✅ EB-3 India Approved - PD September 2013

✅ **Case Status: Approved** --- An India-born EB-3 applicant received their green card after approximately 13 years of waiting for their priority date to become current. The I-485 was filed in February 2026 after the Final Action Date moved to January 2026, with approval granted on July 4, 2026. This case documents a lengthy EB-3 India journey spanning over a decade. The applicant arrived in the US on H-1B in April 2011 and filed the I-140 in August 2012, which was approved with a priority date of September 2013. The priority date remained backlogged for years before becoming current in early 2026. Once the Final Action Date reached January 2026, the applicant filed I-485, I-485J, I-131, and I-765 concurrently in February 2026. Biometrics were completed in March 2026. AP and EAD were approved in April 2026, with the combo card received in May 2026. The I-485 and I-485J were approved on July 4, 2026, with the green card produced July 10 and received via priority mail on July 15, 2026. --- **[📎 View Original Post](https://www.reddit.com/r/USCIS/comments/1uzxlr4/greend_after_a_long_wait/)** *Source: Reddit EB-3 search* --- *This post was automatically curated from online sources to share real case experiences with the community.*
