries
Consistently minimal issuances:
● South Africa: 6–18 visas per month
● Nepal: 4–30 visas per month
● Bangladesh: 5–26 visas per month
● Brazil (Jan–Feb): 1–3 visas — extremely low before May spike
Key takeaways
Demand is concentrated in the Philippines, which consistently leads volumes and drives the
Asian region’s majority share. China and Vietnam remain steady month to month, offering
predictable planning baselines without sharp swings.
Watch volatility: Mexico spikes in March and Brazil surges in May, suggesting backlog releases, operational pushes, or policy timing effects. Meanwhile, South Africa, Nepal, and Bangladesh
remain low throughout, indicating lower-priority impact on aggregate volumes. Across countries,May stands out as the busiest month, hinting at seasonal or operational patterns worth
anticipating in forward planning.
