An EB-3 Skilled Worker case with a May 2023 priority date was approved in June 2026 after filing I-485 in October 2025. The entire I-485 adjudication process took approximately 7 months from filing to approval. The green card was produced just one day after I-485 approval.
An EB-3 Skilled Worker applicant with a priority date of May 23, 2023 successfully completed their adjustment of status process. The I-485 was filed on October 30, 2025, biometrics were completed on November 20, 2025, and the I-485J (job portability supplement) was approved on June 6, 2026. The I-485 itself was approved the following day on June 7, 2026, with the green card produced on June 10, 2026 — just 3 days after approval. Total I-485 processing time was approximately 7 months.

This case shows a ~7-month I-485 processing time for EB-3 Skilled Worker filed in late October 2025. Notably, the I-485J (Supplement J for job portability/continuity) was approved one day before the I-485 itself, which is a common sequencing pattern — USCIS often clears the job offer confirmation before final I-485 adjudication. Card production within 3 days of approval is typical under current USCIS processing. Applicants with similar PDs (early-mid 2023) who filed I-485 in the same timeframe can use this as a rough benchmark, though individual timelines vary by service center and case complexity.
