Friends, do you know much about the EB-3 visa? I just learned about this method of obtaining a US green card a couple of days ago. It turns out that you need to go through several stages to get an EB-3 visa. Do you know how long each of the stages takes?

So do you know how long it takes to get an EB-3 visa? Now this time has increased to four years, but I still decided to apply. Before that, I read an article about EB-3 green card wait times 2026 on the eb3.work website and was a little surprised at how much time it takes to complete each stage. The most time is usually spent on PERM labor certification, which is from 16 to 17 months, and this is just one stage! Next comes the I-140 petition, which takes up to a year. Then you track the priority date in the visa bulletin for some time. And then you wait another 12 months for the form I-485 adjustment of status application to be approved.
