The first two quarters of 2025 brought a number of EB-3 Unskilled (Other Workers) visa approvals. Our compiled reports from Q1 and Q2 of 2025 show increasing momentum in this category compared to previous years.
Many applicants whose cases had been pending due to visa bulletin backlogs finally received their approvals in early 2025. These included beneficiaries from various countries (such as Thailand, Vietnam, and more) and across different sponsoring employers. The trend suggests that USCIS and the State Department are working through the EB-3 Unskilled backlog steadily. For applicants still waiting, these approval reports offer hope — the long wait times are resulting in tangible approvals, and the pipeline is moving.
