There was a slow down in the number of green card visa applications in the year 2007, with year 2009 being the worst with around 38K applications. This corresponds with the weakening economy and generally green card applications are trailing indicators of the job market. 2010 saw a uptake in green card visa activity and about 81412 visa applications were filed in the last calendar year.
Another view of the data would be to see the trend in “approval” or denial rate of these visa applications.
Let us next analyze the success rate of this applications over the years.

Based on this data, one can conclude that 2006/2007 was the peak in terms of green card filings and the general downward trend since has been reversed. The number of filings are on the rise again, with the improvement in the job market.
Since there is a backlog in the number of green card visas available for countries like India and China in EB2 and EB3 category, SalaryQuest thinks that it would be useful to share the Green Card Perm Filings for the year 2006. The stats are broken down into various sections, like filings by country, green card filings by month etc.
First number of filings by country. As can be seen below, India and China lead the list followed by Mexico and Canada.
