Many EB-3 unskilled workers are worried about recent news regarding a 75-country immigrant visa suspension. Here is what you need to know.

If you are an EB-3 unskilled worker from an affected country and your case is being processed through a U.S. consulate, your visa issuance may be temporarily delayed.

However:

• Your PERM, I-140, and approved petition remain valid

• Your case is not denied

• Your interview may still occur

• No immigrant visas have been revoked

This pause does not cancel EB-3 programs, and it does not mean your green card opportunity is lost.

Most EB-3 applicants should expect waiting time, not rejection.

If you are already in the U.S. and eligible for Adjustment of Status, this pause does not directly affect your filing, though public charge review may still apply.

Patience and compliance are critical. Do not stop responding to requests or assume your case is over.
