This Nepal EB-3 skilled worker case was processed at NBC in roughly 3 months from receipt date (December 2026 to March 2027), with no RFE and no interview — a relatively smooth adjudication pattern seen at NBC for employment-based cases. Nepal falls under the rest-of-world cutoff dates for EB-3 skilled workers, which means current priority dates apply. Applicants with similar PDs and COB Nepal who filed around the same period should be within NBC's processing window. The I-485J (job confirmation supplement) was submitted just one day before final approval, which is a common last-step pattern before NBC issues the decision.
