✅ **Case Status: Approved**

An EB-3 applicant completed the full immigration process from PWD to I-485 approval in approximately 4 years. The case involved a 1-year non-current priority date wait before AOS filing, with final approval coming 3-4 weeks after officer assignment.
This EB-3 case followed the standard employment-based green card pathway. The PERM labor certification was filed in July 2023 and approved in December 2024, taking approximately 17 months. I-140 was filed with premium processing in January 2025 and approved quickly. AOS (I-485) was filed in February 2026 after a 1-year wait due to a non-current priority date. The I-485 was approved in June 2026, roughly 3-4 months after filing, with the officer assignment to approval window being just 3-4 weeks.

PERM took ~17 months (Jul 2023 - Dec 2024), which is consistent with current DOL processing backlogs. I-140 premium processing delivered fast results. The notable detail here is the I-485 approval speed: once assigned to an officer, it cleared in 3-4 weeks. Applicants with non-current priority dates should track the monthly Visa Bulletin closely — this case shows that once a date becomes current and AOS is filed, active adjudication can move quickly. Total process from PERM filing to green card: ~35 months.
