✅ EB-3 Employer-Sponsored Approved - India (COB France) Consular Process

✅ **Case Status: Approved** --- A DACA recipient who entered the US in 1997 successfully obtained an EB-3 green card through employer sponsorship after a 4-5 year process. Unable to adjust status due to DACA status, they consular processed at the US consulate in Mumbai, India. The case involved the full PERM labor certification pathway followed by consular processing. Applicant entered the US in 1997 on a B2 visa and received DACA in 2013. Born in France, citizen of India, they were ineligible for adjustment of status as a DACA recipient and required consular processing. The employer sponsored the full PERM process through a law firm at no cost to the applicant (except an I-140 premium processing fee). The complete pathway included: Prevailing Wage determination and recruitment (DOL), PERM labor certification (DOL), I-140 immigrant petition (USCIS), DS-260 immigrant visa application (DOS), consular interview in Mumbai, port-of-entry inspection, and green card issuance by mail. Applicant had only 10 days of unlawful presence, which kept them below the 180-day bar that would have triggered a reentry ban. Total process spanned approximately 4-5 years. --- **[📎 View Original Post](https://www.reddit.com/r/USCIS/comments/1vq6bak/my_daca_to_eb3_green_card_journey_mumbai_india/)** *Source: Reddit EB-3 search* --- *This post was automatically curated from online sources to share real case experiences with the community.*
