This page tracks EB-3 Other Workers for applicants born in countries without a separate column in every Visa Bulletin since October 2015. Movement is measured between published cutoff dates; it is not a forecast. USCIS counted 43,689 approved EB-3 Other Workers petitions for people born in other countries still waiting for a visa as of June 2026. USCIS counts only approved petitions whose priority date was not yet current that month, and only principal applicants, so the number falls whenever the cutoff moves.

About EB-3 Other Workers

EB-3 Other Workers covers jobs that need less than two years of training or experience. No more than 10,000 of the EB-3 numbers may go to Other Workers each year, and the NACARA program reduces that further.

This column, "All Chargeability Areas Except Those Listed", applies to people born in any country without a column of its own, which is most of the world.

It was "Current" in 48 of 133 bulletins. Between its first dated cutoff in our records (2015) and its latest (2026), the date moved forward 6.4 years, advancing in 38 bulletins and retrogressing in 3.
