Background
Ms Yeung, from Taipei, applied with her husband. She wanted a US green card through EB-3.
Main concern
The backlog made timing uncertain, making it hard to plan work and life.
Our approach
After the labour certification and I-140 were approved, we updated her regularly on the backlog so she could plan.
Process and outcome
She received a green card in about 28 months, following the backlog.
Adviser’s comment
Clear communication during the backlog lets families plan their next steps with confidence.
EB-3 Skilled Worker application process
- Assessment and employer match (Varies): We assess your qualifications and confirm the employer and role.
- Labour certification (PERM) (Per Department of Labor timelines): Prevailing wage determination, recruitment and filing of the labour certification.
- File I-140 (Premium processing about 15 working days): Once the labour certification is approved, the employer files the I-140; premium processing is available.
- Green card stage (Depends on visa backlog): File I-485 or attend a consular interview when your priority date is current.
