Processing Times for EB-3 Visa February 2026
If I decide to apply for an EB-3 visa now, how long will it take me to get it? I have been thinking about getting a green card to live in the US for a month now, but I have doubts. How long did it take you to get an EB-3 visa?

Do you have any idea how long it usually takes to get an EB-3 visa? It literally takes years, now it's about four years from the first application to receiving the EB-3 visa. I was looking at an article a couple of days ago about how long EB-3 green card takes in 2026 on the eb3work website and each of the stages takes more than a year. PERM labor certification takes 16 to 17 months, I-140 petition about a year, and waiting for a priority date on the visa bulletin takes about the same amount of time. So if I were you, I would advise you not to delay, but to submit the documents so as not to waste time.
