The EB-3 Other Workers visa category, which had remained current for five consecutive years from 2017 to 2021, has recently experienced a significant backlog. As of 2022, the backlog escalated dramatically, with processing dates moving from June 2020 to August 2020 in 2023, and further delays projected into 2026.
Key Details:
