EB-3 Success Case: India Warehouse Helper—Other Workers Green Card

Short answer: The applicant worked in warehouse packing and support, under EB-3 Other Workers. The employer completed PERM and I-140; after the priority date became current, I-485 was approved in 2026.

See US EB-3 Employment-Based Immigration. India birth in Other Workers can still face quota pressure—check the bulletin monthly.

Lessons

Unskilled cases can still wait long for numbers; plan status and family life after I-140 approval.

Global Immigrate’s recommendation

Avoid PERM wording that implies two years on complex systems (easily read as skilled). Keep full priority-date records.

Data current as of October 2026. General information only; not legal advice. Individual results vary.

常见问题

Is Other Workers backlog long for India?

Often under pressure; follow the Other Workers rows in the Visa Bulletin.

Are all warehouse jobs unskilled?

It depends on minimum education/experience; equipment operation or supervisory duties can change classification.

Can I work in the U.S. while waiting?

Only with separate work authorization; an EAD may be available after I-485.

Can this case be copied?

Structure can be referenced; backlog timing cannot be guaranteed.
