🇺🇸 EB3 Unskilled Visa Processing Timeline – Updated with Official Sources

The EB3 Unskilled Visa offers a direct and reliable pathway to live and work permanently in the United States. But understanding the timeline isn’t enough — knowing how to verify each stage through official government sources is critical for a successful application.

✅ Step 1: PERM (Labor Certification)

This stage is handled by the U.S. Department of Labor to verify that there are no qualified American workers available for the offered position.

📅 As of April 21, 2025: Analyst Review date is showing December 2023 — indicating approximately 15 months of processing time.

✅ Step 2: I-140 (Immigration Petition)

This petition is filed with USCIS (U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services).

🔗 Visit: egov.uscis.gov/processing-times

• Select Form: I-140
• Category: Unskilled Worker (Other Worker)
• Service Center: Texas Service Center

⏳ Processing time is currently around 12 months, but it changes monthly — regular checking is advised.

✅ Step 3: Consular Processing or Adjustment of Status

If you're outside the U.S., you will go through the U.S. Embassy interview (Consular Processing). If you are already in the U.S., you may apply for Adjustment of Status.

🔍 To check Visa Bulletin:
Search Google for: Visa Bulletin DOS → Navigate to Employment-Based > Other Workers > ROW (Rest of World)

📌 If the category shows “C” (Current), your priority date is eligible to proceed.

🎯 Important Tips & Warnings

• ✅ Premium Processing is not always available, especially during retrogression periods.
