This page tracks EB-3 Other Workers for applicants born in Philippines in every Visa Bulletin since October 2015. Movement is measured between published cutoff dates; it is not a forecast. USCIS counted 5,627 approved EB-3 Other Workers petitions for people born in Philippines 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 for Philippines

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.

The Philippines has its own column because demand from people born there is higher than the per-country limit of 7% of all preference visas.

It was "Current" in 21 of 133 bulletins. Between its first dated cutoff in our records (2015) and its latest (2026), the date moved forward 15 years, advancing in 61 bulletins and retrogressing in 3.
