Stuck in limbo
2h
PD March 27,2023 I-140 Approved in October 2024
Hi everyone,
I’m looking for expert opinions or personal experiences regarding my EB-3 Unskilled case.
• Priority Date: March 27, 2023
• Category: EB-3 Unskilled (Other Workers)
• Status: Currently in the U.S. on F-1, but maintaining status is becoming difficult.
My questions:
1. When do you think a PD of March 27, 2023 might become current under EB-3 Unskilled, realistically? Any estimates based on current retrogression patterns?
2. Because staying on F-1 is becoming challenging, would it be better to go back to my home country and continue through consular processing?
• Has anyone here moved back and successfully continued their EB-3 process from abroad?
• What should I expect in terms of delays or complications?
3. How does the “75 countries visa processing pause” affect consular cases?
• If I move back, would this delay things further?
• How long could this pause last based on past patterns?
I would really appreciate advice from people who:
• have a similar EB-3 unskilled PD and are watching movement
• switched from adjustment of status to consular processing
• or understand how current consular slowdowns / pauses can affect timelines
Any suggestions on what I should do in my situation would be extremely helpful.
Thank you!
